Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of Indigofera leaves feeding (Indigofera zollingeriana) on the performance of goat livestock using meta-analysis studies. This research begins with integrating secondary data from various publications, getting journals and proceedings sources in PubMed, GS. The publications selected must contain information on the effect of feeding Indigofera leaves on goats. Furthermore, the data were collected into a database using Microsoft Excel. During data collection, experimental units of each data were equated, then analyzed using R version 4.2.0. The results of the analysis showed that the effect of feeding Indigofera leaves was not significant effect on ADG (average daily gain), PWW (post-weaning weight), and FCR (feed conversion rate). However, the impact was substantial (P<0.05) on feed consumption or DMI (dry matter intake). This indicates that goats favor Indigofera leaf feed, and can be used as a good forage legume to improve goat performance.
