Abstract
ABSTRACTTHE EFDFECT OF CONCENTRATE UTILIZATION IN GUINEA GRASS( Panicum maximum) FEED ON NDF AND ADF DIGESTIBILITYIN LOCAL GOATS. A research was conducted to evaluate the effects of concentrate utilization in Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) ration on NDF and ADF digestibility. Twelve male local goats were used in this experiment and located in individual pens. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and three replication was used. The treatments were R1 = 100 % guinea grass, R2 = 75 % guinea grass + 25 % concentrate, R3 = 50 % guinea grass + 50 % concentrate, and 25 % guinea grass + 75 % concentrate. The results showed that the effect on NDF digestibility was highly significantly different among treatments (P < 0.01), and significantly different (P <0.05) on ADF digestibility. The conclusion was concentrate could be utilized up to 75%, however, the utilization of 50% concentrate was the best for NDF digestibility and 25% concentrate for ADF digestibility.Key words: Guinea Grass, Concentrate, Digestibilities, NDF, ADF, and local goats.
