Abstract

Provision of animal feed in accordance with quality standards and adequate quantities has become a strategic need to increase livestock productivity and accelerate the availability and fulfillment of foodstuffs from livestock. In this regard, a survey research has been designed to study some of the local fodder plants that have superior potential as animal feed. Fodder plants are classified as superior feed varieties if they have properties: easy to breed, high productivity as a producer of forage and / or seeds, has a fast regrowth, is resistant to defoliation, resistant to grazing, resistant to environmental stresses, and palatable for livestock. Based on the results of the survey, several species of local animal feed plants that have superior characteristics have been found. One of them is a phasey bean plant (Macroptilium lathyroides (L.) Urb.). Phasey bean as a superior animal feed plant (TPT) besides being suitable for the above characteristics also has grown naturally in an area in Bali so it needs to be tested for its feasibility to be distributed throughout Bali.

Introduction

Provision of animal feed in accordance with quality standards and adequate quantities has become a strategic need to increase livestock productivity and accelerate the availability and fulfillment of foodstuffs from livestock. Phasey Bean (Macroptilium lathyroides (L.) Urb.) Legum Lokal Potensial Sebagai Pakan Ternak [Ni Nyoman Suryani, I Wayan Suarna, I Ketut Mangku Budiasa] Sebuah riset survei telah dirancang untuk mencermati berbagai TPT lokal yang memiliki potensi unggul sebagai pakan ternak. TPT dikatakan sebagai varietas pakan unggul apabila memiliki sifat-sifat: mudah berkembang biak, produktivitasnya tinggi sebagai penghasil hijauan dan/atau biji-bijian, memiliki daya tumbuh kembali yang cepat, tahan terhadap defoliasi, tahan terhadap penggembalaan, tahan terhadap tekanan lingkungan, dan palatabel bagi ternak.
