RETENSI N, Ca DAN P PADA KAMBING YANG DIBERI DEDAK HALUS YANG DIAUTOCLAVE DENGAN LEVEL BERBEDA

Abstract

RETENTION OF N, Ca and P in GOAT GIVEN FINE BRAN THAT OUTOCLAVED WITH DIFFERENT LEVEL. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of autoclaved fine bran use at different levels on the retention of nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) in goats. This study used four goats at age of 7-8 months old with body weight of 8-10 kg. Basic feed used was Brachiaria mutica grass, which added with autoclaved fine bran at different levels, as follows: R0 = Brachiaria mutica grass R1 = Brachiaria mutica grass+ 10% autoclaved fine bran R2 = Brachiaria mutica grass+ 20% autoclaved fine bran R1 = Brachiaria mutica grass+ 30% autoclaved fine bran This study used an experimental method based on the 4 x 4 Latin square design, where livestock served as row and experimental method as a line, followed by Duncan's multiple range test analysis. Results of analysis of variance showed that the treatment effect is highly significant (p <0.01) on dry matter intake, consumption and retention of N, consumption and retention of Ca and P. With Duncan's multiple range test showed that the treatment R3 was higher (p <0.01) than treatments of R2, R1 and R0 on consumption and retention of N, Ca and P. From these results, it can be concluded that the use of autoclaved fine bran up to 30% can improve the retention of N, Ca and P in goats. Keywords: Fine bran, Autoclave, Retention, Goat
