Abstract
The study objective was to analyze the value of dry matter and organic matter of fermented vegetable waste on local sheep feed. Research conducted at the Laboratory of Animal Biology and the Laboratory of Nutrition and Feed Science, Animal Science Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Sumatera Utara, in June - September 2016. The research used local sheep with the average of body weight 13,4 ± 1,2 kg. The design experimental used completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment were ratio grass with fermented vegetable waste, composed of P0 (100 : 0), P1 (75 : 25), P2 (50 : 50), P3 (25 : 75) and P4 (0 : 100). Variable were measured i.e consumption of dry matter and organic matter and digestibility of dry matter and organic matter.Results of analysis of variance showed that the utilisation of fermented vegetable waste had highly significantly different effect (P<0,01) on dry matter and organic matter digestibility. Increasing utilization fermented vegetable waste increase dry matter and organic matter digestibility on local sheep feed. The conclusion of this study is the use of fermented vegetable waste can increase the digestibility of dry matter and organic matter on local sheep.
Highlights
Sheep breeding is one of the small ruminansia that is maintained by many people, especially in rural areas and generally in the form of local sheep
The results showed a very significant difference (P
Dry Matter Consumption From the data of dry matter consumption in the above table shows the highest average on treatment P4 that is equal to 480,14 gram / head / day and lowest rate at treatment P0 that is equal to 254, 61 grams / head / day
Summary
Sheep breeding is one of the small ruminansia that is maintained by many people, especially in rural areas and generally in the form of local sheep. Constraints that often encountered include low livestock productivity due to low quality feed associated with the availability of forage sources, especially during the dry season, so it is necessary to make alternative replacement alternatives are cheap, available and available throughout the season. This makes breeders look for other alternatives that can be used as forage replacement forage materials. The author intends to conduct research on the utilization of fermented vegetable waste against the digestibility of dry matter and organic ingredients of local sheep feed
