Daftar Isi:
- The condition beef cattle that were kept by the farmers around palm oil plantations in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia are currently only rely on the grass for animal feed. The location of grazing field is far enough approximately 4-10 km for 4-5 hours per day. It is a distant and long time to feed the Bali cows. Therefore, the source of feed in palm oil can be used as the main feed to optimize cattle production. Palm oil plantations have a very large source of feed for Bali cow, including the legume crop cover, by-product of palm oil plantations such as oil palm frond and by-product of palm oil mills such as palm kernel cake. As cattle feed, the potential feed plantation should be sufficiently visible in terms of production, nutrients, palatability and digestibility to produce a good Bali cow productivity. The results showed that the complete feed from palm oil plantation gave higher feed consumption, digestibility, high calves birth weight and shorter post partum estrus. Calves birth weight and post partum estrus in these group were 18.13 kg and 54.6 days better compared to others group which was 15.07 kg and 69.9 days. It can be concluded that complete feed from palm oil plantation can increase calves birth weight 20.3% and accelerated post partum estrus of 15.3 days.
