Daftar Isi:
- Agricultural by-products, especially from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), can be easily found all over Indonesia. Parts of cassava that can be used for animal feed are leaves, stem skin covering, tuber (in dry or wet condition, with or without skin). Cassava leaves cannot be used freely as animal feed, because of the persistence of anti quality, i.e. Cyanide Acid (HCN) and tannin substance. Cassava leaves can be found easily in the dry season, when generally the presence of forage as ruminant's diet is so limited. This research used 24 mature Bligon goats. The goats were divided into 3 treatments, those are: C as Control Diet (conventional diet which usually be given by the farmenrs); T1 or Treatment 1 (Control Diet + 300 g cassava leaves); and T2 or Treatment 2 (Control Diet + 260 g cassava leaves + 200 dried cassava tuber).The result showed that cassava leaves supplementation increased ether extract (EE) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) consumption. From total consumption, cassava leaves and dried cassava tuber increased dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), EE and TDN digestibility, but reduced crude fiber (CF) digestibility. The effect of anti-coccidia did not come up optimally shown no significant differences of the number of coccidian oocyte in the goat faeces.
