- The aim of the research was to evaluated the effect of fermented rubber seed meal in ration on the consumption, ration efficiency, average daily gain, and slaughter weight of ram. A completely Randomized Design was used in this research. The treatments were fermented rubber seed meal levels in ration, i.e.: 0%, 12%, 17%, 22%, and 27% for R0, R1, R2, R3, and R4, respectively. Each treatment was replicated for five times. Observed variables were consumption, feed efficiency, average daily gain, and slaughter weight of ram. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance, followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The result showed that the level of fermented rubber seed meal in ration highly significant affected feed efficiency, average daily gain, and slaughter weight of ram, but it did not affect on the dry matter intake of ram. Ration containing 22% of fermented rubber seed meal showed the best result in the average daily gain (64.89 /day), feed efficiency (0,0794), and slaughter weight of ram (24,68 kg).
