Control group were given forages while treatment group has feed ration consists of stem-midrib of palm, CPO sludge and salt. Each rations were formulated to have same dry matter percentage. They were treated 2 month. Observed parameters were dry matter consumption, dry matter digestibility, average daily gain and body condition score. The result shows that there were no significant result on dry matter digestibility, dry matter consumption (P>0,05). However, treatment group has better average daily gain and body condition score.
