Efektivitas Penggunaan Daun Kembang Sepatu sebagai Agensia Defaunasi dalam Pakan Berkonsentrat Tinggi dengan Jenis Hijauan Berbeda Ditinjau dari Kecernaan Nutrienpada Kambing Kacang Jantan
Abstrak: Feeding
high-concentrateration stimulates the protozoa to grow quickly, thus inhibits
the growth of rumen bacteria,and leads to decrease in digestibility of
nutrients, especially crude fiber. Defaunation is required to reduce the
protozoa population in the rumen, for exampleby using China rose (Hibiscus
rosa-sinensis) leafwhich containing saponins. This study investigated the
effectiveness of China rose leaf as defaunation agent in high-concentrate feed
with different forage based on nutrient digestibility in kacang goats. A total
of16 male kacang goats with average body weight of 13.68 ± 1.55 kg was divided
into 2 treatments i.e. P1: 40% peanut straw + 50% concentrate + 10% China
roseleaf and P2: 40% king grass + 50% concentrate + 10% China rose leaf. The
data obtained were analyzed by t-test. The results showed that the goats fed
peanut straw generated higher (P<0.05) dry matter intake than the goats fed
king grass (819.56 vs 678.65 gram/head/day). Furthermore, the dry matter
digestibility in goats fed peanut straw was higher (P<0.01) than king grass
(81.93 vs71.64%). The same results were observed for the digestibility of
organic matter (82.96 vs74.35%) and crude fiber(78.12 vs 64.00%). It can be
concluded that the use of China roseleaf in ration containing peanut strawwas
more effective as defaunation agent as indicated by higher nutrient
digestibility rather than in ration containing king grass.
