PEMBATASAN ENERGI RANSUM PADA SAPI BALI YANG DIBERI PELEPAH SAWIT PADA LEVEL BERBEDA TERHADAP KOMPOSISI TUBUH
Abstract: Nowadays the
livestock industries are required to produce a low-fat meat, because fat has a
negative effect on the health of consumers. Efforts to address the accumulation
of fat is done by energy restriction in animal feed. If the feed does not meet the
needs of energy, then these requirements will be met by dismantling the body
fat stores. Feed given to cows intended toproduce maximum production
performance. The productivity of an animal to be seen apart from the weight
gain, it can also be reflected by the composition of body components. One way
to look at the composition of the animal body components with urea space
techniques. The aim of this research was to determine the potency of palm frond
as a grass field alternative to bali cattle diet. The experimental design used
was a randomized complete block design consisted of 4 treatments and 4 replications.
Feed treatments were : A = 60% field grass + 40% palm cake, B = 40% field grass
and 20% palm frond + 40% palm cake, C = 20% field grass and 40% palm frond +
40% palm cake, D = 60% palm frond + 40% palm cake. The results showed that the
use of palm frond various levels did not significantly (P>0,05) affect the
value of the body composition. Average water body on treatment A, B, C and D
were 51.15%, 51.24%, 50.61% and 50.85%, respectively. An average body protein
on treatment A, B, C and D were 13.22%, 13.23%; 13.0% and 13.15%, respectively.
Average body fat in treatment A, B, C and D were 30.49 %, 30.37 , 31.19 and
30.88 %, respectively. This study demonstrated that administration palm frond
could be used as grass field alternative to cattle diet.
