Kajian Mutu dan Palatibilitas Silase dan Hay Ransum Komplit Berbasis Sampah Organik Primer pada Kambing Peranakan Etawah
ABSTRACT: This research was
conducted to study the quality and palatability of silage and hay complete
ration based on organic primer garbage in nine heads of Peranakan Etawah (PE)
Goat. The quality of silage and hay was evaluated By measuring pH, total number
of lactic acid Bacteria (LAB), palatability, dry matter (DM) and organic matter
(OM) aroma and color of silage. Nine heads of peranakan etawah were grouped
based on their lactation periode and randomly assigned to one of tree dietary
treatments. The treatments were (1) Control rations; (2) silage complete ration
(SRK); and (3) Hay complete ration (HRK). The results indicated that the silage
had PH 4.15 and total number of LAB was 2.4 x 10 cfu/g of silage. Dry matter
and organic matter digestibility of SRK were better than those of HRK. The
palatability of SRK was higher than HRK but less than control. Storage of SRK
for did not change dry matter and organic matter content. Organoleptic analysis
indicated that texture and color of HRK were changed at after storage, while
SRK was still constant. It is concluded that silage composed of organic primer
garbage has high quality in terms of physical, chemical and microbial
characteristics, prolong storage.
