Penambahan Sabun-Kalsium dari Minyak Ikan Lemuru dalam Ransum: 1. Pengaruhnya terhadap Tampilan Produksi Domba
Abstract: Since the use of fat
more than 5% in ruminant diets would disturb fermentation process in the rumen,
the use of fat more than 5% must be protected. The calcium soap is one form of
protected fat. The objective of this research was to study the effect of
calcium soap in the diets on performance of sheep. Sixteen sheep were used and
divided into four groups consisted of four animals in each group. The sheep
were allocated in a Randomized Block Design. The treatment diets were, R0:
control diet, R1: R0 + 1.5% calcium soap, R2: R0 + 3% calcium soap and R3: R0 +
4.5% calcium soap. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and any
significant differences were further tested using contrast orthogonal. The
results showed that the treatments significantly (P < 0.05) decreased daily
gain, dry matter, energy and protein intake, but feed conversion ratio and
water intake were not significantly affected.
