aimed to evaluate the effect of substitution of native grass with ammoniated
cocoa pod on digestibility and live weight gain of sheep. Three treatments were
arranged in a randomized block design consisting of five replicates. The total of
15 head of 8-14 months old lokal sheeps with initial live weight 9-12 kg were
used. The treatments were A= 50% native grass and 50% concentrate, B= 25%
native grass+ 25% ammoniated cocoa pod + 50% concentrate C= 50% ammoniated
cocoa pod + 50% concentrate. The results indicated that substitution of native
