PENGGUNAAN CAIRAN FESES SEBAGAI PENGGANTI CAIRAN RUMEN PADA TEKNIK IN VITRO : ESTIMASI KECERNAAN BAHAN KERING DAN BAHAN ORGANIK BEBERAPA JENIS RUMPUT
Abstract: The aim of this
study was to reveal the potency of faecal inoculum added with sugar and urea in
the in vitro technique to evaluate some grasses like Penisetum purpureum,
rumput kumpeh, Setaria sphacelata dan Imperata cylindrica when compared with
the rumen inoculum. The Tilley and Terry technique was applied in this study.
The treatments in this experiment were rumen liquid (control), faecal inoculum,
faecal inoculum + 2.5% (w/v) sugar, faecal inoculum + 2.5% (w/v) sugar and 2.5%
(w/v) urea and faecal inoculum + 2.5% (w/v) urea for treatment A, B, C, D and E
respectively. All grass samples were incubated with the treatments. Parameter
measured were the digestibility of dry matter and organic matter. Result of
these study showed that the digestibility of dry matter and organic matter of
the four grasses were significant (P<0.05). Treatment A using rumen liquid
was the highest in digestibility of dry matter and organic matter among other
treatments.
