Abstract

        The objective of this study was to determine the nutritive value of saba banana peel silage as roughage source in weaning female dairy goat. Five Saanen dairy goats (87.5%), aged 7 months old with an average bodyweight of 14.10±1.52 kg, were studied. Five treatments, in 5×5 Latin squares Design (LSD), were designed. Treatment 1: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (80:20), Treatment 2: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (60:40), Treatment 3: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (40:60, Treatment 4: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (20:80) and Treatment 5: saba banana peel silage 100% were used in the experiment. The results show that pH, lactic acid, butyric acid, acetic acid, dry matter, protein and ash of saba banana peel silage were 4.57, 3.69, 0.00, 1.51, 11.35, 7.95 and 12.5%, respectively. The feed intake of roughage, feed intake of concentrate and total feed intake on percent body weight and metabolic weight showed no significant difference among treatment (P>0.05). Moreover, blood glucose, blood Urea nitrogen and hematocrit at 0 hr, 4 hr and mean were not significant different among treatment (P>0.05). In conclusion 100% of Saba banana peel silage can be utilized for raising weaning dairy goat.
