Use of Oil Palm Frond and Palm Oil Sludge in Total Mixed Ration on Productive Performance of Finishing Goat
Keywords:
Finishing goat, Oil palm frond, Palm oil sludgeAbstract
The objective of the experiment was to determine feed intake, digestibility, productive performance and feed cost in total mixed ration of finishing goat. A randomized completed block design 2X2 factorial design was used. Factor were breeds (Thai native-Anglo Nubian, Thai native-Boer) and fiber sources in total mixed ration (OPF+POS, hay). The result shown that the goats received OPF+POS were higher feed intake at%body weight and g/metabolic weight than hay (p<0.05). Breeds and fiber sources were not affected on average daily gain and feed/gain (p>0.05). Goats received OPF+POS were higher digestion coefficient such as protein, organic matter, acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber than hay (p<0.01. Net profit with accounted for only feed cost/weight gain were similar in both breeds. However, goats received OPF+POS were higher net profit with accounted for only feed cost/weight gain than hay.
