Kecernaan Bahan Kering dan Bahan Organik Complete Feed Berbasis Limbah Durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) sebagai Pakan Domba Lokal Jantan

Abstract

Durian waste has the potential to be used as animal feed, but it needs further processing to increase its nutritional value. One way that can be done is to make a complete feed. The aim of this study was to examine the value of dry matter and organic matter digestibility of complete feed based on durian waste as local male sheep feed. This study was conducted at the Enclosure of Animal Husbandry Study Program and Research and Technology Laboratory of Agriculture Faculty, North Sumatera University and Loka Penelitian Kambing Potong Sei Putih Laboratory for 12 weeks and using 16 local male sheeps. The design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment consisted of P0 = control; P1 = complete feed with the main ingredient 20% durian skin + 20% durian seed + 20% elephant grass; P2 = complete feed with the main ingredient 30% durian skin + 20% durian seed + 10% elephant grass; P3 = complete feed with the main ingredient 40% durian skin + 20% durian seed. The variables observed were dry matter consumption, organic matter consumption, dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility The result showed that the use of durian skin and seeds in the complete feed had a significant (P<0.05) effect on the consumption of dry matter with average 1.131,05-1532,73 g/sheep/day, the consumption of organic matter with average 1.011,27-1.279,98 g/sheep/day, the digestibility of dry matter with average 73,95-79,72% and the digestibility of organic matter male local sheep with average 77,29-81,91%. The conclusion of this study is the utilization of durian skin and seeds in complete feed can increase the consumption and digestibility of dry matter and organic matter for local male sheep with the best dosage being 30% durian skin + 20% durian seed + 10% elephant grass.
