Abstract

This study aimed to determine the optimal combination of mangrove leaves (Rhizophora apiculata) and pidada fruit (Sonneratia alba) to improve nutrient digestibility as ruminant feed through in-vitro methods. The experiment used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments: P0: Mangrove leaves (100%); P1: Pidada fruit (100%); P2: Mangrove leaves (50%) + Pidada fruit (50%); P3: Mangrove leaves (75%) + Pidada fruit (25%), with each treatment replicated four times. Nutrient digestibility was assessed using the Tilley and Terry method. The results showed that treatment P3 (the combination of 75% mangrove leaves and 25% pidada fruit) achieved dry matter digestibility of 59.38% and organic matter digestibility of 62.56%, with a total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration of 125.54 mM and ammonia (NH3) concentration of 16.76 mg/100 ml. This combination exhibited high digestibility, indicating its potential as an alternative ruminant feed.
