Abstract

This study aimed to study the blood plasma minerals of  thin-tailed weaning ram prior to administration of Sargassum sp. as a source of minerals. Research materials and methods. The use of Sargassum sp. seaweed flour. sun-drying on 16 weaned thin tailed rams, aged 5-6 months with a bodyweight of ±11.8 kg for 3 months, using a 4x4 completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments, namely T1 = forage + concentrate + 0% minerals of concentrate, T2 = Forage + concentrate + cow booster minerals 0.38% of concentrate, T3 = forage + concentrate + Sargassum sp.5% of concentrate, T4 = forage + concentrate + Sargassum sp.10% of concentrate. The observed research variables were the consumption of macro minerals (Ca, Mg, K, and Na and micro minerals Cu, Fe, and Zn) and  balance of macro minerals Ca, Mg, K. and Na and micro minerals (Cu, Fe, and Zn blood plasma before and after treatment with seaweed Sargassum sp. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on mineral Ca consumption, Mg, K, Na, Cu, Fe, and Zn. Blood plasma minerals before treatment did not differ on Mg, Na, Cu, Fe, Zn, but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on Ca and K. The treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on minerals Mg, Cu, and Fe in blood plasma, but did not affect Ca, K, Na, Zn. Based on the results obtained, the use of Sargassum sp. 10% of the total concentrate with sun drying can increase the consumption of macro and micro minerals as well as increase the minerals Mg, Cu, and Fe in the blood plasma of weaning rams.

Abstract

Blood and hormone profile analysis can reliably determine the health status of an animal. This study aimed to test the inclusion of two levels of one red seaweed species, Palisada perforata (Bory) K.W.Nam (PP), at 2.50 to 5.00% organic matter (OM) in a basal diet (total mixed ration/TMR) on the blood (metabolite and hematology) and hormone (glucagon and ghrelin) profiles of Kacang goats. The study employed a randomized complete block design with three treatments and four replicates, involving 12 female Kacang goats with live weights of 23.84±5.26 and 26.96±4.10 kg. The result revealed that for the blood metabolites, supplementation of PP at 2.50% and 5.00% OM (2.97% and 5.94% dry matter, respectively) on the TMR as a basal diet increased (p < 0.05) the glucose and iron concentration, tended to increase (p < 0.1) the total protein, decreased (p < 0.05) the ureum and blood urea nitrogen concentration, and did not affect the cholesterol concentration in the blood of Kacang goats. TMR supplemented with PP at 5.00% OM had the lowest counts (p < 0.01) of white blood cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils. This treatment also increased (p < 0.01) the red blood cells and tended to increase (p < 0.10) the hemoglobin and hematocrit but did not affect the mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration of the blood. The plasma glucagon and ghrelin levels decreased (p < 0.01) at 5.00% OM supplementation with this seaweed. Therefore, supplementing a basal diet with PP at 5.00% OM is the optimum treatment to increase the health status of Kacang goats because it exhibits ideal blood and hormone profiles.
