Abstract

Cobalt (Co) is required by rumen microorganism for vitamin B12 synthesis. Vitamin B12 is an important cofactor for methionine synthesis and gluconeogenesis. In young ruminants up to 6–8 wk old, the rumen has not been completely developed and rumen microorganisms are not ready to supply vitamin B12. The aim of this research was to determine the potency of mixed rumen bacteria and dietary supplementation of Co and its effect on plasma glucose, blood minerals (Co, Fe, and Zn) concentrations, and hematology of pre-weaning twin lambs. Twelve one month-old local twin lambs were assigned to 4 groups in a randomized complete block design. Lambs were fed cow milk at 10% body weight, adjusted weekly for 80 d. Mixed rumen bacteria were offered at 15 mL/d (8.295x1010 cfu). Dietary treatments were: 1) basal diet (Control), 2) basal diet + 1 mg/kg DM cyanocobalamin (VitB12) and 3) basal diet + 1 mg/kg DM of Co + administration of 15 mL mixed rumen bacteria (CoBac). There were no treatment effects on neither plasma glucose and blood mineral concentrations nor hematological profiles. This study demonstrated that pre-weaning twin lambs are not responsive to supplementation of Co and administration of mixed rumen bacteria.

Abstract

The problem faced in the livestock business is the insufficiency of feed raw materials both in quality and quantity, even though there is a supply of feed using indigofera legumes with physical innovations in the form of mash, pellet and wafer feed. This research aims to test the quality of feed made from indigofera legumes in various forms of mash, pellets and wafers. This study used a completely randomized plan with 3 treatments and 6 replications. The treatment S0 = Mash  feed composition of 50% indigofera legumes + 50% corn bran + 5% binding molasses; S1= pellets composition of 50% indigofera beans + 50% corn bran + 5% molasses; S2 = Wafer composition of 50% indigofera legumes + 50% corn bran + 5% molasses. The results showed that the pellet treatment produced higher specific gravity, pile density and compaction density values ​​(P<0.05) than the mash treatment, furthermore the wafer treatment was superior in producing dry matter and crude protein compared to the mash and pellet treatments. The research conclusion is that wafer feed is superior in producing crude protein and dry matter values.
