Abstract

Elephant grass is a common forage for livestock fodder, yet it is prone to damage and requires preservation through silage-making techniques. This study was investigating the potential usage of expired commercial syrup (ECS) as a source of glucose in elephant grass silage production. The research used a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and five replications. Treatments included a control group that consist of elephant grass (P1/control), and four supplemented grasses with ECS at levels of 2.50% (P2), 5% (P3), 7.50% (P4), and 10% (P5) based on dry matter (DM). After ensiling for 30 days at room temperature, various parameters were measured, i.e. aroma, texture, color, fungal growth, pH, dry matter, dry matter loss (DML), and fleigh value. Data were analysis using analysis of variance, followed by Duncan's test. The results revealed that ECS incorporation up to 10% DM had a significant influence on the evaluated parameters (p<0,05). The results showed P5 received the highest ratings from panellists for aroma (3.75; distinctive fermented acidity), texture (3.61; fine and non-clumping), and color (3.54; green). Additionally, P5 exhibited minimal fungal growth (1.57%), an optimal pH range (3.24-4.56), the highest dry matter content (31.4%), the lowest dry matter loss (2.27%), and the highest fleigh value (138). The research concluded that expired commercial syrup could use as a stimulant additive in elephant grass ensiling, effectively.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the addition of expired commercial syrup as an additive to the silage characteristics of a mixture of dwarf elephant grass and fine rice bran. This research was conducted at the Nutrition and Feed Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Science, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau. The content of Water-Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC), ammonia, and total VFA were tested at the Dairy Cattle Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Science, IPB University. A completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 5 replicates was used in this experiment. The treatment distribution was as follows: P1: Odot Grass + Fine Rice Bran 5% DM (control), while P2, P3, P4, and P5 were the addition of expired commercial syrup as much as 2.50%, 5%, 7.50%, and 10% DM, respectively. The ensilage process lasted for 30 days at room temperature. Parameters measured included pH, WSC, ammonia, total VFA, and dry matter loss. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, further tested using DMRT at 5% significance level. The results showed that the addition of expired commercial syrup up to 10% DM had a significant effect (P<0.05) on increasing lactic acid production so as to lower the pH towards acidic and reduce ammonia content, but there was variation in total VFA between treatments, including dry matter loss which was not significantly different between treatments supplemented with expired commercial syrup. In conclusion, expired commercial syrup can be used at 5% DM to reduce ammonia and increase total VFA of silage made from dwarf elephant grass and fine rice bran.

Abstract

Soybean pulp and brown rice flour have a high protein content to increase the nutrients of Pekingese duck feed. The experimental research method used a Factorial Design with 5 treatments and 5 replicates, the details of the treatment were as follows: Control (a0r0), addition of brown rice flour (a1, a2, a3 and a4), and soybean pulp (r1, r2, r3 and r4). Soybean pulp 3-12% and brown rice flour 4-16% respectively. The parameters observed were feed consumption, live weight, feed conversion, carcass weight, carcass percentage, abdominal fat percentage, and meat fat content. The data obtained were processed according to the complete random design diversity analysis. Duncan's Multiple Range Test tested the values of different parameters between treatments at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that the addition of 3-12% soybean meal and 4-16% brown rice flour did not have a significant effect (P0.05) on feed consumption, live weight, feed conversion, weight and carcass percentage, except for the percentage of abdominal fat and fat content of Peking ducks. The addition of 12% soybean meal and 16% brown rice flour (a4r4) was able to reduce the percentage of abdominal fat by 47.5% and the content of meat fat by 55.2% compared to the control. This study concludes that the addition of 12% (r4) soybean pulp and 16% (a4) brown rice flour per kg of feed can reduce the percentage of abdominal fat and fat content of Peking ducks.
