Abstract

This study determined the effects of different flushing frequency on performance and blood metabolite profile of ewes and their suckling lambs at pre-weaning period. Twelve multiparous Garut ewes (2 years-old, BW 30.06 ± 6.20 kg) and 18 lambs born to experimental ewes (lambing weight 2.49 ± 0.56 kg) were used in this study. Ewes were randomly assigned into four treatment groups in a complete block design, namely: without flushing (T0: control), flushing at the beginning of mating (T1: 2 weeks before and after mating), two times flushing (T2: T1 + 4 weeks flushing at mid-gestation), and three times flushing (T3: T2 + 2 weeks flushing at before and after parturition). Three times flushing increased ((p<0.05) the crude fat intake, while different flushing frequencies did not affect (p>0.05) dry matter intake and intakes of crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract, and total digestible nutrients of ewes at the pre-weaning period. Different flushing frequencies did not change (p>0.05) the productive performances of ewes during the pre-weaning period. Flushing application improved (p<0.05) the average daily gain of pre-weaning lambs at 14 days, but it did not affect the weaning weight of lambs. Two times flushing showed no pre-weaning mortality rate (p<0.05). Flushing application tended to decrease (p=0.08) blood plasma triglyceride of ewes at 21- days, while two times flushing frequency tended to increase blood plasma cholesterol (p=0.05) and triglyceride (p=0.08) of lambs at 21 days. In conclusion, increased flushing frequency supports ewes and their twin lamb growth performance and blood metabolite profile at the pre-weaning period

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate effects of Molasses replacement with Vinasse-molasses in ration on the blood metabolite profiles and mRNA expression of Growth Hormone 1 (GH1) of finishing Peranakan Ongole (PO) Cattle.Methods: Ten male PO cattle in averaged 209 ± 21 kg of body weight were equally allocated to receive either molasses or Vinasse-molasses dietary treatments. The concentrate diet was contained of either 15% of molasses (control) or Vinasse-molasses. This study observed the nutrient intake, percentage of weight gain, blood metabolite profiles and GH1 mRNA expression of PO cattle.Results: The result showed that replacing molasses with vinasse-molasses reduced (P<0.05) dry matter intake (DMI) and intakes of crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), and total digestible nutrient (TDN). Nevertheless, Vinasse-molasses inclusion did not change (P>0.05) percentage of weight gain. Vinasse-molasses increased (P<0.05) the blood urea nitrogen level, while it did not affect (P>0.05) the GH1 mRNA levels.Conclusions: It can be concluded that replacing molasses with vinasse-molasses does not change blood metabolite profile, GH1 mRNA expression and performance of PO cattle.  Vinasse-molasses could be applied as energy sources ingredient to replace molasses in finishing cattle feed.
