Abstract

Milk productivity is highly dependent on inputs used in the dairy farm. The limited source of forage or native grasses with low nutritional quality reduce production and reproduction of dairy cows. Improvement of feed quality can be conducted by various ways, including fortification and supplementation with specific substances that have the potency to increase milk production. This paper describes the potency of local plants, nutritional and bioactive substances that can be utilized to improve production and quality of milk. Some of these plants are cassava (Manihot sp), torbangun (Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour) Spreng) and katuk (Sauropus androgynus (L) Merr) leaves which are potential as feed supplement for cows, goats, and buffalo. The high protein bypass and galactogogue compounds content in these plants are factors increasing production and quality of milk.

Abstract

Dadih is a product of fermented buffalo milk in a bamboo tube from West Sumatera. The decline of buffalo population in West Sumatera caused dadih scarcity. The demand of dadih is high because it is an integral part of the Minangkabau’s diet and culture. Cow milk can be used as a substitute of buffalo milk for producing dadih, although the product has slightly different characteristics, especially lower total solids. Producing cows milk dadih similar to buffalo milk dadih, fresh cow milk should be concentrated and added with skim milk. Single or combination of lactic acid bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Streptococcus and Bifidobacterium from dadih of buffalo milk or commercial culture can be used as a starter. Based on investment analysis, the prospect of developing cows milk dadih is feasible.
