Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the level of C. odorata (CO) silage-based concentrate on the blood profiles of Bali cattle. Three male Bali cattle (initial 2 years old with CV = 19,28%) were randomly assigned to one of three meals: rice straw and concentrates containing C.odorata silage 30% (RCO30) or  C.odorata silage 40% (RCO40) or C.odorata silage 50% (RCO50), respectively, using a 3 x 3 Latin Square Design. The was no significant effect between treatments (P> 0.05) on blood cholesterol (195.74-220.49 mg/dL), blood urea (48.41-49.44 mg/dL), total blood plasma (6.08-6.93 g/dL), blood haemoglobin (Hb; 18.18-18.92 g/dL), hematocrit levels (45.56-53.03%), erythrocytes (7.06-8.24 106/l), and leucocytes (8.56-8.84/l). Blood glucose levels, however, differed significantly (P<0.05) between treatment. Feeding Bali cattle with different levels of C.odorata-based concentrate resulted in the same effect on all blood parameters except blood glucose. Therefore, it is recommended that the use of C.odorata in a ration of Bali cattle can be up to 50%.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of biofermentation duration of Chromolaena odorata using liquid palm sugar as a carbon source on crude protein content, crude fiber content, and the in vitro digestibility of crude protein and crude fiber. The experiment employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments and four replications, resulting in 16 experimental units. The treatments were biofermentation for 0 days (LB-0), 7 days (LB-7), 14 days (LB-14), and 21 days (LB-21, control). The observed parameters included crude protein content, crude fiber content, in vitro digestibility of crude protein, and in vitro digestibility of crude fiber. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that biofermentation duration significantly affected (P<0.05) crude fiber content and in vitro crude fiber digestibility but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on crude protein content or in vitro crude protein digestibility. The lowest crude fiber content (17.55%) and the highest in vitro crude fiber digestibility (17.88%) were obtained after 7 and 14 days of biofermentation, respectively. Overall, biofermentation using liquid palm sugar effectively reduced crude fiber content and improved crude fiber digestibility, with 7 days identified as the optimal biofermentation duration. However, this treatment did not improve crude protein content or in vitro crude protein digestibility.
