Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the feeding practices and nutritional intake of Ongole crossbred (PO) cattle in Kebumen, Central Java. This study focused on body condition scores (BCSs) and their implications for cattle performance. The parameters observed in this study included the feed composition, nutrient content, and impact of different BCSs on nutrient intake. The results of this research revealed that PO cattle with poor BCS did not receive sufficient feed, resulting in suboptimal nutrient intake. Moreover, those with medium BCS receive sufficient feed but still lack protein intake. In contrast, PO cattle with optimum BCS demonstrated the higher performance compared to other BCS groups, with crude protein intake of 0.57 kg (8.81%), 0.15 kg of extract (2.32%), 2.08 kg of crude fibre (32.15%), 3.81 kg of neutral detergent fiber 58.89%), 2.27 kg of acid detergent fiber (35.08%), and 4.00 kg of total digestible nutrient (61.82%) of the total dry matter intake, amounting to 6.47 kg. The findings underscore the importance of proper feeding practices tailored to the nutritional needs of cattle to optimize cattle performance

Abstract

Farmers in Indonesia utilize a substantial amount of rice straw to provide feed for their livestock but restricted in terms of its low nutritional value. This study was conducted with objective to evaluate the quality of rice straw silage with addition of sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) meal and sambung nyawa (Gynura procumbens) leaves based on physical, chemical, and microbiological properties. The study employed a completely randomized design with 9 treatments (P0: 100% rice straw, P1: 90% rice straw + 10% sacha inchi meal, P2: 85% rice straw + 15% sacha inchi meal, P3: 80% rice straw + 20% sacha inchi meal, P4: 75% rice straw + 25% sacha inchi meal, P5: P1+10% sambung nyawa leaves, P6: P2+10% sambung nyawa leaves, P7: P3+10% sambung nyawa leaves, P8: P4+10% sambung nyawa leaves) and 5 replications, incorporating the addition of sambung nyawa leaves. The variables examined include the physical quality i.e. colour, flavour, texture, and presence of mold; chemical quality i.e. pH, crude protein (CP), and crude fibre (CF); and microbiological quality i.e. lactic acid bacteria (LAB), yeasts, aerobic bacteria, and pathogenic bacteria. The results of the physical quality test indicated that the addition of sacha inchi meal and sambung nyawa leaves resulted no significant difference. On the other hand, the chemical quality showed that the addition of sacha inchi meal and sambung nyawa leaves have enhanced the rice straw silage nutritional content (p<0.05) particularly CP content by about 4 fold. The microbiological tests showed that the addition of sacha inchi meal and sambung nyawa leaves had an impact on the preservation of silage by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. It is concluded that the quality of rice straw silage has improved by the addition of 10-25% sacha inchi meal and 10% sambung nyawa leaves
