Abstract

This study aimed to isolate and identify bacteria from the rumen fluid of Bali cattle and to evaluate their effect as microbial inoculants on the in vitro digestibility of rice straw. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments and four replications. The treatments included rice straw silage with the addition of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of local microorganisms (MOL) derived from cattle rumen fluid. The observed variables included the isolation and identification of bacteria from the rumen fluid, and the assessment of in vitro digestibility, including Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD), Organic Matter Digestibility (OMD), Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) concentration, and ammonia (NH₃) production. The results showed that the addition of rumen fluid MOL significantly (P<0.05) improved the digestibility parameters. The highest DMD (52.44%) and OMD (47.11%) were obtained from the treatment with 15% MOL. VFA and NH₃ concentrations also increased, indicating enhanced microbial activity and fermentation efficiency. The study concludes that MOL derived from cattle rumen fluid, particularly those containing Bacillus sp., is effective in improving the nutritional quality and digestibility of rice straw

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of propionic acid levels in feed on the performance of giblet organs and digestive tracts of pullet-phase Native chickens. A total of 80 Native chickens aged 12 weeks with an average weight of 400 g were used in this study. The research design applied was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Chickens were randomly divided into four treatments with four replications, where each replication consisted of four Native chickens. The treatments given were T0: control feed without propionic acid; T1: control feed + 0.25% propionic acid; T2: control feed + 0.50% propionic acid; T3: control feed + 0.75% propionic acid. Data analysis was conducted using ANOVA, followed by the Duncan Test to determine differences between treatments. The results showed that live weight, giblet weight, pancreas weight, intestine weight, intestine length, proventriculus weight, were highest in the T3 control feed + 0.75% propionic acid treatment, respectively, at 1622.36±38.24 g/head; 59.23±0.39 g/head; 3.54±0.04 g/head; 27.24±0.57 g/head; 27.24±0.57 g/head; 129.33±0.68 cm/head; 6.04±0.18 g/head. The highest giblet percentage and proventriculus percentage were in the T0 control feed treatment without propionic acid at 3.74±0.12%/head and 0.38±0.01%/head, respectively. The highest percentage of pancreas weight was in the T2 treatment of control feed + 0.50% propionic acid and the T3 treatment of control feed + 0.75% propionic acid, which was 0.22 ± 0.01%/head. The highest percentage of intestine weight was obtained in the T2 treatment (control feed + 0.50% propionic acid) with a value of 1.71 ± 0.03%/head. Analysis of variance showed that the treatment significantly affected the live weight, giblet organ weight, pancreas weight, percentage of pancreas weight, small intestine weight, intestine length, and proventriculus weight of pullet phase Native chickens (P <0.05). It can be concluded that the addition of 0.75% propionic acid to the control feed had a positive effect on the performance of the giblet organ and digestive tract of Native chickens.
