Abstract

Organic Fodder System is a planting system without using soil as its main medium. The use of fertilizers can be regulated in quantities and concentrations that correspond to the needs of plants during the plant growth season to obtain optimal results with good quality. The study was conducted to determine corn fodder's growth productivity and nutrient content under the treatment of differences in watering time and rabbit urine fertilizer concentration. The treatment was carried out on the difference in the soaking solution of corn kernels and the difference in the watering time of corn seedlings. Soaking was carried out by 5 solutions namely L0: water, L1: AB mix (commercial fertilizer) 1%, L2: rabbit urine fertilizer 1%, L3: rabbit urine fertilizer 2.5%, L4: rabbit urine fertilizer 5%, as treatment, and 5 (five) replication groups. Watering was carried out at three different time intervals (W1: 6 hours/day, W2: 9 hours/day, W3: 12 hours/day) with five replication groups. The variables observed were germination percentage, normal sprout percentage, corn fodder height, fresh fodder production, fodder dry matter production, fodder protein content, fodder crude fiber content, fodder crude fat content, Non-Nitrogen Free Extract (NNFE), and corn fodder ash content. The experimental design used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design of factorial patterns. Differences in rabbit urine fertilizer concentration and watering time impact germination percentage, normal germination percentage, plant height, fresh matter production, dry matter production, protein content, and crude fiber.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of goletrak grass (Borreria alata) as suplementation in hay multinutrient waffle on the growth performance in rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The experiment was carried out in 2 stages consisting of hay multinutrient waffle (HMW) production and feeding application in rabbit. The HMW was produced in three formulations: H1 was used 5% Boreria alata; H2 10% Boreria alata; and H315% Boreria alata. Physical and chemical assessment of HMW were performed to evaluate the feed quality prior to feeding application. A total of 18 local rabbit males (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were assigned to 6 dietary treatments, 3 animals each, consisted: T01 = 100% benggala grass; T02 = 60% commercial pellet + 40% benggala grass; T1 = 60% commercial pellet + 40 % HMW; T2 = 40% commercial pellet + 60 % HMW; T3 = 20% commercial pellet + 80 % HMW; and T4 = 100 % HMW. The addition of goletrak grass (Boreria alata) had no significant effect (p>0.05) on physical propertiesincluding colours, texture, aroma, hardness, and durability index. However, significant effects (p<0.05) were observed on the chemical quality such as fat and nitrogen free extract. The effect of HMW feeding had significant effects (p<0.05) on feed conversion ratio (FCR), body weight gain and average daily gain (ADG), but it had no significant effect (p>0.05) on feed consumption. In conclusion, 15% inclusion of Boreria alata into HMW formulation, with 40% HMW in the diet, resulted in improved FCR, along with increased total weight gain and ADG. These findings suggest a beneficial impact of Boreria alata inclusion of performance and feed efficiency in rabbit.
