Abstract

This research was conducted to know the impact of methane reduction in ruminants using coconut pulp as feed substrate on the quality of goat meat. This study used coconut pulp as an antimetanogenic substrate and was added to ruminant feed. There were twenty goats aged + 1 year. The feed was given with a formulation of 60: 40% forage and concentrate in dry matter with a composition according to the needs of the goats. This research was carried out by treating coconut pulp with four levels of different treatment, namely 5, 10, 15, and 20% and compared with the treatment without using coconut pulp (0%). This experiment used a completely randomized design with four replications. The average difference of treatment was continued with the Duncan Multi Range Test (DMRT) test. The goats were kept for 60 days and they were slaughtered to measure the quality of meat. The variables measured were physical and chemical quality of goat meat. The results showed that the physical quality and the chemical quality of the meat had no significant effect. The conclusion of this research is the use of coconut pulp as an antimethanogenic substrate for goat feed can maintain the physical and chemical quality of meat and reduce meat cholesterol.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of water hyacinth leaves supplementation in ruminant feed parameters of fermentation, and fatty acids ruminal fluid in vitro. The experiment consists of six treatments, R0: no water hyacinth + 30% concentrate; R1: 1% water hyacinth leaves + 29% concentrate; R2: 2% water hyacinth leaves + 28%; R3: 3% water hyacinth leaves + 27% water hyacinth leaves; R4: 4% water hyacinth leaves + 26% concentrate; R5: 5% water hyacinth leaves + 25% concentrate. The fermentation was conducted at 39oC for 72 hours using gas production technique. The results indicated that giving of 4% water hyacinth leaves and 26% concentrate of MCFA could reduce the number of protozoa and methane production (P<0.05) and increase propionate acid. It can be concluded that use of 4% water hyacinth leaves and 26% concentrate could reduce methane gas production and quantity of protozoa and also could increase propionate acid in rumen fermentation in vitro.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) leaves as a natural feed protein protector on production performance and meat quality in goats. A total of 16 male goats (±15 kg body weight) were used in a completely randomized design with four dietary treatments: R1 (15% tofu dregs + 15% concentrate + 70% forage), R2 (15% tofu dregs + 1% water hyacinth leaves + 14% concentrate + 70% forage), R3 (15% tofu dregs + 2% water hyacinth leaves + 13% concentrate + 70% forage), and R4 (15% tofu dregs + 3% water hyacinth leaves + 12% concentrate + 70% forage). The goats were reared for 10 weeks to measure feed intake and average daily gain (ADG), followed by slaughter to evaluate carcass characteristics and meat chemical composition. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and treatment differences were assessed using Duncan's multiple range test. Results showed that inclusion of water hyacinth leaves significantly increased feed intake, ADG, hot and cold carcass weight, carcass percentage, and meat protein content (P<0.05). Supplementing goat diets with 1–3% (dry matter basis) water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) leaves as a natural protein protection strategy significantly improves feed intake, average daily gain, carcass traits, and meat protein content. These findings demonstrate the potential of water hyacinth leaves as a functional feed additive to enhance the productivity and meat quality of goats.
