Abstract

Elephant grass is a common forage for livestock fodder, yet it is prone to damage and requires preservation through silage-making techniques. This study was investigating the potential usage of expired commercial syrup (ECS) as a source of glucose in elephant grass silage production. The research used a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and five replications. Treatments included a control group that consist of elephant grass (P1/control), and four supplemented grasses with ECS at levels of 2.50% (P2), 5% (P3), 7.50% (P4), and 10% (P5) based on dry matter (DM). After ensiling for 30 days at room temperature, various parameters were measured, i.e. aroma, texture, color, fungal growth, pH, dry matter, dry matter loss (DML), and fleigh value. Data were analysis using analysis of variance, followed by Duncan's test. The results revealed that ECS incorporation up to 10% DM had a significant influence on the evaluated parameters (p<0,05). The results showed P5 received the highest ratings from panellists for aroma (3.75; distinctive fermented acidity), texture (3.61; fine and non-clumping), and color (3.54; green). Additionally, P5 exhibited minimal fungal growth (1.57%), an optimal pH range (3.24-4.56), the highest dry matter content (31.4%), the lowest dry matter loss (2.27%), and the highest fleigh value (138). The research concluded that expired commercial syrup could use as a stimulant additive in elephant grass ensiling, effectively. Key words: elephant grass, expired commercial syrup, fungal growth, physical quality, silage

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to determine the effect of bitter leaf flour in ration with different levels of laying hens on the haematological profile. The materials used were 20 laying hens with Hy-line strain, 110 weeks old, placed in battery cages and feed with 16-18% crude protein content of 120 grams/head/day and drinking water addlibitum. Methods: The research was conducted using an experimental method with a completely randomized design four treatments that were repeated five times. The treatments were given in the form of bitter leaf flour in ration with levels of P0: 0% (control), P1: 1%, P2: 2%, P3: 3%. The variables measured were haematological profiles such as erythrocytes, haemoglobin, hematocrit and leukocytes. The data obtained were then analyzed using analysis of variance. Finding: The results showed that giving bitter leaf flour in ration with levels of 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3% had no significant effect (P>0.05) on erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and leukocytes of laying hens. Connclusion: It was concluded that giving levels of bitter leaf flour up to 3% did not affect the haematological profile of laying hens. Novelty/Originality of this Article: The novelty of this study lies in its exploration of bitter leaf flour (Vernonia Amygdalina) as a natural feed additive in the diet of elderly laying hens (110 weeks old), a topic that is still underrepresented in poultry research, especially regarding its effect on haematological health parameter.

Abstract

Avocado seed meal, a part of the avocado plant that is rich in antioxidants and various other nutrients and non-nutrient substances, has great potential to be utilized as an herbal additive in animal feed. This study aims to determine the effect of molasses addition on the nutrient profile and quality of avocado seed meal silage. The control treatment (P1) used plain avocado seed flour, while the experimental treatments (P2, P3, P4, and P5) incorporated increasing molasses concentrations of 1%, 1.50%, 2%, and 2.50% of dry matter, respectively. All treatments were silaged for 30 days at room temperature. Key parameters measured were nutrient content, temperature, pH, fungal growth, physical and fresh silage quality, dry matter loss, and Fleigh value. The data obtained were analyzed based on analysis of variance, differences in parameter values between treatments were further tested with DMRT at the 5% significance level. Results indicated that molasses significantly enhanced the silage's nutrient content and improved its physical and fresh quality by optimizing temperature, reducing dry matter loss, and increasing Fleigh value (P<0.05). The conclusion of this study suggests that adding 2.50% molasses can produce the highest-quality avocado seed meal silage as an optimal herbal feed for livestock.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dan menganalisis pengaruh pemberian aditif pakan yang berbeda terhadap perfoma, karkas, dan organ dalam ayam broiler. Penelitian ini menggunakan 160 ekor ayam broiler yang ditempatkan dalam petakan kandang litter ukuran 100x100 cm sebanyak 16 unit. Ayam broiler diberi pakan starter (CP11) dan selanjutnya diberi pakan finisher (CP12) sampai umur 28 hari. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap yang terdiri dari empat perlakuan dan empat ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri dari P0 (kontrol), P1 (Penambahan 0,003 gram bacitracin zinc/kg pakan), P2 (Penambahan 25 mL ekstrak rebus daun ketapang/kg pakan) dan P3 (Penambahan 25 mL ekstrak rebus rimpang temulawak/kg pakan). Peubah yang diamati yaitu konsumsi pakan, bobot hidup, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi pakan, karkas, serta organ dalam berupa ampela, hati dan jantung. Data dianalisa dengan analisis ragam (ANOVA). Apabila terdapat perbedaan yang nyata pada perlakuan, maka dilakukan uji lanjut Duncant’s Multiple Range Test pada α=0,05. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan berpengaruh nyata terhadap bobot hidup minggu ke-3 dan 4 (P<0,05), pertambahan bobot badan minggu ke-2, 3 dan 4 (P<0,05), rasio konversi pakan (P<0,05) dan bobot karkas (P<0,05). Namun, perlakuan berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap konsumsi pakan (P>0,05) serta bobot organ dalam berupa ampela, hati, dan jantung ayam broiler (P>0,05). Ekstrak daun ketapang dan rimpang temulawak pada dosis 2,5% dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti bacitracin zinc

Abstract

Empty oil palm fruit bunches (OPEFB) have the potential as ruminant livestock feed, but their quality needs to be improved. This study evaluated the effectiveness of fermentation ammonia technology with EM-4 and cattle rumen fluid in improving the nutritional quality and digestibility of OPEFB in vitro. The study used a randomized block design (RBD) with four treatments and six replications: P0 (2 kg OPEFB), P1 (2 kg OPEFB + 40 g urea + 60 ml molasses), P2 (2 kg OPEFB + 40 g urea + 60 ml molasses + 60 ml EM-4), and P3 (2 kg OPEFB + 40 g urea + 60 ml molasses + 60 ml cattle rumen fluid). Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the content of crude fiber (CF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and hemicellulose. Dry matter digestibility (DMDi) and organic matter digestibility (OMDi) were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's test at the 5% level. The results showed that the P2 treatment decreased the content of CF, NDF, ADF, and hemicellulose descriptively. The decrease in fiber components in treatments P1, P2, and P3 compared to the control (P0) showed the effectiveness of fermentation ammoniation in improving feed quality. Treatment P2 significantly increased DMDi and OMDi in vitro compared to other treatments (P<0.05). Treatments P1 and P3 also increased digestibility compared to P0, although not as high as P2. In conclusion, fermentation ammoniation technology with EM-4 and rumen fluid in OPEFB can decrease the content of CF, NDF, ADF, and hemicellulose, and increase DFM and OMF compared to the control.
