Abstract

This study explored the potential of gambir leaf extract (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) from Sutera, South Pesisir Regency, West Sumatra, as a natural feed additive to improve fiber digestibility and suppress methane emissions in rumen fermentation. The study was conducted in vitro using fiber-based rations added with gambir extract at 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%. Parameters observed included digestibility of NDF, ADF, cellulose, hemicellulose, and methane gas production. Results showed that adding gambir extract up to 2% significantly increased fiber digestibility and decreased methane production compared to the control. This study proves that local gambir extract has the potential as an environmentally friendly feed additive to support the efficiency and sustainability of ruminant farming.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of supplementing ruminant feed with gambir leaf extract (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) from Pangkalan, West Sumatra, as a natural feed additive on the in vitro digestibility of crude fat, crude fiber, and nitrogen-free extract (NFE). The study used a completely randomized design with four treatments: T0 (control, without extract), T1 (0.5% gambir extract), T2 (1% gambir extract), and T3 (2% gambir extract). The parameters observed included crude fat, crude fiber, and NFE digestibility. The results showed that gambir leaf extract supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on all parameters tested. Treatment T3 provided the highest digestibility values, namely crude fat 66.47%, crude fiber 66.45%, and NFE 67.99%, compared to the control (64.17%, 64.52%, and 65.70%). This increase is thought to be due to the bioactive content of gambir extract, namely tannins (64.84%), catechins (60.11%), and saponins (0.96%), which work synergistically to modulate rumen microbes, protect nutrients from excessive degradation, and increase fermentation efficiency. In conclusion, gambir leaf extract from Pangkalan has the potential to be a natural feed additive that improves nutrient digestibility in ruminants. These results support utilizing local phytochemical-based resources for feed efficiency and sustainable livestock farming.
