This study aims to determine the effect of providing complete feed silage from various types of forage with the addition of concentrate containing ZnSO4 and Zn-Cu isoleucinate on rumen fermentability (pH, VFA, and NH3) in Peanut Goats. The method used is an experimental approach with a Latin square design (RBSL), consisting of 4 treatments in 4 periods as replications, resulting in 16 experimental units. The treatments applied were silage based on Kume grass, Chromolaena odorata, sorghum, and Odot grass, each with 20% concentrate. The results of the analysis showed that the administration of 20% concentrate had no significant effect on pH (P>0.05), but had a very significant effect on VFA and NH3 concentrations (P<0.01). It can be concluded that feeding silage based on these forages does not affect pH, but increases VFA and NH3 concentrations.
