<![CDATA[The study aims to determine the effect of cocoa pod fermentation on nutrient consumption in bligon goats. This study lasted for 2 months, in October-November 2024 and was conducted in Kuniran, Selorejo Village, Girimarto District, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) analysis of variance with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The materials used were fermented cocoa pods. Treatment P0 = 30% Elephant grass + 70% Concentrate + 0% Cocoa Pod Fermentation, P1 = 25% Elephant grass + 70% Concentrate + 5% Cocoa Pod Fermentation, P2 = 20% Elephant grass + 70% Concentrate + 10% Cocoa Pod Fermentation. Parameters observed were dry matter intake, organic matter intake, and crude protein intake. The results showed that dry matter intake P0 = 1002.59 g/day/head, P1 = 1011.70 g/head/day, P2 = 1032.58 g/head/day. Organic matter intake P0 = 628.07 g/head/day, P1 = 660.03 g/head/day, P2 = 671.23 g/head/day and crude protein intake P0 = 110.97 g/head/day, P1 = 114.97 g/head/day, P2 = 122.56 g/head/day. The conclusion of this study is that the giving cocoa pods fermentation up to 10% increase dry matter intake, organic matter intake, and crude protein intake. ]]>
