Abstract

Oil supplementation has abundance of benefit for animals due to its fatty acid content. Otherwise, oil supplementation is being limited due to its effect on coating feed in digestive system and lead animal to hardly digest others nutrient. Moreover, with proper treatment, animal may gain immense benefit from it. Much previous research was conducted on giving oil supplementation yet there are many things remain to be addressed. This article investigated the developing of oil supplementation and finding a gap to be filled to encourage the potential of oil supplementation in Indonesia. There are many items shown on this article such as types of oil, variables, level of oil supplementation and protection used. The result showed that in vivo method used more frequently than in vitro method and Lemuru fish oil was used most rather than another type of oil with the level was on 2 and 3%. Types of animals mostly used is sheep with parameters examined was digestibility. Much previous research also showed that many oil supplementation used protection treatment such as saponification. Furthermore, this article showed that there is mostly parameter used and types of animals and variety of oil supplementation in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the dose of humic acid in drinking water to optimize the use of fermented palm kernel cake (FPKC) in broiler feed. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments (T1: 0% FPKC and 0% humic acid, T2: 25% FPKC + 100 ppm humic acid, T3: 25% FPKC + 200 ppm humic acid, T4: 30% FPKC + 100 ppm humic acid and T5: 30% FPKC + 200 ppm humic acid) and 4 replications. The variables observed were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, live weight, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage. The data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), if there was an effect between treatments it was continued with Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT). The results showed that the effect of humic acid in drinking water had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the T1, T2 and T3 treatments, but had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on the T4 and T5 treatments. Giving humic acid in drinking water has not been able to optimize the use of FPKC up to 30%, but giving 100 ppm humic acid can optimize the use of FPKC as much as 25% in feed.

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between body weight and linear body measurements to develop a model Savannah goat farmers will use to improve the body weight. The study was conducted at Bosveld Game Breeders using 60 goats of both sexes (7 bucks and 53 does). A total of six variables, including body weight (BW), heart girth (HG), rump height (RH), sternum height (SH), body length (BL), and withers height (WH), were measured. Pearson's correlation and Stepwise regression analysis were performed for data analysis. Correlation findings revealed that BW had a significantly positive correlation (p < 0.01) with HG (r = 0.88), WH (r = 0.80), RH (r = 0.75), BL (r = 0.72), and SH (r = 0.57) in does. While in bucks, BW had a positively high correlation (p < 0.01) with RH (r = 0.99), BL (r = 0.98), SH (r = 0.97), HG (r = 0.97), and WH (r = 0.83). Correlation outcome suggests that HG, WH, RH, BL, and SH might be used to improve the BW of Savanna goats. According to the regression analysis, both bucks and does have a significant contribution (p < 0.05) of BL to BW. Regression results suggest that BL might be used as a single linear body measurement to estimate BW without a weighing scale. The current study might be used to predict the live body weight of animals to support marketing, breeding, feeding, and health services in rural areas.

Abstract

Concentrate can improve livestock productivity due to its high protein content. Meanwhile, a high proportion of concentrate consumption in livestock can decrease the pH of the rumen and lead to a decrease in rumen performance. Leguminous plants that have high protein and are abundantly available are a potential source of protein and concentrate substitutes in livestock diets. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Leucaena leucocephala (LL) and Indigofera zollingeriana (IZ) as concentrate substitutes in RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet on degradation of dry matter degradability (DMD) and organic matter (OMD), digestible neutral detergent fiber (dNDF), in vitro true digestibility (IVTD), pH value, NH3 concentration, and total gas production. This study used a Randomized Block Design, consisting of seven treatments with four replications. The treatments were: T1 = control consist of 40% Pennisetum clandestinum (PC) and 60% concentrate (C) (RDP: RUP of concentrate = 60%:40% of crude protein), T2 = 40% PC + 45% C + 15% LL, T3 = 40% PC + 45% C + 15% IZ, T4 = 40% PC + 30% C + 30% LL, T5 = 40% PC + 30% C + 30% IZ, T6 = 40% PC + 30% C + 15% LL + 15% IZ, T7 = 40% PC + 30% LL + 30% IZ. This study reported that leguminous as concentrate substitutes in RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet significantly affected nutrient digestibility and total gas production, while pH value and NH3 concentration did not differ among experimental diets. The supplementation of LL 15-30% and IZ 15-30% in RDP: RUP-based diet increases DMD, OMD, IVTD, and total gas production. The combination of LL and IZ 15-30% in RDP: RUP-based diets tend to depress OMD, while other parameters did not differ among experimental diets. The highest DMD, OMD, IVTD, and total gas production were observed in the experimental diet with 30% of IZ substitutes in the RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet. In conclusion, 30% Indigofera zollingeriana as a concentrate substitute in RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet can increase nutrient digestibility and optimize rumen fermentation characteristics.

Abstract

Ensuring year-round availability of high-quality forage is critical for improving the productivity of ruminant livestock, particularly under tropical climatic conditions where seasonal fluctuations frequently disrupt feed supply. This study evaluated the fermentative quality of silage produced from varying ratios of Tithonia diversifolia and Panicum maximum using an in vitro rumen fermentation system. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was applied with five treatment groups (T0 = 0% Tithonia, T1 = 25%, T2 = 50%, T3 = 75%, and T4 = 100%) and three replicates each. After a 21-day ensiling period, samples were assessed for pH, total gas production, ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N), and volatile fatty acids (VFA) using fresh rumen fluid from slaughtered cattle as the inoculum. Results revealed that increasing the proportion of T. diversifolia enhanced fermentative activity, as indicated by higher total gas and VFA production, and lower pH values. Treatment T3 (75% Tithonia) showed the most favorable fermentative profile, with significantly higher gas and VFA yields and NH₃-N concentrations within the optimal range for microbial protein synthesis. Conversely, T4 (100% Tithonia) exhibited signs of fermentative inhibition, likely due to anti-nutritional factors such as tannins and saponins. In contrast, T0 (100% Panicum) demonstrated limited fermentability due to its high fiber and low soluble carbohydrate content. These findings suggest that a 75:25 ratio of Tithonia diversifolia to Panicum maximum optimizes rumen fermentation and may serve as a promising strategy for improving silage quality in tropical forage systems.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the administration period of encapsulated turmeric extract (Curcuma domestica Val.) in replacing the role of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in the diet on the performance of broiler chickens. The study used 100 unsexed MB 202 Platinum strain broiler chickens. The housing used was a box-type cage measuring 70 × 60 × 70 cm per unit, with a total of 20 units. An experimental method was applied using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were as follows: A = control diet, B = control diet + zinc bacitracin, C = control diet + 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered daily, D = control diet + 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered every two days, and E = control diet + 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered every three days. The diet was formulated to be iso-protein (22%) and iso-caloric (3000 kcal/kg). Parameters measured included feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio of broiler chickens. The analysis of variance showed that the use of encapsulated turmeric extract had a significant effect (P<0.05) on body weight gain and feed conversion ratio but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on feed intake. It can be concluded from this study that the performance of broiler chickens fed a diet containing 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered every three days was able to replace AGPs in broiler production.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different extraction methods on the quality of alginate derived from Turbinaria murayana seaweed as a poultry feed additive. An experimental approach was employed using a completely randomised design (CRD) consisting of three treatments and six replications. The treatments involved three different extraction methods: acid, alkaline, and calcium pathways. The data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and significant differences among treatments were further examined using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The results indicated that the extraction method had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on alginate dry matter content and purity, while it had no significant effect (P>0.05) on alginate pH. Among the tested methods, the acid extraction pathway produced the highest quality alginate, meeting the quality standards set by the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC, 2004), with a dry matter content of 86.57%, a pH value of 9.17, and alginate purity of 36.28%.

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.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the interaction between Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) and high-tannin mangrove fruit extract (Sonneratia alba) on the in vitro digestibility of dairy cattle feed fiber fractions. The experimental design used a completely randomized factorial 3×4 pattern with three replicates. The first factor was the PFAD level (0%, 3%, 6%) and the second factor was the mangrove fruit extract dose (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%). Fermentation was carried out using the Tilley and Terry (1963) rumen stage method using fresh goat rumen fluid. The parameters observed included the digestibility of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose, and cellulose. The results showed that PFAD, mangrove fruit extract, and their interaction had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the digestibility of NDF and cellulose, but did not have a significant effect on ADF and hemicellulose. The combination of 3% PFAD and 0.5–1% extract provided the highest digestibility. Increasing PFAD and tannin reduced digestibility due to the fat coating effect and the formation of tannin complexes with structural carbohydrates. The combination of PFAD and mangrove tannin can be optimized as a functional feed additive based on local resources that improves rumen fermentation efficiency without reducing fiber digestibility.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding strawberry pulp (Fragaria × ananassa) at different concentrations on the sensory attributes of synbiotic yogurt. Sensory parameters, including texture, aroma, taste, and color, were assessed using a hedonic test. The sensory data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney post hoc test. The probiotic cultures used in this study were Lactobacillus fermentum L23, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Pediococcus acidilactici BK01. The treatments consisted of varying levels of strawberry pulp added to the synbiotic yogurt: P0 (0%), P1 (5%), P2 (10%), P3 (15%), and P4 (20%). The results indicated that strawberry pulp addition had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the sensory scores of texture, aroma, taste, and color. The best sensory acceptance was observed in treatment P1, corresponding to the addition of 5% strawberry pulp to the synbiotic yogurt.
