Abstract :

This study aims to evaluate trace mineral and nucleotide supplementation in concentrate feed containing Moringa leaf flour on the consumption and nutritional digestibility of late pregnant goats. This research was carried out at the Feed Chemistry Laboratory and Field Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Marine Fisheries, Undana for 3 months. The livestock used in this research as test material for the use of concentrate feed containing Moringa leaf flour supplemented with trace minerals and nucleotides were late pregnant goat mothers aged 8 months – 1 year. This research used an experimental method with a 4×3 randomized block design, namely 4 weight groups and each was repeated 4 times. There were also treatments in this study as follows: R₀: pregnant mother goats were given field grass forage (control), R₁: R₀+Concentrate containing Moringa leaf flour, R₂: R₁+supplementation of 100 mg of trace minerals and nucleotides in 1 kg of concentrate based on dry matter, R₃ : R₁+ supplementation of 150 mg trace minerals and nucleotides in 1 kg concentrate on a dry matter basis. Feeding is based on the dry matter requirements of ruminants, namely 3.5% of body weight, with a balance of 70% natural grass and 30% concentrate. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect of p<0.05 on crude protein consumption, energy and crude protein and energy digestibility with the average value for each treatment on crude protein consumption (g/h/d) _R0 23.37±2.76, R₁ 48 .92±6.25, R₂ 49.82±6.64, R₃ 49.96±7.10, Energy Consumption (kcal/h/d) R₀ 944.73±111.42, R₁ 1555.28±201, 78, R₂ 1582.51±220.04, R₃ 1594.11±236.58, Crude Protein Digestibility (%) R₀ 53.04±2.07, R₁ 65.92±2.30, R₂ 68.74±2 .89, R₃ 72.80±5.17, Energy Digestibility (%) R₀ 67.66±2.64, R₁ 75.60±3.99, R₂ 76.23±2.02, R₃ 76.32±3.58. So it was concluded that supplementation of trace minerals and nuclotides in concentrate feed had an effect on increasing crude protein consumption, energy, crude protein digestibility and energy in late pregnant goats.
