The aim of the research was to determine the effect of feeding concentrates containing fermented cow rumen waste on the consumption and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, nitrogen, NDF and ADF of local male goats. This research was conducted for 5 months using 20 local male goats aged 8-10 months with an average body weight of 11.71 kg and CV 12%. This experimental research used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatment is as follows P0: Kume grass 70% + concentrate 30% (without fermented cow rumen contents); P10: kume grass 70% + concentrate 30% (concentrate contains fermented cow rumen contents); P20: kume grass 70% + concentrate 30% (concentrate contains 20% contents of fermented cow  rumen); P30: kume grass 70% + concentrate 30% (concentrate contains 30% contents of fermented cow rumen). The results of the variance analysis showed that the treatment had no significant effect of p>0.05 on the consumption and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, nitrogen, NDF and ADF in local male goats. The conclusion of this research is that concentrate supplementation containing fermented cow rumen waste up to a level of 30% gives relatively the same effect between each treatment on the consumption and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, nitrogen, NDF and ADF of local male goats.
