Blood lipid status of “jawa ekor kurus” sheep supplemented by protected kapok seed oil

Abstract

This investigation was conducted to study the influence of protected kapok seed oil
(KSO) supplementation in its combination with rice polishing (RP) on lipid status of “jawa ekor kurus” sheep fed with field grass as basal feed. The amounts of 24 heads of meal “jawa ekor kurus” sheep were used as experimental material. Those devided into 8 treatment groups, consist of 3 heads as replication, respectively. There were two treatment factors, i.e. : KSO supplementation (factor I)and concentrate supplementation (factor II). Factor I consist of 2 levels, i.e. 0% (S0) and 10% (S1), whereas factor II consist of 4 levels, i.e. 0% (K0), 15% (K1), 30% (K2) and 45% (K3) respectively, based on dry matter (DM) consumption. Several variables were measured, namely concentrations of blood triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL)cholesterol. The collected data were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance with factorial treatment pattern (2 x 4) in completely randomized design (CRD). Supplementation of RP increase blood total cholesterol (P < 0.05), i.e. : 1.35 mM 1n S0K0 became to 1.93 mM in S0K3 treatment group, whereas its combination with protected KSO did not result in significantly variation of blood plasm cholesterol (i.e. : 1.93 up to 1.99 mM), along with increasing of HDL cholesterol (from 0.98 mM in S1K0 became to 1.21 mM in S1K3 treatment group) and decreasing of LDL cholesterol.( from 0.70 mM in S1K1 up to 0.69 mM in S1K3).
