Indigofera Sp as a Source of Protein in Forages for Kacang Goat in Lactation and Weaning Period

Abstract

Study was conducted to investigate the effects of Indigofera as a souces of protein in forages for Kacang goat in Lactation and weaning goat. The research were performing by observing 12 heads of Kacang goat (lactation period) with three different treatments and ve replications in Randomized Experimental Design. Treatment I (RI): 100% of natural grass, (R2): 60% of natural grass and 40% of Indigofera sp, (R3): 40% of natural grass and 60% Indigofera sp. Proximat analysis was found crude protein of Indigofera 27%, fat 6,15, crude ber 15,25%, ash 6,41 %. Treatment of R3 showed the amount of average daily gain lactated Kacang goat is highest (90.74 gr/head/day) compare than R2 of 81.48 gr/head/day) while R1 is the lowest which only 32.59 gr/head/day. Meanwhile the that treatment of R3 is the highest in enhancing average daily gain of goat kids 75.88 grs/head/day while the treatment of R2 almost similar of 72.44 grs/head/ day. It is, however, R1 is the lowest compare other treatments (56.66 grs/head/day).
