STUDY OF UTILIZATION AND MAPPING POTENCY OF PLANTATION BY-PRODUCT TO SUPPORT SHEEP PRODUCTION IN NORTH SUMATERA

Abstract

The objectives of this experiment were to make a map of plantation by-product
and factory waste and to examine the use for sheep production in North Sumatra In
this research there was 12 heads lamb of Sei Putih Cross Breed and 12 heads lamb
of Sumatra Thin Tail. Concentrate contains 14 % crude protein (CP) and 70% total
digestible nutrient (TDN). The design used was randomised completely block design
with experiment factorial 2 x 4, replicated three times. The result of the experiment
showed that potency of plantation by-product and its factory for sheep about 4.7
million heads per year. Dry matter consumption, average daily gain and feed
conversion were not significantly effect (P>0 .05) among treatments.
