Abstract


The objective of study was to identify performances of the “Ongole” Crossbred pregnant cows fed with fermented total mixed ratio (TMR). This study was conducted at colony cages in Boloh Village, Toroh sub-districts, Grobogan district, Central Java. It was conducted for 7 months starting from 1st March to 30th September 2018. In this experiment, there are 12 pregnant cows with initial body weight of 308,71±47 kg with the age of 3-4 years. The TMR with soybean forages and concentrate is fed as much as 2.5% of body weight to six pregnancy cow and the others were used as control with non-fermented TMR. Data observed include gas production, pH and feed in vitro digestibilities. Several parameters that were collected consist of body condition
score (BCS), mating interval and S/C. The data were analyzed using independent of t-test statistics. The results showed that based on the feed digestibility, fermented TMR have good digestibility and less gas production which is expressed by 48 hours incubation in-vitro trial.
Key words: Performance, Pregnant cow, Ongole Crossbred, Total mixed ration (TMR)
