ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the effect of giving different concentrate levels with the addition of tree legume on the digestibility value and total digestible nutrients (TDN) of dairy goats. This study used dairy goats in the lactation phase were 10 of the Etawa Crossbreed and 6 Sapera. The materials used are feed in the form of tofu dregs, elephant grass and concentrate composed of distillers dried grains with soluble (DDGS), corn gluten feed (CGF), coconut cake, soybean meal, wheat bran, molasses, gamal leaf flour, calliandra leaf flour. and indigofera leaf flour and then made in pellets. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RBD) based on grouping body weights consisting of 4 groups and 4 treatments. The treatment applied was a balance of feed in the form of forage elephant grass with different levels concentrat of 25, 50 and 75%, and control treatment in the form of rations that are usually given by farmers. The parameters observed were Dry Matter digestibility (DMD), Organic Matter digestibility (OMD) and Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN). The results showed that giving treatment feed in the form of the addition of concentrate at different levels containing additional tree legume did not significantly of DMD, OMD and TDN in dairy goats (P>0.05). The conclusion of this research is that feeding treatment in the form of different levels of addition of concentrate with the addition of tree legume does not increase the value of DMD, OMD and TDN in dairy goats.
