Komposisi Serat Ransum Komplit Berbasis Daun Jati Putih (Gmelina arborea) Pada Lama Peyimpanan Yang Berbeda

Abstract

A complete ration contains full necessary nutrition al substances for the livestock at a certain physiological level. The ration is made as a sole s ource of nutrients, excluding water for basic livin g needs and production. This study aims to analyze th e fiber composition of white teak leaf-based complete ration at different storage periods. This study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replicates encompassi ng T1 (0-week storage period), T2 (4-week storage period), and T3 (8-week storage period). Re search result indicated that different periods of storage period had a significant effect (P<0.05) on complete ration NDF, ADF, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. However, no significant effec t was identified from cellulose content. In conclusion, an 8-week storage period did not signi ficantly affect the fiber composition of the white- teak leaf-based complete ration.
