This study aimed to examine the effect of supplementation on Moringa leaf meal and palm oil on the dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and water consumption in sheep. The material research used 18 thin tailed of 8-month-old sheep. The supplementation feed used was Moringa leaf flour and palm oil. The design used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 6 replications. The treatments include: P0: basal feed; P1: P0 + 2% Moringa leaf meal; P2: P1 + 0.5% palm oil. The variables measured were dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and water consumption. Data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of the analysis of variance showed that the treatment had no significant effect on dry matter (DM) and water consumption but had a significantly effect on crude protein consumption (CPI). The results showed that the dry matter consumption (DMI) of each treatment were P0 (control): 615.95 ± 98.50 g / head / day; P1: 728.37 ± 75.16 g / head / day; and P2: 616.62 ± 99.37 g / head / day. Crude protein consumption (CPI) from each treatment were P0 (control): 80.28 ± 12.84 g / head / day; P1: 122.55 ± 12.65 g / head / day; and P2: 93.64 ± 15.09 g / head / day. Water consumption from each treatment were P0 (control): 1535.67 ± 798.01 ml / head / day; P1: 1572.17 ± 855.73 ml / head / day; and P2: 1512.50 ± 532.67 ml / head / day. Based on the research results, concluded that the use of 2% Moringa leaf meal in silage-based feed supplementation increases the crude protein consumption (CPI).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
