Birth weight, milk production, and milk quality of Ettawah grade goat at first kidding period supplemented with concentrate contained katuk (Sauropus androgynous) leaf flour and Zn bio complex

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of Ettawah goat at the kidding period, which supplemented concentrate containing katuk leaf flour and bio complex Zn flour. 16 goats were being used in the study with an average body weight of 38.19±2.4 kg. The study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates. The treatments were: T0=breeder pattern feed (forage of lamtoro + 0.5 kg concentrate); T1=feed pattern breeder + katuk leaf flour 77.5g; T2=T1+Zn bio complex 1.03 g/kg concentrate; and T3=T1+Zn bio complex 2.06 g/kg concentrate. Variables measured included milk production, milk quality, birth weight of the kid. The results showed that treatments had a highly significant effect (p<0.01) on the birth weight of kid and milk production, but it was not significant (p>0.05) on milk quality. Average birth weight of the kid, T0: 2.54±0.08kg; T1: 3.09±0.39kg; T2: 3.10±0.21kg and T3: 3.39±0.61kg. Average does milk production T0: 618.99±5.96; T1: 961.38±38.09; T2: 1016.49±17.35 and T3: 1144.00±92.67ml/head/day. concluded that supplementation of katuk flour and Zn bio complex in feed concentrate for elderly pregnant does of Ettawah goat breeders could increase milk production and birth weight of kid during kidding period.

Determinant Factors of Goat Milk Production in Banyuwangi East Java

“…The provision of drinking water is essential for milk production because 87% of milk consists of water and 50% of the cow's body consists of water [10]. In addition, environmental influences such as temperature and humidity can also affect the production and quality of PE goat's milk [7]. The coefficient of determination test results shows that the table's R Square value is 0.559.…”

“…PE goats have a milk production of approximately 1-2 liters/head/day [6]. In the maintenance of PE goats, many aspects need to be considered so that milk production can be optimal, such as livestock breeds, feed, water consumption, livestock care, livestock diseases, and the environment around the pen that can affect goat milk production [7]. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze what factors significantly influence the production of PE goat's milk production in Banyuwangi.…”

Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr.: a multipurpose plant with multiple uses in traditional ethnic culinary and ethnomedicinal preparations

“…The scientific evidence of lactation-inducing properties of S. androgynus is proved not only in humans but also in cattle. Noach et al [ 204 ] proved that cattle feed supplemented with S. androgynus leaf powder increases milk production as well as body weight in pregnant cattle and calf respectively. Harjanti et al [ 205 ] observed the positive effect of S. androgynus , Curcuma xanthorrhiza , and Alpinia galanga (70%, 25% and 5% respectively) on milk production and milk quality in mastitis diseased cattle.…”

Katuk (Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr.) dan Produksi Air Susu Ibu

“…Konsentrasi papaverin dalam ekstrak kental daun katuk tua adalah 6,3 g/ml dan papaverine dapat meningkatkan ekspresi gen prolaktin dan oksitosin karena dapat mengendurkan otot polos dan melebarkan pembuluh darah sehingga menyebabkan kelancaran sirkulasi hormon prolaktin dan oksitosin melalui aliran darah. Biskuit dengan substitusi tepung daun katuk yang teruji secara in vivo terbukti aman dan memiliki efek laktagog (Handayani et al, 2020), sedangkan penelitian sebelumnya dengan rancangan randomized control trial (RCT) melaporkan pemberian ekstrak daun katuk pada kelompok ibu melahirkan dan menyusui bayinya dengan dosis 3 x 300 mg/hari selama 15 hari mulai hari ke dua dan hari ketiga setelah melahirkan dapat meningkatkan produksi ASI 50,7% lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan ibu melahirkan dan menyusui bayinya tidak diberi ekstrak daun katuk dan pemberian ekstrak daun katuk dapat mengurangi jumlah subjek kurang ASI sebesar 12,5%.…”

“…Pengaruh pemberian ekstrak katuk sebelumnya juga telah dibuktikan oleh Noach et al, (2020) bahwa ekstrak daun katuk menunjukkan peningkatan ekspresi prolaktin dan oksitosin 2 hingga 26 kali lipat pada kelenjar pituitari tikus, sementara intervensi biskuit substitusi tepung daun katuk pada tikus yang diuji secara in vivo terbukti aman dan memiliki kandungan laktagoga yang mempengaruhi peningkatan produksi ASI yang ditunjukkan oleh pertambahan berat badan tikus yang diamati selama 15 hari (Handayani et al, 2020).…”
