“…According to Ranjhan (1977) RAC can stimulate microbial growth in the rumen which also causes the high use of NH3-N for microbial growth so the total NH3-N converted into urea will be reduced. The combination of NSM and RAC pollard produces optimal in vitro fermentability because the resulting concentrations of VFA and NH3-N are suitable to support microbial protein synthesis (Barkah et al, 2019). Moreover, various feed processing technologies have developed with various objectives, including increasing nutrient use, maintaining feed quality, increasing feed efficiency and reducing anti-nutritional substances (Retnani et al, 2020) Feed processing technology that has evolved are pelleting and wafering.…”

Nigella Sativa Meal (NSM) as a byproduct from Nigella sativa oil production contains high crude protein, but it is easily converts into ammonia (NH3-N) in the rumen. The processing of feed containing NSM into mash, pellet and wafer forms is expected to optimize the use of NSM as a protein source in feed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feed containing Nigella Sativa Meal (NSM) feeding in three different form song rowth performance, serum biochemical and hematological parameters of lamb. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 3 treatments of feed forms: Mash (M), Pellet (P) and Wafer (W)and 5 replications. The concentrations of NSM in the rations were 20% with the same formulation in all treatments. The forage to concentrate ratio was 30:70. The results showed that different forms of feed has significant effect on crude protein and crude fiber intake, blood triglycerides and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) concentration (p<0.05). Feed in mash form resulted in higher body weight gain compared to other treatments with the average daily weight gain of mash (120.96 g), pellet (117.23 g) and wafer (119.80 g). Feed in pellet form produced better feed efficiency compared to other treatments, with an average efficiency of pellet (9.89%), wafer (9.46%) and mash (8.71%).
