Tingkah Laku Makan Sapi Peranakan Ongole yang Diberi Pakan Berbasis Jerami Padi Amoniasi Dengan Metode Pemberian yang Berbeda

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding methods on feeding behavior include the frequency and dur ation of eating time, the frequency and the duration of rumination for one day, night and daytime. The study used twenty of local cattle feeder males (Peranakan Ongole) with an age range of 1.5 -2 years old and initial weight were 200-273 kg. They were fed randomly with four feeding methods of top concentrate, component feedingg, total mixed ration (TMR) and free choice. Thus, completely randomized design was used for this study. Data length of eating and rumination time was analyzed using analysis of variance and continuited by honestly significant difference test (HSD). The frequency of eating and rumination were analyzed using Chi square. The results showed that the treatments affect significantly (P < 0.05) on spent of eating night; rumination daytime and night spent, but had no effect (P>0,05) on spent of eating one day, spent of eating daytime and spent of rumination for one day. Rumination frequency one day, daytime, and night were not affected (P > 0.05) by feeding method. Night rumination of feeder cattle groups fed with TMR method were longer ( P < 0.05 ) compared to feeder cattle groups fed with Component Feeding and Free Choice method, but it was similar ( P > 0.05 ) to feeder cattle groups fed with Top Concentrate. Between the groups feeder cattle fed with Component feeding and Free Choice were not significantly different ( P > 0.05 ).

Assessing Nutrient Consumption and Fattening Performances of Simmental Crossbred Bulls Fed Concentrate Feed and Chopped Forage Under Different Times on Feed Offered

“…The formerly offered concentrate would lead to a digestive process by ruminal microbes to produce amino acids, which would be used for microbial protein synthesis (Purbowati et al, 2014). Also, it would accelerate the growth of ruminal microbes, so it was better prepared to degrade high-fibre feed (Bata and Sodiq, 2014). The large population of microbes, mainly lignocellulolytic, would produce lignocellulose enzymes to degrade fibre in forages (Turangan et al, 2018).…”
