Abstract

The sheep breeding program at PT Juara Agroniaga Farm is aimed to increase the sheep population, in contrast to the predominant focus on fattening programs in most Indonesian livestock businesses at the time. Field data collection was conducted between June and August 2023 to assess the feeding strategy for the sheep breeding program. The farm had 200 ewes, aged between 1.5 and 2 years, with the potential for double and triple pregnancies. The observations in this study encompassed the evaluation of feed types, the nutritional content of feed, and feeding strategies implemented on the farm. The study showed that local feeds commonly used on the farm include corn tumpi, coffee husks, water spinach straw, pollard, copra meal, palm kernel cake, soybean straw, peanut shells, molasses, and lime. The nutritional content of the ewe feed was determined to be approximately 9.71%. This study showed that the feed intake of mature ewes ranged from 0.58 to 0.77 g/head/day, and the average daily gain ranged from 50 to 69 g/head/day. As a result, it can be inferred that the feed provided on the farm, with regard to its crude protein content, sufficiently meets the nutritional requirements of mature ewes during the pre-breeding, effectively preventing a decline the body weight. After the MF project, the nutrient intake and average daily gain (ADG) of the ewes tend to be high and meet the ewe requirements (SNI), compared to before the MF project.
