Abstract

The main obstacle of the Ettawa Crossbreed does management at the farm level is that the forages are the only feed given because farmers could not afford the feed supplement, which leads to the inability to reach optimum productivity. In this study, the feed supplement was added as a source of energy in the form of concentrate to increase does productivity. This study used ten Ettawa Crossbreed does with a bodyweight of about 25 kg, divided into two groups. The first group (n=5) was the control group, meaning that the type and the amount of feed given was the usual forage given by farmers, while the second group (n=5) was the treatment group, meaning that the feed given was the usual feed given by farmers with supplementation of energy sources feed in the form of concentrate. Feed treatment was done for eight weeks. In the fifth and sixth weeks, the total collection was carried out. The variables observed in this study were nutrient consumption and nutrient digestibility. The results showed that the supplementation of energy sources increased (P<0.05) the consumption of total nutrient (forage + concentrate) compared to the control, dry matter consumption of the control and treatment group was 815.60±94.67 and 1235.76±124.28 gram/head/day, repsectively. Crude protein consumption of the control and treatment groups was 151.65±11.61 and 211.28±22.59 gram/head/day, repsectively. Total digestible nutrient showed a significantly different (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the dry matter coefficient digestibility for the control was significantly lower (P<0.05) compared with treatment group, namely 65.18±6.43 and 84.53±3.67%. Based on the results, it was concluded that supplementary feeding with energy sources concentrate significantly increased the consumption and digestibility of nutrient.
