Abstract

The effect of adding Mahogany leaves as a source of tannins in feed on nutrient intake and digestibility in merino sheep was determined in this study. This study used 12 male sheep with an average body weight of 30 to 35 kg. They were confined in individual cages and given feed two times a day. To separate feces and urine samples, there were nylon nets and a urine reservoir under the cages. The feed was given treatments of tannins addition of 0%, 1.5%, and 3%. The 14-days adaptation period and 7-days collection period were conducted to obtain samples: forages feed samples, concentrate, forage residue, and stool. These samples tested for their nutrient composition, such as dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), extract ether (EE), crude fiber (CF), and extract without nitrogen (ETN) content. The data obtained were used to determine the value of nutrient intake and digestibility. The result showed that nutrient intake was decreased at added tannins at 1.5% and 3% (P <0.05). In contrast, the addition of 3% tannins increased nutrient digestibility. It is concluded that Mahogany leaves could be added in merino feed with a level of tannins of 3%.
