Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Indigofera sp. fresh and hay on the growth of chest circumference, chest width, and body length in male Sapera goats. The study was conducted in vivo on male Sapera goats with P0 treatment, namely basal rations consisting of native grass (NG) and concentrate (C) with a ratio of 50%: 50%. P1 is 50% NG: 30% Indigofera sp. Fresh (IF): 20% C. P2 is 50% NG: 30% Indigofera sp. Hay (IH): 20% C. Feed is given as much as 4% of body weight based on dry materials. The research materials used are 18 male Sapera goats aged 6-8 months, drugs, native grass, commercial concentrates, Indigofera sp. Fresh and Indigofera sp. Hay. The tools used are analytical scales, spring scales, small shovels, metline, measuring stick, spuit, and stationery. A research methodology is an experimental study using a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments repeated 6 times. The parameters measured are chest circumference, chest width, and body length in male Sapera goats. The results showed that male Sapera goats were fed Indigofera sp.-based feed. It has not significant on chest circumference, chest width, and body length (P > 0.05). The average chest circumference of male Sapera goats feed P0, P1 and P2 are 71.60±5.09, 70.27±3.06, and 70.17±2.50. The average width of the chest of male Sapera goats fed P0, P1 and P2 are 15.03±1.09, 14.77±0.73, and 14.70±0.92. The average body length of male Sapera goats fed P0, P1 and P2 are 53.40±3.96, 49.50±2.82, and 52.00±2.91. The conclusion of this study is Indigofera sp.-based feed. It does not decrease productivity in male Sapera goats and can replace concentrates as a source of protein.
