- Abstract
Jengkol (Archidendron jiringa) peel is potential crude fiber source for ruminant feed. Jengkol peel had higher fiber content (33.07-35.28%) than Native grass (29.65%), Pennisetum purpureum (31.29%), Brachiaria decumbens (30.55%), Pennisetum purpupoides (32.23%), and almost similar with Brachiaria humidicola (34.18%). Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the effect of substitution of native grass with jengkol peel on rumen fermentation characteristics in sheep. Randomized block design with three treatments was used in this research. Treatments were substituted for jengkol peel 0, 15, 22.5% with five replications. Data were analysed using ANOVA and the differences among the means of the treatments were examined using DMRT. This research used 15 sheep with bodyweight ±15-27 kg; jengkol peel and concentrate were mixed as pellets. The result showed that native grass substitution with jengkol peel until 22.5% had no significant effect on pH (6.06-6.24) and NH3 value (13.39-18.35%), but total VFA (68.90-103.23%) decreased with substitution of jengkol peel 15-22.5%. In conclusion, jengkol peel can’t be used as a substitution native grass at 15-22.5% because can reduce energy supply for sheep.
