Abstract

Sheep needs nutrient supply to optimize their performance. Ration nutrients especially energy and protein are the major factors affecting the productivity of sheep. One of the plants that has the potential to be used as a protein source for sheep is Bauhinia purpurea L. Previous study showed 15% (BpLM) in ration can be improved of (ADBWG) goat. The research aims to find out (DDMI), (DMD), and (ADBWG) sheep feed dietary consist of (BpLM). This study used 16 local sheep aged 14.4 ± 3.0 months and body weight 14.05 ± 1.51 kg. The ration consisted of 60% Pennisetum purpureum and 40% concentrate containing 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% (BpLM). The collected data were analyzed using (ANOVA) and (DMRT). The results showed that the ration contained 5%, 10% and 15% (BpLM) Bauhinia purpurea L. leaves meal in concentrate improve is sheep performance because it increases average daily body weight gain.
