The availability of forage for livestock is currently limited; this occurs because many forage planting areas have been converted into residential and industrial areas, so animal feed cannot be provided optimally, as well as the influence of the season, which affects the availability of forage. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to look for alternative feed sources that come from swamp f…
One of the swamp forages that can be used as feed for ruminants, especially during the dry season, is Hymenachne acutigluma through silage processing. Hymenachne acutigluma has high crude fiber, so it is difficult for livestock to digest; therefore, it needs to be combined with types of legumes that have high protein, one of which is Indigofera leaves. This research aims to determine the fiber …
Feed is one of the main factors in the success of livestock farming. The availability of feed, especially forage, is greatly determined by land use. However, currently, the limited land area due to land conversion has resulted in insufficient sustainable forage production for animal feed. Therefore, to overcome this problem, an innovation is carried out in utilizing swamp forage by using silage…
This purpose of this research was to determine the effect use indigofera leaves on Kumpai tembaga silage to crude protein, crude fiber and crude fat content. This research was conducted from August to October 2023 in the Animal Feed Nutrition Laboratory, Animal Husbandry Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. This research was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design…
This study aims to determine the effect of adding Indigofera leaf legumes on dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, and total VFA in vitro. The study was conducted in two stages: the first stage involved a 21 day fermentation, and the second stage was analysis of the digestibility of Hymenachne acutigulma silage using the in vitro method for dry matter digestibility analysis, o…
