The purpose of this study was to determine the effect ofsupplemented mixed silage of sorghum-Clitoriaternatea with different levels of concentrate containing ZnSO4 and Zn-Cu Isoleusinate on rumen fermentation of kacang goats. Twelve buck kacang goats aged 12-14 months with initial body weight ranged 11-19 kg andthe average was 14,40 kg while 14,93% coefficient of variation was used in this reseach. Methode used was experiment methode with block randomized design as research design consist of four treatments and three replication. The treatmenten were T1 = mixed silage of sorghum-Clitoriaternatea providing, T1, T2 and T3 was T1 supplemen by concentrate with level of 10, 20 and 30 % containing of 150 mg ZnSO4 and 2% Zn-Cu Isoleusinat respectively. Parameter measured was rumen pH value, NH3 and total of VFA concentration. The data obtained was analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and followed by Least Significant Different test. The results of statistical analysis showed that supplementation with various levels of concentrates containing 150 mg ZnSO4 and 2% Zn-Cu Isoleucine had no significant effect (P> 0.05) on rumen pH and NH3 concentration, while significantly efect (P <0.05) on VFA totalt. It can be concluded that supplementation with various concentrates containing ZnSO4 and Zn-Cu Isoleucicate produced relatively the same pH and NH3 and VFA tended to increase, with the best concentration of concentrate supplementation at 30%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
