Growth response and vital statistics of fat and thin tailed sheep with soybean husk supplements in Malang District

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the pattern of body weight gain and vital statistical measures of fat sheep and thin tails and to determine the response of local sheep production to the provision of soybean meal/skin. The method used in this research is a case study and experimental. The sampling technique is done by a simple random method on vital statistical measures performed by measuring the chest (using a measuring tape) and body length (using a measuring stick). The tabulated data were first analyzed for homogeneity and normality, which were then tested by an independent sample t-test using SPSS. As for the growth response, the material used was 16 male FTS and TTS aged under one year. Daily body weight growth between Fat tail Sheep (FTS) and Thin Tail Sheep (TTS) showed very significant differences (P <0.01). Statistical analysis showed that body length between FTS and TTS had no difference (P> 0.05), chest circumference between FTS, and TTS; there was no difference (P> 0.05). Adding bodyweight FTS and TTS were respectively 93.29 ± 26.73 g / head / day and 78.18 ± 27.01 g / head / day. The FTS and TTS bodies’ length was 49.81 ± 4.06 cm and 49.34 ± 4.80 cm, respectively, while the chest circumference between FTS and TTS was 63.61 ± 3.98 cm and 62, respectively. 17 ±4.10 cm. The daily body weight gain of rams fed with additional soybean husk feed statistically results obtained significant differences (P <0.05), the results of the study showed that the Daily Weight Gain (DWG) FTS male respectively P0, P1, P2, and P3 groups respectively namely: 105.07 ± 3.58; 118.08 ± 2.65; 140.38 ± 4.40; 155.01 ± 4.01 g / head/day. The results showed that the feed efficiency of male rams in each group P0, P1, P2, and P3 were: 7.84 ± 0.27; 8.25 ±0.18; 9.27 ± 0.29; and 9.75 ± 0.32%. While for TTS also obtained a significant difference (P <0.05) DWG at P0, P1, P2, P3 is 101.02 ± 2.18; 116.9 ± 2.88; 127.82 ± 3.20; 140.31 ± 2.41 g / head / day, so that the efficiency of feed obtained for TTS is P0, P1, P2, P3 respectively 6 ± 0.19; 7.14 ± 0.11; 8.87 ± 0.22; 9.85 ± 0.12. It was concluded that the provision of soybean meal had a significant positive effect on growth and vital statistics, both for sheep with fat tails and thin tails.

Correlation Between Morphometric Traits and Body Weight in Fat-Tailed Sheep

“…These results are lower than the measurements in the study by [10], where they found an average chest circumference of 72.80 cm for 60 Fat-Tailed Sheep aged 1 to 2 years. Conversely, the findings are higher than the results from [11], which reported an average chest circumference of 63 ± 3.98 cm for Fat-Tailed Sheep.…”

“…Sesuai dengan pendapat Mudawamah et al (2023), bahwa bangsa ternak yang berbeda akan mempunyai ciri fenotipe yang berbeda termasuk komponen darah. Selain itu, perbedaan antara studi-studi ini mungkin disebabkan oleh perbedaan breed dan nutrisi (Mudawamah et al, 2022;Yenilmez et al, 2021;Nasich et al, 2021).…”

“…Garut and Sapudi sheep are local sheep in Indonesia that are kept as meat producers and play an essential role in the local community, so their population must be increased (Heriyadi, 2005;Mirella et al, 2022;Mudawamah et al, 2022;Nasich et al,).…”
