The Effect of Fermented Oil Palm Fronds in Diet on Body Weight Gain and Meat Quality of Goat

Abstract

The aims of study were to evaluate the use of fermented of oil palm fronds (FOPF) on body weight gain and meat quality of goat. This experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design with 3 treatments i.e. R1 (grass 0%: FOPF 100%), R2 (grass 50%: FOPF 50%) and R3 (grass 100%: FOPF 0%) and 5 replications. The parameters of the study were feed intake, average daily gain (ADG), weight and percentage of carcass and meat quality. The results indicated that feed intake and meat quality of goat was not affected by treatment, but the average daily gain, carcass weight, and percentage of carcass, was affected by the differences of percentage of FOPF in the pellet complete feed. The best ration was in the R1 ration (grass 0%: FOPF 100%) that significantly different (P<0.05) from the other rations. The feed intake tended to be higher in goat fed R1 (895.87 g/d) compared to those in goat with the R2 (854.38 g/d) and R3 (851.53 g/d). The average daily gain and carcass weight were higher in goat fed R1 ration compared to those in goat fed R2 and R3. Consequently, the carcass percentage in R1 was higher than those in R2 and R3. The carcass percentage was ranged from 38.41-41.38%. The Ribeye area was higher in goat fed R1 (9.73 cm 2 ) than R2 (8.34 cm 2 ) and R3 (7.76 cm 2 ). In this study, the protein content of goat meat was ranged from 19.06 to 20.71%, lipid content was ranged from 0.703 to 1.106% and water content was range from 72.45% to 74.12%, in which were not different among the treatments. It can be concluded that the use of FOPF in a complete feed could improve performance and meat quality of goat.

“…The water content in this study was lower than the report of Musnandar et al [23] and Ngadiyono et al [24], but it was relatively the same as the report of Adiwinarti et al [16,18]. The water component in the tendon of mammalian after rigor mortis could reach 75% [20].…”

“…Forage feed is generally high in fiber and low in energy, causing a low of the fat carcass content, but it increases protein and water content in meat [22]. The meat protein of this study was relatively the same as the report of Musnandar et al [23] and Ngadiyono et al [4], but lower than the report of Adiwinarti et al [16,18]. The differences between the reports above illustrate that the different types of feed, age, growth phase, and breed of goat influence the meat protein content produced.…”

“…Livestock that consumed high-energy feed contained more fat than livestock that consumed low-energy feed [19]. The fat content of meat in the study was higher than the report of Adiwinarti et al [16,18] and the report of Musnandar et al [23]. This difference illustrated that the giving of complete silage to goats contributed to the increase in meat fat content.…”

Integrated Farming Model of Small Ruminants in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra - Indonesia

“…Sheep-oil palm is more worthy than the goat-palm based on eligibility criteria being measured. In Deli Serdang Regency the farmers tended to prefer keep sheep from goats because goats are more susceptible to use of Fermented Palm Oil Fronds (FPOF) in a complete feed could improve performance and meat quality of goat (Musnandar et al., 2011). The availability of the land area of 234 ha in Tanjung Morawa was able to accommodate a total of 3,276 heads, while in the Bangun Purba with an area of 180 ha can accommodate as many as 2,520 small ruminants.…”
