“…The total excretion of PD in TMR based on sorghum silage (ISS and LSS) was low due to the lower feed consumption than FNG. According to Rahayu et al [ 13 ], based on the results of this study, Bligon goats given TMR based on Napier grass fresh forage resulted in a higher nutrient feed intake than BMR or super-2 of sorghum silage. High feed intake positively correlated with increased total excretion of PD and vice versa.…”

“…The higher ADWG in FNG was in correlation with feed intake. Rahayu et al [ 13 ] reported that Bligon goats given TMR based on Napier grass fresh forage resulted in a higher nutrient intake than TMR based on BMR or super-2 sorghum silage. This significant variation in BW was affected by the variation in concentrate level and nutrient content in the TMR [ 7 ].…”

“…It was due to the intake and digestibility of the fermented feed. Rahayu et al [ 13 ] reported in a previous study that a Bligon goat given TMR based on Napier grass forage (Pennisetum purpureum) resulted in higher nutrient feed intake compared to TMR based on BMR or super-2 sorghum silage. Feed conversion showed how much feed was needed to add 1 kg of animal body weight, and a smaller feed conversion value meant that more feed was used efficiently.…”

“…The withered sorghum forage was added with molasses up to 4% of dry matter and mixed until the material was completely homogenous. The mixture was then fermented in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) drum silos under anaerobic conditions for at least 21 days [ 13 ]. The chemical composition of feedstuffs was summarized in Tables 1 and 2 for feed formulation (gm/kg of ration) and chemical composition (gm/kg DM) of TMR sorghum silage in this study.…”

Objectives: The goal of this research was to figure out the effect of the local sorghum as silage on the performance of Bligon goats. Microbial protein synthesis, digestible nutrients, and average daily weight gain (ADWG) were measured to evaluate the goats’ performance. Materials and Methods: The study was designed in a completely randomized design with a one-way pattern. Twelve female Bligon goats with 24.33 ± 2.83 kg (mean ± SEM) initial body weight were divided into three groups of total mixed ration (TMR) treatments. Group 1 received fresh Napier grass (FNG) as a control, group 2 received imported sorghum silage (ISS) of brown midrib resistance (BMR), and group 3 received local sorghum silage (LSS) of super-2. Analysis of variance was used to analyze the data on microbial protein synthesis and feed intake during the research. On the contrary, analysis of covariance was used to analyze ADWG with initial weight as a covariate. Results: Microbial protein synthesis, feed-intake, and ADWG of goats that received TMR based on silage of two varieties of sorghum, namely BMR (ISS) and super-2 (LSS), were lower (p < 0.05) than control. However, there was no significant difference between both TMR based on sorghum silages. ISS’s feed conversion was better than LSS (p < 0.05), and FNG was the best. Sorghum silage as a basal ration in TMR had lower microbial protein synthesis but higher total digestible nutrient content than fresh forage, such as Napier grass. The sorghum varieties did not affect the microbial protein synthesis, digestible nutrients, and ADWG of Bligon goats. However, ISS treatment had higher feed efficiency than LSS. Conclusion: The local sorghum (super-2) silage can be used as ruminant feed as well as imported sorghum (BMR) offered as TMR. However, regardless of the cultivar, TMR based on sorghum silage cannot replace TMR based on fresh Napier grass.

This study aimed to determine the effect of grass variety on intake, nutrient digestibility, and performance of thin-tailed sheep. The research was conducted in Suket Ijo Farm, Sanggrahan, Wedomartani, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Twelve female thin-tailed sheep with an average body weight of 15 kg and the age of 8 to 10 months were used in this study. The sheep were given the feed formulation based on dry matter (DM): (67%), water spinach straw (8%), and 25% of either Gamma Umami grass (P1), local Napier grass (P2), or dwarf Napier grass (P3). The variables observed were feed nutrient consumption, nutrient digestibility, and thin-tailed sheep performance. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the treatment feed had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the consumption of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude fiber (CF), dry matter digestibility (DMD), organic matter digestibility (OMD), crude protein digestibility (CPD), crude fiber digestibility (CFD), average daily gain (ADG), and ration conversion. However, it had no significant effect (P>0.05) on crude protein (CP) consumption and extract ether digestibility (EED). The highest ADG was in treatment P1, 105.46 g, with a ration conversion of 5.74. Hence, it was concluded that the diet containing Napier grass variety Gamma Umami showed higher feed nutrient digestibility and improved thin-tailed sheep’s performance.
