Performa Sapi Peranakan Ongole dan Silangan Lokal dengan Pakan Konsentrat Pasca Transportasi Jarak Dekat

Abstract

Peningkatan produktifitas sapi Peranakan Ongole (PO) dan sapi Silangan Lokal (SL) dapat dilakukan dengan manajemen pemberian pakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi performa sapi PO dan SL pasca transportasi jarak dekat. Penelitian ini menggunakan 4 ekor sapi PO jantan dan 4 ekor sapi SL jantan, umur I1-I2 (18-30 bulan). Rataan bobot awal sapi PO dan SL berturut-turut 285 ± 9,14 kg dan 285,5 ± 35,51 kg. Peubah yang diamati adalah kondisi mikroklimat lingkungan, konsumsi bahan kering, konsumsi protein kasar, konsumsi Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN), susut bobot, pertambahan bobot badan harian, konversi pakan, dan bobot akhir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan nilai THI selama proses pemeliharaan ternak mengalami stres ringan (THI = 76,96 ± 3,36). Proses transportasi jarak dekat menghasilkan susut bobot sapi PO dan sapi SL berturut-turut 2,15±1,3% dan -1,11±1,3% dengan waktu recovery selama 10 hari. Selanjutnya konsumsi protein kasar, TDN, susut bobot, PBBH, konversi, dan bobot akhir adalah sama, sedangkan konsumsi ransum dan BK untuk sapi PO nyata lebih tinggi dibandingkan sapi SL (P<0,05). Rataan konsumsi ransum pada sapi PO dan SL berturut-turut 15,79 ± 1,95 dan 12,4 ± 1,34 kg hari-1 dan konsumsi BK berturut-turut 6,9 ± 0,82 dan 5,81 ± 0,3 kg hari-1.

Productivity of Ongole Grade (PO) and Local Crossbreed (SL) cattle could be optimized by feeding management. This study aimed to examine the production performance of PO and SL cattle fed concentrate after short period of transportation. This study used 4 heads of PO cattle bull and 4 heads of SL cattle bull with an average age of I1-I2 (18-30 months). The average body weight of PO and SL cattle were 285 ± 9,14 kg dan 285,5 ± 35,51 kg respectively. The parameters observed comprised microclimate, intake of dry matter, crude protein, Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN), weight loss, average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion, and final weight. The results showed that cattle was on mild stress condition according to the THI value (THI = 76,96 ± 3,36). Short period of transportation result weight loss of PO and SL cattle were 2,15 ± 1,3% and -1,11 ± 1,3% with recovery time of 10 days. Whereas, crude protein intake, TDN, weight loss, ADG, feed conversion, and final weight for both treatments were similar. Furthermore, feed consumption and dry matter intake of PO bull was significantly higher than SL bull (P<0,05). Average feed consumption of PO and SL bull were 15,79 ± 1,95 and 12,4 ± 1,34 kg day-1 and DMI were 6,9 ± 0,82 and 5,81 ± 0,3 kg day-1.
