Profil Darah Kambing Peranakan Etawah Laktasi yang Mendapat Ransum dengan Berbagai Level Indigofera sp. Berbentuk Pellet

Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of level Indigofera sp. in the pellet ration on blood profile and physiological status of lactating etawa crossbred goat. Nine lactating goats with average body weight of 32.4 kg, were randomly divided into 3 treatments. The Rl contained pellet ration without Indigofera sp., R2 was pellet contained 20% Indigofera sp. and R3 was pellet contained 40% Indigofera sp. Each group consisted of 3 lactating goats. Drinking water provided ad libitum, while forage was given in the morning and afternoon. Variables measured were feed intake, physiological status and blood profile. This research was designed as block randomized design and data was analysis using ANOVA. The result showed that there were no significant effect of 40% Indigofera in the ration to blood profile, physiological status and feed consumption. The highest blood glucose concentration was in goat received pellet containing 20% Indigofera sp. in the ration and the highest blood urea concentration was in goat received containing 40% Indigofera sp. in the ration.
