Abstract

Optimal beef cattle productivity could be achieved by feeding management. This study aims to determine the performance of local breed beef cattle by given commercial concentrate and silage treatments. There were 9 animal in this study aged between 1.5-2.5 th. Parameters observed during this study were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed efficiency, feed conversion, and IOFC. The study used completely randomized design model. Data was tested by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results showed no significant was effect at the consumption of dry matter intake. There were significant (P<0.05) effect of treatment on IOFC value, daily gain, feed efficiency, feed conversion. The cattle feed on concentrate produced better value for the parameters observed than feed on complete rations in the form silage.
