Performa Anak Domba Prolifik dengan Pemberian Milk Replacer yang Disuplementasi Minyak Biji Bunga Matahari dan Minyak Ikan Lemuru

Abstract

One of problems in Indonesian sheep farm is weaning ability that is very low in ewe sheep. Sunflower seed oil and Sardinella fish oil contain essential unsaturated fatty acids that very useful to orphan lamb. This research was aimed to increase performance of prolific lambs supplemented with different kind of oils. This experiment used a Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were: P0 (cow’s fresh milk), P1 (P0+chicken yolk + 4% sunflower seed oil), P2 (P0+chicken yolk+ 4% Sardinella fish oil), P3 (P0+chicken yolk+2% sunflower seed oil+2% of Sardinella fish oil). The result showed that there were no significant different kind of oils on total dry mater consumptions (g day-1), total crude protein consumptions (g day-1), and total energy consumptions (kal g-1), but it significantly affected total fat consumptions (g day-1), weaning body weight (kg), and body weight gain (g day-1). Performance of prolific lambs that is supplemented Sardinella fish oils equals to performance of prolific lambs without supplementation Sardinella fish oils.
