Optimalisasi produksi anak dan susu kambing peranakan etawah dengan superovulasi dan suplementasi seng

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meengetahui bagaimana pengaruh superovulasi dan suplementasi seng pada produktivitas induk dalam menghasilkan anak dan produksi susu kambing PE.

Thirty six etawah-grade does (BW range from 20.4 to 44.2 kg and age ranged from 2.5 to 7 years) were used to study the effects of superovulation and zinc supplementation on milk and kids yields. The experimental does were assigned into a randomize block design with a 2x3 factorial arrangement. The first factor was PMSG (pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin) injection with 2 levels (0 IU/kg BW [nonsuperovulation - NSO] and 15 IU/kg BW [Superovulation - SO]).
