| dc.description.abstract | This research aim were to evaluate and compare dry matter, organic matter, crude fiber, crude fat, and crude protein digestibilities of I. zollingeriana and Leucaena leucocephala as pellet complete ration in New Zealand White male rabbits. Twenty rabbits of 4 months of ages, (1807± 255,87gram/head) were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments, i.e: R0 (Comercial diet), R1 ( Ration containing 30% Leucaena leucocephala), R2 ( Ration containing 20% Leucaena leucocephala + 10% I. zollingeriana), R3 ( Ration containing 10% Leucaena leucocephala+ 20% I. zollingeriana), R4 ( Ration containing 30% I. zollingeriana). The diets and water were offered ad libitum to the rabbits. Data from Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) were analyzed for ANOVA and contras orthogonal test . The result showed that treatments did not significantly affect intake of organic matter and crude fiber, but significantly affected intake of crude protein and crude fat. The treatments did not significantly affect digestibility of dry matter, crude fiber, crude protein and organic matter digestibility, but significantly affected crude fat digestibility. Digestibility of crude fat was 90,97%, 81,85 %, 75,38%, 84,97 % and 79,02% respectively for R0, R1, R2, R3 and R4. It is concluded that the substitution of Leucaena leucocephala with I. zollingeriana in rabbit diets did not affect dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and crude fiber digestibility | en |
