Evaluasi Pemberian Ransum Komplit Mengandung Indigofera Terhadap Performa Domba Lepas Sapih di Balakosa Farm

Abstract

Fase lepas sapih merupakan tahap kritis dalam pertumbuhan domba, dimana keberhasilan penggemukan dipengaruhi oleh kualitas dan ketersediaan pakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pemberian ransum komplit indigofera terhadap performa domba lepas sapih. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 3 (tiga) perlakuan dan 4 (empat) kelompok. Perlakuan terdiri atas P0= ransum kontrol, P1= ransum komplit indigofera 10%, P2= ransum komplit indigofera 20%. Peubah yang diamati adalah konsumsi pakan dan performa domba yang meliputi pertambahan bobot badan harian (PBBH), efisiensi penggunaan pakan, dan income over feed cost (IOFC). Data dianalisis menggunakan analysis of variance (ANOVA) dan perlakuan yang berbeda nyata (P < 0,05) akan dilakukan uji lanjut dengan Uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi perlakuan ransum komplit indigofera 20% (P2) nyata lebih tinggi (P < 0,05) dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya. Nilai performa domba ketiga perlakuan tidak berbeda nyata (P > 0,05). Perlakuan ransum komplit indigofera 20% (P2) menghasilkan performa domba lepas sapih terbaik.

The weaning phase is a critical stage in the growth of sheep, where the success of fattening is influenced by the quality and availability of feed. This study aims to evaluate the provision of complete rations with indigofera on the performance of weaned sheep. The study used Randomized Group Design (RAK) with 3 (three) treatments and 4 (four) groups. Treatments consisted of P0 = control ration, P1 = complete ration with indigofera 10%, P2 = complete ration with indigofera 20%. The observed variables were feed consumption and sheep performance including daily body weight gain (PBBH), feed utilization efficiency, and income over feed cost (IOFC). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and treatments that differ significantly (P < 0.05) will be tested further with Duncan's test. The results showed that the consumption of complete ration treatment with indigofera 20% (P2) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than other treatments. Sheep performance values of the three treatments were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The complete ration treatment with indigofera 20% (P2) produced the best performance of weaned lambs.
