Pemberian Nanokalsium pada Kambing Peranakan Etawah Laktasi terhadap Neraca Kalsium

Abstract

Nanotechnology was developed began 21st century and was used in industry. Nanoparticle is one of model nanotechnology product, like nanocalcium. Nanocalcium supplementation in animal model growing rat could improve the bone density. Quality and quantity of Ca in the lactating goat is important to defend milk production. This research was aimed to evaluate effect of utilization nanocalcium on Etawah grade lactation goat. Ten Etawah grade goat early lactation (35 kg ± 0.74) were randomize grouped into 2 treatments diet, as control (normal shape calcium) and nanocalcium (N). Variables measured were normal physiology condition, feed and calcium intake, blood calcium, milk calcium, milk production, and milk quality. All data were compared by T – test. The result variables measured showed that there were not significant different between control and nanocalcium dose 0.13% treatment in all parameters except milk production. Nanocalcium treatment showed here significant effect to milk production and 6.76% higher than control treatment.
