Kandungan Proksimat Protein Kasar Pelet Lamtoro dan Turi Sebagai Pakan Kambing

Abstract

Research aimed at determining the crude protein content of Lamtoro and Turi pellets as goat feed was carried out in September-November 2023. This research used a completely randomized design where the pellets were made using 4 treatments, namely K0: Pellets with 100%  lamtoro leaves as raw material and 0% turi, K1: Pellets made from 70% lamtoro leaves and 30% ​​turi, K2: Pellets made from 50% lamtoro leaves and 50% leaves turi, and K3: Pellets made from 30% ​​lamtoro leaves and 70% turi. Pellet making was carried out at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Nahdlatul Wathan University, Mataram and pellet samples were analyzed proximately (FAO, 2011) at the Laboratory of Nutrition and Animal Food Science, University of Mataram. In each treatment, 3 repetitions were carried out for each measurement. Primary data from the research were analyzed descriptively by calculating the mean ± standard deviation. The results showed that the Crude Protein Content in the 4 consecutive treatments was K0 of 18.60 ± 0.66%, K1 of 16.85 ± 0.23%, K3 of 16.82 ± 0.09%, K3 of 16.77 ± 0.09%. The pellet with the lowest crude protein content is K3 pellet with a Crude Protein value of 16.77% and the pellet with the highest crude protein content is K0 pellet with 18.60%. The results of the research illustrate that the crude protein content of the pellets produced with these 4 treatments meets the crude protein standards for feed for ruminants and can be recommended as goat feed. There is a need for further research regarding the digestibility of pellets made from lamtoro and turi as well as economic analysis.
