The effect of expired bread supplementation in local sheep rations on rumen fermentability and digestibility value in vitro

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of expired bread supplementation on sheep rations in digestibility and rumen fermentability in vitro. The study used a Compeletely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The first treatment P0 was a control, sheep fed with 100% basal concentrates. The second treatment P1, sheep fed with 95% basal concentrates plus 5% expired bread. The third treatment P2, sheep fed with 90% basal concentrates plus 10% expired bread. And the last treatment P3, sheep fed with 85% basal concentrates plus 15% expired bread. Data collected were rumen pH, concentration of NH3 (mM), digestibility of dry matter and organic matter (%). The result showed that feed treatments didn’t significantly affect (P>0.05) on rumen pH, concentration of NH3, digestibility of dry matter and organic matter. The average of rumen PH of treatment P0, P1, P2 and P3 respectively was 6.84; 6.86; 6.82 and 6.87. The average of concentration of NH3 of treatment P0, P1, P2 and P3 respectively was 16.17; 16.07; 13.52 and 16.62 mM. The average of dry matter digestibility of treatment P0, P1, P2 and P3 respectively was 51.76; 53.01; 52.16 and 54.71%. The average of organic matter digestibility of treatment P0, P1, P2 and P3 respectively was 53.16; 55.82; 52.24 and 57.59%. It was concluded that expired bread supplementation at the level of 15% can be used to replace basal concentrates in feed male local sheep.This study aims to determine the effect of expired bread supplementation on sheep rations in digestibility and rumen fermentability in vitro.
