Pengaruh Pemberian Pelet Mengandung Tepung Daun Indigofera terhadap Produktivitas Kambing Boerka Periode Bunting dan Laktasi

ABSTRACT. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian pelet mengandung tepung daun Indigofera terhadap produktivitas kambing Boerka periode bunting dan laktasi. Ternak yang digunakan adalah kambing Boerka bunting bulan keempat sebanyak 60 ekor dengan variasi paritas ke 2 dan 3 dan rataan bobot badan saat dikawinkan adalah 32,63±5,29 kg. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 3 perlakuan pakan dengan 20 kali ulangan: rumput lapang + Pelet komersil (R1); rumput lapang + pelet Indigofera 10% (R2); rumput lapang + pelet Indigofera 20% (R3). Parameter yang diukur adalah bobot badan anak lahir dan bobot badan anak prasapih (umur 3 bulan). Data dianalisis menggunakan Analysis of Variance (ANOVA ) satu arah dan dilanjutkan dengan Uji Jarak Berganda Duncan. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa pemberian tepung daun Indigofera 10% memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap bobot lahir anak kambing betina dan tidak berbeda nyata terhadap parameter lainnya namun cenderung menurun pada pemberian tepung daun Indigofera 20%. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan tepung daun Indigofera dalam pelet sampai 20% memberikan pengaruh yang tidak nyata terhadap produktivitas kambing Boerka periode bunting dan laktasi.  (Effect of dietary pellet containing indigofera leaf meal on productivity of Boerka goat at pregnancy and lactating period) ABSTRAK. The research was aimed to investigate effect of dietary pellet containing Indigofera leaf meal on productivity of Boerka goat at pregnancy and lactating period. A total of 60 heads of Boerka goat who were pregnant at 4th, parity of 2nd and 3rd and average of body weight when mated were 32,63±5,29 kg. Research used randomized block design with 3 feed treatments and 20 replicated: native grass + commercial pellet (R1); native grass + Indigofera’s pellet 10% (R2); native grass + Indigofera’s pellet 20%. The parameter measured were body weight of lamb born and body weight of lamb at pre-weaning (3 month aged). Data were analyzed used Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) one way dan continued with Multiple’s Range Test of Duncan. The result of statistical analysis showed that dietary Indigofera leaf meal 10% gave significant effect on birth weight of female lamb and non significant effect on other parameters but tends to decreased in dietary Indigofera leaf meal 20%. It could be conclude that utilization of Indigofera leaf meal until 20% in pellet gave not significant effect on productivity of Boerka goat at pregnancy and lactating period.
