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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
