Product fermentation and gas production in vitro of feed content from Moringa oleifera, Lamm and Paraserianthes falcataria leaves

Abstract

This study aims to determine the best composition Moringa oleifera, Lam (MOL) and Paraserianthes falcataria (PFL) leaves supplementation in the feed to produce fermentation process and low CH4 gas production. Concentrate feed is composed of MOL, PFL, plus coconut cake (CM), and solid cassava waste (O). The study was conducted with a factorial experiment, arranged in a randomized complete block design (RBD). The first factor is 4 types of concentrate: A, B, C and D. The second factor is the proportion of concentrates A, B, C, D and maize stover (Zea mays) (M). as follows: P1, P2 and P3. The usage of concentrate feed (MOL 30% : PFL 10% : coconut cake 45% : solid cassava waste 15%) with the proportion of concentrate 50% : forage 50% was be able to produce normal fermentation process with indicated DM degradation 66.4%, OM degradation 70.41%, gas production 94.8 ml, microbial biomass 46 mg, pH 6.67, NH3 concentration 7.48 - 8.29 mg/100 ml rumen fluid and proportion VFA (C2:C3:C4 = 65:26:9) and the lowest CH4 gas production (< 1% 24-hour incubation). In the future studies are in-vivo testing of the usage of MOL 30% : PFL 10% in the concentrate feed
