PENGARUH FORMULASI COMPLETE FEED TERHADAP KINERJA TERNAK DOMBA EKOR TIPIS

The objectives of the study was to determine sheep performance fed with fermented cacao pod husk complete feed. Fifteen Thin Tailed sheep aged at 1 to 1.5 years were used in this study with 3 feed treatments and water were offered ad libitum. The first treatment (K) was a control, sheep fed with forages (fiber source) + concentrate, NF was given a complete feed of cocoa pod husk (fiber source) + concentrate without fermentation and F was given complete feed of cocoa pod husk (fiber source) + fermented concentrate with ratio of fiber sources and the concentrate was 40%: 60%. Data consisted of nutrient complete feed quality, nutrient intakes, nutrient digestibility, average daily gain, feed conversion, feed cost per gain and income over feed cost (IOFC). The results showed that feed treatments have significant effects on nutrient intakes and digestibility (P
