Abstrak/Abstract |
A large range of agricultural by-products, such asonggok(tapioca by-product), palm kernel cake (PKC), and copra meal (CM), as well as forages and crop resources (legumes and cereal straws) are available forcattle diets in Indonesia and other Asian countries. However, most farmers formulate their rationsbased on the cheaper rather than nutritional principles, resulting in poor performance of the cattle. A good balance between energy and protein feeds in the ration is the key factor in achieving optimum performance. Thisin vitroexperiment was done to determine the best combination ratio oftwo protein supplements in fermented rice straw based diets onin vitrodigestibility and ruminal fermentation characteristics. |
