This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of concentrate supplement level for feed quality improvement on the performance of Bligon does. Twenty eight of 1.5-2 years old of Bligon does with an average initial body weight of 30.25±8.05 kg, feed supplement and roughages which was regularly offered to the goats, were used in this study. The does were divided into four treatments groups of feed supplementation. Treatment P1 was control, doe was givenroughages without concentrate supplementation, treatment P2 was roughages with 17% concentrate supplementation,treatment P3 was roughages with 35% concentrate supplementation and treatment P4 was roughages with 52%concentrate supplementation. The study was conducted for 8 months. Feed was given 3% of body weight on dry matterbase, while drinking water was given in sufficient. The data were consisted of feed intakes, average daily gain of does,feed conversion ratio and feed cost per gain. One way analysis of variance was used to analyze the data and continued by Duncans’ New Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for significant differences. The result showed that improvement of feed increased (P<0.05) feed intake, average daily gain, feed conversion and feed cost per gain of does. The average daily gain of does on P1; P2; P3; and P4 were 30.16; 11.11; 34.92 and 34.92 g/head/day respectivelly, while, feed conversion ratio were 8.79; 16.37; 5.53 and 7.97 respectively, feed cost per gain were Rp33.903,58; Rp86.691,35; Rp36.908,25 and Rp47.412,19. It is concluded that improving feed for does using concentrate supplementation increase the average daily gain on level of 35% and 52% concentrate supplementation, the best of feed conversion ratio and feed cost per gain of Bligon does respectively at the level of 35% and without concentrate supplementation |
