Response to Feed Given on Biosynthesis of Product and Composition of Horse Milk (Equus caballus) in Prima Fit Farm Bogor

INDAH PERMATA SARI. Response to Feed Given on Biosynthesis of Product and Composition of Horse Milk (Equus caballus) in Prima Fit Farm Bogor. Supervised by ANITA SARDIANA TJAKRADIDJAJA and CECE SUMANTRI.

Dairy horses known as “wild horse milk” producer are generally kept extensively, so this resulted in less control of milk production and composition. Production and composition of milk are influenced by genetic and nutritional factors. A commercial farm has kept many horses with good genetic potential. However, the horse performances also depend on type and amount of feeds that are given. This study assessed the effect of feed given on milk product and composition. The experiment was conducted for three months. Feeds given were field grasses, wheat and Vital commercial pellet. Variables measured were feed and nutrient intakes, body weight, milk production and composition. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that genetic factor and feed intake affected milk production and composition. Imported race horses have a greater body weight than local race, so that their nutrient needs and the production and composition of milk are greater than the local horses.
