Feeding Corn Plant Waste and Field Grass Biscuit to
Thin Tail Sheep Consumption and Weight Gain
Firki, Y. Retnani, dan L. Herawati Corn
plant waste is one of alternative feed source that
has big potential to produce various low cost and useful feed product. One of
technology that can be used is heating and pressing technology of forage to
make feed biscuit form. Objective of this research was to discover the ability
of feeding corn waste biscuit as forage replacement on sheep consumption, daily
weight gain, and feed efficiency. This experiment used Completely Random Design
with using 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were R1 = (100%
field grass), R2 = (50% field grass + 50% corn leaf), R3 = (100% corn leaf), R4
= (50% corn leaf + 50% corn husk). The experiment was conducted for 6 weeks
with the adaptation periods for 1 week. The results showed that treatments did
not significantly affect on feed consumption, daily weight gain, and feed
efficiency. Consumption of dry matter on this research range from 72.12-119.61
g/day/head. Daily weight gainof sheep on this research range from
92.857-128.175 g/day/head, and feed efficiency range from 0.136-0.181. Corn
plant waste biscuit could be replace field grass as forage resource of sheep
feeding. Keywords: feed biscuit, corn plant waste, field grass, sheep
