Abstract:
This study aims to determine the best processing methods of
palm leaves that can improve nutrient and digestibility as ruminant feed. An
in vitro study was conducted from June, 15th 2012 until September, 20nd
2012. Palm leaf samples were analyzed using Proximate and Van Soest method in
Laboratory of Ruminant Nutrition of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, University
Andalas, Padang. This study is an experimental study that uses a completely
randomized design with 5 (five) treatment and 4 (four) replications. Treatment
consists of: A = control (no treatment), B = physical processing (steam), C
= chemical processing (ammoniation), D = biological treatment (ensilage) and
E = combination of physical-chemical properties (steam-ammoniation). Data were
analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Differences between treatments
were tested by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that
treatment of C = chemical processing palm leaf (ammoniation) provides nutrients
and better digestibility than some other palm leaf processing methods with its
nutritional value was as follow: dry matter (41.51%), organic matter (86.56%),
crude protein (14.65%), NDF (53.22%), ADF (40.76%), cellulose (19.67%), hemicellulose
(12.46%), lignin (9, 91%). In vitro digestibility were as follow: dry
matter (36.57%), organic matter (43.88%), crude protein (47.24%), NDF (32.65%),
ADF (23.70%), cellulose (30.30%), hemicellulose (51.94%). Rumen fluid characteristics:
pH (7.10), VFA (135.55 mM) and NH3-N (58.72 mg/100 ml).
