Abstract

Forages and green fodder are the primary feed source for ruminants of goat, cattle, buffaloes in West Sumatra. Forages compose various wild plant species collected from different lands, but the livestock will select and consume the palatable plant types. The objective of the present study was to offer the animal nutrition students project-based learning (PjBL) to gain their experience in the diversity of plant species typically provided and consumed by goats raised by traditional farms. Enrolled students visited and interviewed goat farm owners, then collected forage samples for botanical identification and laboratory analysis. Data were analyzed and presented in a scientific paper. There were about 45-46 kinds of vegetation used for feeding goats in Payakumbuh. They composed about 31-43% grasses, 37-42% broadleaves, 9% legumes, 2-11% tuber leaves, and 7-9% tree leaves. Farm owners offered edible and nutritious plant species according to the preference of their livestock. There was a wide variety of plant species utilized as green fodder feed for goats in Payakumbuh. In conclusion, the students experienced that farm owners offered palatable and nutritious plant species according to the preference of their livestock
