Abstract

The effects of supplementation with different protein sources on intake, digestibility and semen characteristics of Donggala bulls fed corn stover and rice bran were assessed. Four Donggala bulls were used, with initial average weight 425 ± 5.9 kg. The experiment consisted of 4 experimental periods, according to a 4x4 Latin square design. There were 4 dietary treatments include (1) corn stover (CS) ad libitum plus rice bran (RB) (0.5% body weight (W)/day (CSRB) (2) CSRB plus gliricidia (0.5% W/day) (CSRBG) (3) CSRB plus palm kernel meal (PKM, 0.5% W/day) (CSRBPKM) (4) CSRB plus copra meal (CM, 0.5%W/day) (CSRBCM). Bulls were randomly allocated to a different treatment after each period. In each period consisted of 14 and 7 days for adaptation and measurement period, respectively. Dry matter intake (DMI), dry matter digestibility (DMD) and semen characteristics were measured during 7 day each collection period. TDMI, DMD and some semen characteristics were significantly affected (P < 0.05) by different protein supplementation. CM supplementation resulted in the highest increase (P < 0.05) in TDMI, DMD, semen volume, spermatozoa concentration and motility of Donggala bulls. However, supplementation with different supplement source did not affect significantly (P > 0.05) semen colour, consistency, pH, mass movement, sperm viability, mortality and abnormality. It was concluded that inclusion CM as source of protein in addition with energy source can increase feed intake, digestibility and semen quality of Donggala bull fed low quality forage.
