Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with soybean meal (which is known to have high nutritional value) and jackfruit leaves (which are abundant resources) on nutrient intake and digestibility in sheep. For that purpose, 12 female thin-tailed sheep (age = 1.5 years old; body weight = 18±2 kg) were divided into three treatment groups. The odot grass (P purpureum cv. Mott) basal diet was formulated as the control group. The other treatment groups were fed a basal diet supplemented with jackfruit leaves (T1) and soybean meal (SBM) (T2), respectively. The ration of the three treatments was iso energy. The experimental animals received the experimental diets for 6 weeks, of which the last 2 weeks were the total collection period. This study used a completely randomized design with three treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of 5000 g odot grass basal diet (control), 4000 g odot grass and 700 g jackfruit leaves (T1), and 4000 g odot grass and SBM 75 g (T2). The crude protein and total digestible nutrient (TDN) contents of each treatment were 7.68 and 58.08%, 8.81 and 58.20%, and 10.44 and 58.78%, respectively. The variables observed were nutrient intake and digestibility. The results showed that dry matter intake in the control group, T1, and T2 were 52.69±3.27, 53.88±1.00, and 54.40±3.77 g/kgBW/day, respectively, while the dry matter digestibility in those groups was 69.27±5.06, 72.22±4.61, and 74.76±0.96, respectively. There was no significant difference in nutrient intake and digestibility among treatments. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of soybean meal and jackfruit leaves had no significant effect on nutrient intake and digestibility (P>0.05).
