Abstract

The high fiber content in forage causes nutrients challenging to digest. Pellet technology breaks down the cell wall and increases the soluble fiber fraction. This study aims to determine the effect of using water spinach on the durability and hardness of pellets. The study was designed using a completely randomized design with four treatments consisting of T1: control; T2: 20% water spinach; T3: 40% water spinach and T4: 60% water spinach. Data were analyzed of variance and followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that the use of 60% water spinach significantly (P<0.05) decreased the durability and hardness of pellets. In conclusion, 30% of water spinach can be used as a source of forage fiber in pellets with the same quality as the control.
