Abstract

The research was conducted at the Mosampora farmer group, Toaya Village, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The study aimed to determine the effect of fermented corncob feed on body weight gain and BCS in Donggala cattle raised in smallholder farms in Central Sulawesi. Environmental conditions during the study obtained house temperatures ranging from 30-330C. Twelve cows local Donggala cattle (estimated age was 24-36 months) were used. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with corn cobs treatment of 28% (T1), 30.5% (T2), and 31% (T3) with four replications. Feed was given twice a day at 08.00 am and 04.00 pm. The use of fermented corncob feed was proven to increase the daily weight gain of cattle by 0.75 ± 0.02 kg/head/day. Treatment of cornmeal in the ration had a significant effect (P < 0.05) to increase the body weight of local cattle. The results of the study show that for BCS treatment T3 with an average increase of 50% and T2 35% compared to T1. The BCS’s increase in intensive and semi-intensive maintenance is due to an improvement in the feed ration formula, which is calculated and adjusted to the cattle needs.
