Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate consumption of nitrogen, excretion of nitrogen, digested nitrogen, and nitrogen balance in thin-tailed sheep with the addition of soybean meal (SBM) and Artocarpus heterophyllus leaves in the basal feed of Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott. Total of twelve female thin-tailed sheep, age 12-16 months, with a 20 kg average weight were applied in this study. The animal’s adaptation period to the environment was carried out for 14 days and continued with a total collection period of 14 days. Animals were kept individual cages equipped with feces and urine containers under the cage. Separate samples of sheep feces and urine were taken were analyzed. The contents of dry matter and nitrogen were determined for feed samples, feed residue, feces and urine in this study. Then, nitrogen intake, faecal nitrogen, digested nitrogen, urine nitrogen, and nitrogen balance were measured. The nitrogen intake, nitrogen excretion, digested nitrogen and nitrogen balance presented significant differences (P<0,05). In conclusion, the difference in feeding a large portion of A. heterophyllus leaves indicated a positive nitrogen balance value, which increased the female thin-tailed sheep’s protein requirements.
