Abstract

This study was aimed to determine the effect of giving Indigofera zollingeriana as a substitute for concentrate in the diet of Etawa crossbreed goats during growth fed by field grass on fiber fraction digestiility. This study used an experimental method with a Randomized Block Design with 3 treatments and 4 replications. The dietary treatments consisted of (P1) field grass 60% + Indigofera zollingeriana 10% + concentrate 30%, (P2) field grass 60% + Indigofera zollingeriana 20% + concentrate 20%, (P3) field grass 60% + Indigofera zollingeriana 30% + 10% concentrate. The observed variables were the digestibility of the fiber fractions consisting of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), cellulose and hemicellulose. The results showed that the replacement of concentrate with I. zollingeriana did not have a significant effect (P>0.05) on the digestibility of NDF, ADF, cellulose and hemicellulose. The results showed that the substitution of concentrate with I. zollingeriana up to 30% in the diet had a significantly different effect (P>0.05) on the digestibility of the fiber fraction. The digestibility range of NDF, ADF, cellulose, and hemicellulose were 68.15%-71.55%, 50.59%-56.06%, 72.38%-75.41% and 91.15%-92.57%, respectively. This study concluded that the use of 30% Indigofera zollingeriana as a substitute for concentrate in the diet of the Etawa goat showed the highest digestibility value of the fiber fractions. It’s composition of the ration was 60% field grass + 30% Indigofera zollingeriana + 10% concentrate (P3 ration).
