Abstract

Paitan (Tithonia diversifolia) and kelor (Moringa oleifera) leaves contain high crude protein, which can increase the protein content of the feed. This study aims to determine the role of pain leaf (Tithonia diversifolia) and kelor (Moringa oleifera) as a concentrate in vitro. Another feed ingredient used is rice bran. A completely randomized design with five treatments and five replications was applied in this study. The treatments were A (Tithonia diversifolia leaves without rice bran), B (Tithonia diversifolia leaves 75% + rice bran 25%), C (Tithonia diversifolia leaves 37.5% + Moringa oleifera leaves 37.5% + 25% rice bran), D (Moringa oleifera leaves 75% + rice bran 25%) and E (Moringa oleifera leaves without rice bran). Parameters observed were nutrient content, in vitro gas production and rumen fermentation products. The results showed that the crude protein content of treatments B, C and D was lower than A and E due to the use of rice bran which had a low crude protein content, but the addition of rice bran in the feed resulted in higher gas production (P<0.05). The combination of the use of rice bran and Moringa oleifera leaves (treatment D), resulted in the highest gas production up to 48 hours of incubation (P<0.05). The highest gas production from the fermentation of soluble (GPSF) and insoluble (GPNSF) fractions resulting from treatment D were 11.01 ml and 137.48 ml respectively. Anti-nutrients found in Tithonia diversifolia leaves make gas production lower than anti-nutrients found in Moringa oleifera leaves. 25% rice bran on feed could increase metabolizable energy (ME), organic matter digestibility (OMD), microbial protein (MP) and single-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. It can be concluded that the use of 25% rice bran in feed containing Tithonia diversifolia and Moringa oleifera can reduce the anti-nutritional effect.
