Abstract:
This study aims to determine the effect of cassava dregs addition in the ration on the performance of Javanese thin-tailed sheep. This study was conducted for 2 months at the Berkah Cempe farm, Baturetno District, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. A total of 12 Javanese thin-tailed sheep were used in this study with a completely randomized design of one-way pattern consisting of 3 treatments and 4 replications. Treatment P1=60% king grass + 40% concentrate + 0% cassava dregs, P2=60% king grass + 40% concentrate + 10% cassava dregs, P3=60% king grass + 40% concentrate + 20% cassava dregs. The ration of feed intake was prepared by determining 12% crude protein for the fattening program based on dry matter. The observation variables were feed intake, average daily gain, and feed conversion. The results showed the highest average of feed intake at P3 = 1613.29 ± 0.30 g / head / day, the highest average daily gain at P3=121.41 ± 0.12 g / head / day and the lowest average feed conversion at P3=7.51 ± 0.76. The conclusion of this study was that the cassava dregs addition up to 20% in Javanese thin-tailed sheep feed has a significant effect on feed intake, average daily gain, and feed conversion.
