Pengaruh penambahan daun pohon terhadap kadar VFA dan kecernaan secara in-vitro ransum berbasis ketela pohon

The purpose of this researchwasto findthe effect oftree leaves added into acassava biomass based ration on VFA concentration and in-vitro digestibility. This research used a randomized block design with 4 treatmentsand 3 groupsof replications. Feed treatment was composed by20% of cassava meal + 30% of cassava peel silage meal + 50% of leaf meal. P1was Manihot uttilissima leaf meal, P2was Gliricidia sepium leaf meal, P3was Moringa oleifera leaf meal and P4was Tectona grandis leaf meal. In-vitro incubation time was 48 hours in the syringe. The result showed that the value of gas production at hours12 hadsignificant differences(P 0.05). Theconclusion ofthis research was the addition of Manihot uttilissima leafmealand Moringa oleifera leaf meal was the best addition in cassava-based feedof that reviewedby in-vitro. Keywords: Cassava, in-vitro, gas production, leaf meal
