Judul: Nitrogen Utilization in Sheep Offered Ration Containing Different Protein Source of Leucaena diversifolia, Acacia villosa or Calliandra CIllothyrsus at The Different Level of Nitrogen Intake.
Abstrak: Grass is the main component of ration fc.r small ruminant raised at the small scale of sheep farming. Energy content of grass is high but its protein content is too low to support optimum growth rate. Elephant grass as a sole feed may not meet the energy and protein requirement of sheep. Four experiments were designed to evaluate nitrogen utilization in sheep offered four rations containing different protein sources of Leucaena diversifolia. Acacia villosa, Calliandra calothyrsus or mixed pollard and soybean meal, with protein content of rations was about 10.2, 12.2, 13.2 and 14.2 % respectively. Sheep on the first, second, third and fourth experiment were expected to consume nitrogen at 7. II, 15 and 19 g N/day/head, respectively., Sheep were kept in individual metabolic cages for two periods of 14 days. The first and second seven days period was adaptation and total collection period, respectively. Treatments were allocated in a Completely Randomised Block Design. Synthesis of microbial protein and nitrogen retention were evaluated. Data was analysed using ANOVA. Means of treatments were compared by Duncan's double distance test.

Judul: Performa Domba yang diberi Rumput Brachiaria humidicola dan Legum Pohon (Leucaena leucocephala dan Gliricidia sepium) dengan Rasio yang Berbeda
Abstrak: This experiment was done to examine the addition effect of Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala leaves mixed with Brachiaria humidicola on performance of sheep at UP3J. Twenty male sheep with initial body weight 13.95±1.46 kg were used in this experiment. The experiment used completely randomized block design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were R1 (90% Brachiaria humidicola + 10% concentrate), R2 (80% Brachiaria humidicola + 10% legume + 10% concentrate ), R3 (70% Brachiaria humidicola + 20% legume + 10% concentrate), R4 (60% Brachiaria humidicola + 30% legume + 10% concentrate), and R5 (70% Brachiaria humidicola + 30% legume). Parameters observed in this experiment included feed consumption, daily body weight gain, feed efficiency, and Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC). Results showed that treatments improved protein consumption, but did not give significant effect on performance of sheep in UP3J. It is concluded that giving leaf of Brachiaria humidicola and legume (Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena luecocephala) at any level did not give any significant effect on sheep consumption, daily body weight gain, feed efficiency, and income over feed cost.
