ABSTRACT
The fermented sugarcane shoots is intended as a source of energy and fermented Titonia as a forage protein source in goat nut rations. Avocado waste aims to enrich the ration with vitamins and minerals in order to optimize rumen bioprocess. The aim of this study was to obtain a good performance of Kacang goats through appropriate ration formulation based on fermented forage (sugarcane shoots and Titonia) with avocado waste. This formulation is expected to minimize the use of concentrate in the ration. This study used 16 male peanut goats aged 1 year which were divided into 4 groups based on body weight. The concentrate consists of rice bran, corn, palm kernel cake, salt, and minerals. The design used was a randomized block design with 4 ration treatments and 4 weight groups of goats as replicates, namely: (T0 = Sugarcane Tops 35% + Titonia 5% + 0% Avocadodo Waste + 60% Concentrate, T1 = Sugarcane Tops 35% + Titonia 9.5% + Avocado 0.5% + Concentrate 55%, T2 = Sugarcane Tops 35% + Titonia 14% + Avocado 1% + Concentrate 50%, P3 = Sugarcane Tops 35% + Titonia 18.5% + Avocado 1.5% + Concentrate 45%). The parameters measured included blood metabolites (cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)). The results showed that the P3 treatment gave the best blood metabolites. The cholesterol value was 88.70 mg/dl which normally ranged between 64, 60, and 136.40 mg/dl, HDL with a value of 53.36 (mg/dl) which normally ranges from 22.5–55.67 (mg/dl), and LDL with a value of 29.17 (mg/dl) which normally ranges from 77.32 (mg/dl).
