Pengaruh Pemberian Wafer Pakan Fungsional Hasil Biokonversi Terhadap Tingkah Laku Makan Kambing Kacang Betina

This study aims to determine the eating behavior of female Kacang goats fed functional feed wafers from bioconversion. This research has been carried out in CV. Prima Breed, Tondo Sub-district, Mantikulore District, Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province, which took place from August 2021 to October 2021. This study used 15 female Peanut Goats aged + 10 months with a body weight range between 10.57 to 16.63 kg. This study used analysis of variance (Test F) with 3 treatments which were repeated 5 times. The treatments that were tried were; P0 = Wafers without the use of Lactobacillus casei (Lc), P1 = Use of 1 ml Lactobacillus casei (Lc)/kg wafers, and P2 = Use of 1.5 ml Lactobacillus casei (Lc)/kgwafers andgrass Panicum sarmentosum given ad-libitum to livestock. The variables observed in the study were duration of eating, duration of rumination, length of rest and frequency of eating. The results showed that the provision of functional feed wafers from bioconversion had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the behavior of female Peanut Goats.
