| This experiment aimed to study effect of levels of molasses in oil palm frond silage on dry matter intake, digestibility coefficient, nitrogen balance and rumen fermentation characteristics in goats. Four Thai Native x Anglo-Nubian 50% crossbred male goat, 2.7-2.8 years old with average body weight (BW) of 35.1+1.6 kg, were arranged in 4x4 Latin Square design. The goats were fed with oil palm frond silage mixed with molasses 0, 2, 4 and 6 % ad libitum and supplemented with concentrate at 0.5 % of BW on dry matter basis. The results showed that there were no significant differences (P>0.05) among treatments regarding nutrient intake and digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent... |
