| Two experiments were conducted to determine the utilization of pineapple waste as roughage sourcein goats. In experiment 1, eight Thai Native×Anglo-Nubian 50% crossbred male goats, 2 years old, with averagebody weight (BW) of 37±2.33 kg, were used in 4×4 replicate Latin square design. The goat was offered 4 sources of roughage:plicatulum hay (T1), pineapple waste (T2), plicatulum hay and pineapple waste at the ratio of 1:10 w/w (T3) and plicatulum hay and pineapple waste at the ratio of 1:20 w/w (T4). All goats were supplemented with concentrate at 0.50%of BW on dry matter. The results showed that the apparent digestibility coefficient of the dry matter, organic matter, neutral detergent fiber and total digestible nutrient (TDN) of goats fed T2 and T4... |
