Abstract


The objective of this experiment was to know how much pH, ammonia (NH3) and volatile fatty acid total (TVFA) concentration in rumen liquid, daily live weight gain (DLWG) and feed consumption increase, production and water content in feces due to local male sheep given feed supplement of UMMB, MFS and MFS No molasses. Experimental design used Double Latin square design 4x4, and then if the feed treatments are signi cantly different, it would be tested by Duncan’s Multiple Range test. Parameters measurement were consist of pH, NH3, TVFA, DLWG, feed consumption, production and water content of feces. The results indicated that pH, NH3, TVFA, feed consumption and production of feces were not signi cantly different on P>0.05. Whereas, DLWG/head/day was signi cantly different due to the feed treatments, the values of T1, T2, T3 and T4 were 49.41, 67.26, 111.94 and 88.10 g/head/day respectively. In addition, the water content in feces of male sheep also had a signi cant difference on P<0.05, the values were 7.42, 7.72, 8.84 and 7.81%.
