Abstract :

The objective of this study was to evaluate the eff ect of substitution of Napier Grass (NG) with fermented oil palm fronds (FOPFs) in rations on nutrient digestibility of goats. Th is research was carried out using a randomized block design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Th e following treatment were performed: A=40% Napier grass (NG)+0% fermented oil palm fronds (FOPFs)+60% concentrate; B=20% NG+20% FOPFs+60% concentrate; C=0% NG+40% FOPFs+60% concentrate; D=20% NG+20% FOPFs+60% concentrate plus minerals P, S and Mg and E=0% NG + 40% FOPFs+60% concentrate plus minerals P, S and Mg. Th e data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and diff erences between treatment means were tested by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Th e observed parameters were nutrients digestibility of goat. Th e results of the study concluded that substitution of Napier grass with FOPFs (the treatment E, i.e., 0% NG+40% FOPFs+60% concentrate plus minerals P, S and Mg) gave the best results because it produces the highest nutrients digestibility.
