Effects of Melastoma malabatricum extract on nutrient digestibility of local goat infected with gastro intestinal parasites concise and informative
Main Article Content
Abstract
The effects of Melastoma malabatricum extract were evaluated on intake and nutrient digestibility of goat infected with gastro intestinal parasites. Before the experiment all goats were dewormed with albendazole to remove gastro intestinal parasites infestation previously, then goats were naturally infected with parasites by allowing the experimental goats to graze on infected pasture under oil palm from 08.00-16.00 daily for 15 days and followed infected orally with 1000 infective larvae. After the infestation, 20 goats were stratified based on live weight and confined individually in wooden pen. Goats divided in 4 treatments namely T0: No extract T1: Aquaoes extract Melastoma malabatricum 250mg/kg BW/2 week, T2: Aquaoes extract Melastoma malabatricum 250mg/kg BW/ 3 week and T3: single dose of Ivermectine (control positive). All experimental goats received 1% feed supplementation (50% Palm Kernel Cake and 50 % rice bran), forage and water were given ad libitum. Result indicated that treatment had sigificantly effect (P <0.05) on dry matter and crude fiber intake, the dry matter intake (gDM/kgLW0.75) was 44.93-49.55 or 2.69-2.91% per live weight. Feed intake of OM, Crude Protein, and Ether Extract did not differ (P>0.05) among the treatments. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) among treatments in dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, extract ether digestibility. The organic matter digestibility was significantly higher in goat received single dose of Ivermectine compare with the others.
