Abd Rahman Mohd Yassin, . The effect of feeding oil palm and coffee by-products on the performance of goats in Malaysia. pp. 11-18. ISSN 0127-7952
Abstract
Twenty-two growing crossbred goats were divided into four treatment groups and reared stallfed. They were accessed to one of the following diets: 1 - Guinea grass (control); II - Guinea grass concentrate A containing 20 palm kernel cake given at 2 body weight; III - Guinea grass concentrate B Containing 20 coffee pulp given at 2 body weight and IV - Guinea grass concentrate B given at 3 body weight. Live weight body measurements and feed samples were taken at regular intervals. After 252 days all groups which were given concentrates had significant performance followed by groups II III and I. Average daily gains for groups I II III and IV were 28.2 73.8 61.5 and 88.5 g respectively while the corresponding feed efficiencies were 41.5 16.4 19.9 and 15.1. All animals consumed about 5 dry matter daily. Extra income from the use of concentrates was estimated at 190 - 330 over the control. The use of oil palm and coffee by-products as supplements showed tremendous potential. Comparisons with research results from other parts of the world were also discussed
