Tuen A.A., . Effect of partially replacing commercial concentrate with sago pith meal on dry matter intake and digestion by goats. pp. 137-142. ISSN 0126-8643
Abstract
The effect of replacing a commercial concentrate diet with 0 15 45 and 60 percent sago pith meal on the intake and digestion of dry matter by goats was studied using a 5x5 Latin design. Ad libitum intake declined from 3.1 to 2.5 percent of liveweight (773-614 g/d) as the percentage of sago in the diet increased from 0 to 60 percent but digestibility was not affected (82.1-83.3 percent). Rumen fluid pH (6.4-6.7) and ammonia concentration (208-265 mg/l) were not significantly affected by dietary treatment. The results indicated that poor growth and feed/gain ratio by goats consuming high sago diet were due to the reduced feed intake and probably nutrient imbalances. It was concluded that with grass and urea supplementation sago pith meal could replace up to 45 percent of the commercial concentrate in the diet of adult goats without severely affecting feed intake and growth rate
