Abstract :
The research experiment was conducted at the
agricultural station on the campus of Svay Rieng
University and was carried out from April 11 to June 19,
2023 with the title “Effect of using king grass and water
hyacinth fed banana stem ensiled with rice bran or with
Yeast on growth performance of local goat”. This
experiment has three objectives: 1. Compare the feed
intake of local goat, 2. Compare the growth performance
of local goat, and 3. Compare the feed conversion ratio of
local goat. A total of 12 goats were selected and designed
in 2*2 factorial arrangement in Randomized Complete
Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The factors
were the energy source (ensiled banana stem with rice
bran or ensiled banana stem with yeast) and the protein
source (king grass or water hyacinth). The objectives of
the experiment are i) to compare the feed intake of goats,
ii) to compare the growth performance of goats, and iii) to
compare the feed conversion ratio of goats. The
treatments of the study are: T1: King Grass of
65%+Ensiled Banana Stem with Yeast of 35%, T2: King
Grass of 65%+Ensiled Banana Stem with rice bran of
35%, T3: Water Hyacinth of 65%+Ensiled Banana Stem
with Yeast of 35%, and T4: Water Hyacinth of
65%+Ensiled Banana Stem with rice bran of 35%. The
experiment period for 60 days, and all data were collected
daily for feed offer and feed residues. The goats were
weighed every 10 days from the beginning of the
experiment to the end of experiment. The findings of the
experiment were resulted that DM intake on the energy
sources were non-significant different for the ensiled
banana with rice bran compared with the ensiled banana
with yeast (P>0.05) while DM intake on the protein
sources were higher significant for king grass as
compared with water hyacinth (P<0.01). Growth rate and
feed conversion on the energy sources were slightly high
for the ensiled banana with yeast rather than the ensiled
banana with rice bran (P>0.05), and were slightly high
for king grass rather than water hyacinth (P>0.05). In
conclusion, when using the protein source of king grass
mixed with the energy source of the ensiled banana stem
with rice bran or with yeast, it was increased on DM
intake, growth rate and better improvement of feed
conversion of goats rather than using water hyacinth plus
ensiled banana stem with rice bran or with yeast. The
efficiency of protein utilization from then study is well
performance on using the king grass rater than water
hyacinth once mixed with either the ensiled banana stem
with rice bran or with yeast.
