Abstract

The experiments aimed to investigate the potential of durian peel as roughage source on goat performance. There were two treatments such as fermented durian peel and fresh grass (Brachiaria decumbens). Twelve crossbreed Thai Native–Anglo-Nubian goats (50%) at 5 to 7 months of age and 20 ± 1.0 of body weight (BW) were assigned to a Student t-test. All of the goats were fed 2% BW of concentrate diet. Evaluated treatments were fermented discarded durian peel and grass as roughage source. The study shows that the concentrated feed in this experiment has a protein level of 16.97%, and the fermented durian peel has a protein level of 16.01%. The grass had a low protein level of 6.12%. The dry matter intake (DMI) of goat that ingested fermented durian peel (1920.40 g/h/d) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than goat ingested fresh grass (1355.60 g/h/d). The body weight change of goat that ingested fermented durian peel (8.92 kg) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than ingested fresh grass (5.33 kg). The growth rate of goat that ingested fermented durian peel (108.14 g/h/d) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than ingested fresh grass (61.80 g/h/d).


This study showed the profit in goat that ingested fermented durian peel was significantly (P<0.05) higher than ingested fresh grass and the group was able to reduce feed cost 45 %. Therefore, fermented discarded durian peel could be constitute roughage feed source for feeding goats without a negative impact.
