Results of Feed Chemistry Laboratory Analysis, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Nusa Cendana University (2019);
T1=45% Natural grass + 20% L. leucocephala + 25% corn flour + 10% bran pollard;
T2=45% S. bicolor (L.) Moench + 20% L. leucocephala + corn flour 25% + 10% bran pollard;
T3=45 % P. purpureum+ 20% L. leucocephala + 25% corn flour + 10% bran pollard; DM=Dry matter; OM=Organic matter; CP=Crude protein; CF=Crudefiber; EE=Extract ether; NFE=Nitrogen-free extract; TDN=Total digestible nutrients; GE=Gross energy; ME=Metabolism energy.
In accordance with the equation Hartadiet al. [8]. L. leucocephala=Leucaena leucocephala, S. bicolor=Sorghum bicolor, P. purpureum=Pennisetum purpureum
