Effect of Differences Breeds on Performance and Nutrient Digestibility in Etawa Cross Breed and Sapera Goat

This research aims to determine the effect of differences between Etawa Cross Breed and Sapera goat breeds on digestibility and performance. The material used was 30 male goats consisting of 15 Etawa Cross Breed goats and 15 Sapera goats aged 8-12 months with an initial weight of 18.1± 2.75 kg. The feed is 60% forage (pakcong grass) and 40% pollard bran. This study used an independent student t-test research design to compare the parameters of the two breeds of Etawa crossbreed and Sapera goats; treatment consisted of P1 = Etawa crossbreed goats and P2 = Sapera goats. Feed adaptation is carried out for 14 days and collection for seven days. Feed samples, food waste, and feces were taken during the collection period. Based on the research results, the differences between the Etawa Cross Breed and Sapera goat breeds did not have a significant effect on the digestibility of EE, CF, DBWG and feed conversion. Meanwhile, DM, OM, CP, and TDN had a significant effect on digestibility
