| Summary: | The purpose of this studies was to determine the effect of complete feed
based on local feed toward carcass and Bligon goat meat quality. Eight months
old of Bligon goat with initial body weight of 13.10 ± 0.79 kg were used in this
study. The treatment control diet with conventional feed (R0), R1 one week
fermented complete feed (R1) and two weeks fermented complete feed (R2). The
composition of complete feed was 20% gliricida leaves, 20% corn straw, 3% corn
husk, 6% cassava, 3% teak leaves, 12% banana stems, 6% pollard, 3% rice
bran, 0.29% of minerals, 1.20% molasses, 0.01% Biofit® and 25.50% water. The
data was consisted of slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage,
physical meat quality (color, pH, water holding capacity, cooking loss and
tenderness value) and chemical quality of meat (protein, fat and water contents).
One way completely randomized design was used to analysis the effect of feed
treatment and continued by Duncan�s new Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for
significant differences. The results showed that slaughter weight, carcass weight
and carcass percentage were not significantly differs amongst treatments. The
pH value and tenderness were also not significantly differs. Meta colour of R0
treatment was higher (P<0.05) than those of R1 and R2. Cooking loss for R0 was
lower (P< 0.05) than R1 and R2 while the water holding capacity of R0 was
higher (P < 0.05) than R2. Water content was not significantly affected by feed
treatments. The protein content of R0 was higher (P< 0.05) than R1 and R2 while
the fat content of R0 was higher R2. It is concluded that complete feed offered to
Bligon goats produce a similar quality of the slaughter weight, carcass weight,
carcass percentage, moisture content, pH value and tenderness meat. Two
weeks fermented complete feed can produce lower meat fat content.
