Abstract

The research was managed to assess organic basic multi-nutrient block supplementation on the performance of Kacang goat that fed by total mixed ratio in feedlot system. This research was carried out for 3 months, used 15 goats with the average body weight of 13.40 ± 1.97 kg. The study was arranged in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 5 replications. Goats were divided and fed with one of the treatments as follows: P0: only forage, according to the farmer-s way; P1: total mixed ratio; P2: total mixed ratio + 15g multinutrient block/head/day. Variables of initial body weight, final body weight, body weight gain, and feed consumption were observed. The study indicated that goats of P1 and P2 had a significantly higher final body weight in average of 29,32 and 32,38 kg (P < 0.05) compared with P0 (27,45 kg), respectively. Body weight gain of goat P2 was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than P1 Kacang goat. This study suggests that treatment P2 resulted in the highest body weight gain.
