Urea-ammonia treatment of straws in the tropics involves mixing 1.0 kg of air dry straw with 1.0 kg of a 40 g/kg urea solution and storing under plastic for at least 4 weeks (Schiere and Ibrahim, 1989). The economics of treatment is dependent on the cost of urea. Treatment cost would reduce, if on-farm-produced urine, e.g. cow urine, could be used as a source of urea. However cow urine is dilute and may contain only 10 g/kg urea or less (Owen, 1993). The present study therefore investigated varying concentrations of urea solution for treating wheat straw at a tropical temperature.

The experiment is aimed to evaluate the different of rumen fermentation product and in-vitro digestibility of Calliandra calothyrsus with red and white flower. The different means is analized with t-test (unpairing t-test with equal replicate) and replicate ten times each. Variables observed are pH, NH3, VFA parsial and total, dry matter and organic digestibility in-vitro. Results of the experiment showed that pH value, NH3 concentration and VFA partial and total on Calliandra calothyrsus with red flower tend to lower compared with white one but statistically not significant different. Dry matter and organic digestibility in-vitro of Calliandra calothyrsus with red flower is significantly lower than white one. It could be concluded that rumen fermentation product and dry matter and organic matter digestibility in-vitro of Calliandra calothyrsus with red flower is better than white one.Keywords: Calliandra calothyrsus, ammonia, vollatile fatty acid, in-vitro digestibility
