ABSTRACTObjective. The potential use of palm kernel cake was evaluated as a replacement for soybean and corn meal in cattle feed, by investigating their intake, digestibility levels and the intake behaviour of cattle fed diets containing different levels of palm kernel cake concentrate. Materials and methods. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the Federal University of Bahia, between August and October 2009. Five crossbred Holstein × Zebu adults, were used. A 5 × 5 Latin square experimental design was used. The animals were fed Tifton-85 Bermudagrass, which made up 65% of their diet, plus one of five different levels of palm kernel cake concentrate (0, 7, 14, 21 and 28%). Results. A linear decrease in dry matter (kg/day) was observed due to the lower palatability and higher fiber content of the palm kernel cake. Neutral detergent fiber intake by the animals showed a quadratic behavior. The coefficients of fractional digestibilities of the analyzed feed, did not differ due to the inclusion of palm kernel cake. The ingestive behavior of the animals was not influenced by the inclusion of palm kernel cake in the diet. Conclusions. Palm kernel cake can be used as an alternative feed supplement in ruminant production systems to reduce feed costs without changes in the studied variables.

Context Palm-kernel cake (PKC) is a by-product widely evaluated as a feed additive in several species of ruminant animals. However, no information of its use in buffaloes is observed. Thus, considering the characteristics of PKC and that buffaloes are able to digest greater amounts of fibre than are other animals, it is thought that PKC can be used as a supplement for lactating buffaloes in pasture. Aims The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of concentrate supplementation and the inclusion of PKC instead of conventional concentrate ingredients on the production and composition of milk, intake and nutrient digestibility of lactating buffaloes in pasture during the dry season. Methods Five crossbred buffaloes with average bodyweight of 641.45 ± 45.87 kg were used and distributed in a 5 × 5 Latin square-design experiment. The treatments consisted in one treatment with mineral salt supplementation (cows fed just forage; MSS control group), and four other treatments in which the cows grazed and received 3 kg/day of concentrated supplementation. The four treatments with concentrated supplementation had different inclusion levels of PKC as a supplement, which were 0%, 30.24%, 66.38% and 90.62% of dry matter (DM) replacing corn and soybean meal. A contrast between the treatment with mineral salt supplementation (MSS control group) versus the four treatments supplemented with concentrate was analysed. In addition, to analyse the effect of inclusion of PKC in the concentrate supplement, the linear and quadratic effects were analysed by decomposing the sum of squares of each level of inclusion of PKC. Key results There was no difference (P > 0.05) in pasture DM intake among the supplemented animals and the control-group animals (MSS). The supplemented animals (regardless of the level of inclusion of PKC) had higher (P < 0.05) fat-corrected milk production and a higher percentage of fat and lactose in the milk than did the MSS control-group animals. The intake of the supplement, crude protein and total digestible nutrients showed a decreasing linear effect (P < 0.05) with the inclusion of PKC. The daily milk production showed a decreasing linear effect (P < 0.05) with the inclusion of PKC in the concentrate. Conclusions Concentrate supplementation for lactating buffaloes in pasture increases the amount of fat in the milk and the production of energy-corrected milk. The inclusion of PKC in concentrate supplement, replacing corn and soybean meal, decreases supplement intake and milk production. Implications The data suggested that PKC reduced milk solids when replacing conventional concentrate ingredients; however, PKC supplements stimulated milk yield when compared with mineral salt supplementation (MSS control group). Therefore, if the inclusion of PKC reduces feeding costs, it is an economic source of supplement to promote milk production.

Abstract. Arief, Rudimansyah, Sowmen S, Rizqan RP. 2020. Milk production and quality of Etawa crossbreed dairy goat that given Tithonia diversifolia, corn waste and concentrate based palm kernel cake. Biodiversitas 21: 4004-4009. The research aims to evaluate the production and quality of goat milk of Etawa crossbreed dairy goat (ECDG) which is fed by Tithonia diversifolia (T), corn waste (CW), and concentrate-based palm kernel cake (CBP),. The experimental design used in this study was a completely random design (CRD) with four times treatment rations and five times replications. There are five treatments used in this research which are; treatment A used 60 % T + 40 % tofu-dregs; B used 60 % T + 20% tofu-dregs + 20% CBP; C used 45 % T + 15% CW + 20% tofu-dregs + 20% CBP; D used 30 % T + 30% CW + 20% tofu-dregs + 20% CBP. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Varian (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for further tests. The parameters measured were milk production and milk quality, which covers dry matter, water content, protein, fat, solid non-fat, and lactose. The result showed that the treatment gave no significant effect (P> 0.05) of milk production, dry matter, protein, fat, solid non-fat, and lactose. The study concluded that the use of T. diversifolia, corn-waste, and CBP could maintain milk production quality.

A 6-month experiment with nine dietary treatments was conducted to determine amounts of S plus Mo supplements required to maintain normal hepatic concentrations of Cu and Mo and to prevent chronic Cu toxicity in lambs fed palm kernel cake (PKC) diets. All diets consisted of PKC supplemented with minerals and vitamins, and with appropriate amounts per kg DM of S (level 0 or level 1 = 1 g) as sodium sulfate and/or Mo (level 0; level 1 = 4 mg; level 2 = 8 mg; level 3 = 16 mg; level 4 = 32 mg) as ammonium molybdate to form treatments S0Mo1, S0Mo2, S0Mo3, S0Mo4, S1Mo0, S1Mo1, S1Mo2, S1Mo3 and S1Mo4.There was no effect (P>0·05) of dietary treatments on the growth performance of the lambs. The dietary supplement of 1 g S plus 8 mg Mo per kg dietary DM (treatment S1Mo2) prevented accumulation of Cu in the liver without elevation of the concentration of Mo (P>0·05). The treatments S0Mo1, S0Mo2 and S0Mo3 increased (P < 0·05) hepatic Cu concentrations from 376 μg/g DM to between 1090 and 1294 μg/g DM. Also, the treatments S1Mo3 and S1Mo4 resulted in higher (P < 0·05) hepatic Mo concentrations compared with the treatment S1Mo0. It was concluded that the dietary supplement of 1 g S plus 8 mg Mo/kg PKC DM added to the PKC used is sufficient to maintain normal hepatic concentrations of Cu and Mo and to prevent chronic Cu toxicity in sheep fed diets containing any amount of PKC.
