Abstrak

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mineral deficiencies treatment by feeding goats with palm
sugar block (PSB). Changes of blood mineral content and microbial count in goat rumen were analyzed
parameters in this study. This study was done for 3 months. The livestock used consisted of 24 local female
goats, aged ± 1 year old with a body weight of ± 18 kg. The enclosure used for this study was an individual
encolusre with a special dining area for PSB placement. Forage used was corn straw, additional PSB was
given constantly as much as 300 g/head/day and drinking water is given ad libitum. The treatment ration
given were regulated as follows R0 = Corn ad libitum + 0 gram UGB and R1 = Ad libitum corn straw + 300
g PSB. The variables observed were blood mineral contents (Ca, Mg, P, Na, K, and Cl) and bacterial count
in goat rumen. The data obtained were analyzed using t-test. We concluded that the administration of corn
straw and PSB could increase blood mineral content and increase the bacterial count inside goat rumen.
Keywords: goat, corn straw, PSB, mineral, bacterial
