ABSTRACT
An experiment was carried
out to investigate the effects of oxalic acid administration on
feed intake and nutrient digestibility in goats. Four female cross
bred (Boer × local) goats (average body weight of 46.3 kg) were
randomly assigned to four experimental diets including oxalic acid
administration at levels of 0, 2.25, 4.50 and 6.75 g/animal/d in
a 4×4 Latin Square design. Oxalic acid diluted with water was administered
orally via syringe to experimental goats once daily for four experimental
periods. Each experimental period was lasted 21 d in length, comprising
14 d of adaptation to the experimental diet followed by 7 d of data
collection. All the animals were individually fed with Napier grass
ad libitum supplemented with 300 g (fresh basis) pelleted compound
feed per goat per day throughout the study. Feed composition, feed
intake, nutrient intake and nutrient digestibility were determined.
Intakes of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM),
crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF)
and metabolisable energy tended to linearly decrease with the increasing
rate of oxalic acid administration, with the value in the 6.75 g
oxalic acid/animal/d treatment being significantly (p<0.05)
lower than the control (0 g oxalic acid/animal/d) treatment. The
oxalic acid administration had no effect on apparent digestibilities
of DM,
OM,
CP
and NDF. The experiment demonstrated that
oxalic acid administration may influence in the DM and
nutrient intakes, but not influence on DM and nutrient digestibilities
in goats.
Keywords: Feed intake;
goats; nutrient digestibility; oxalic acid
ABSTRAK
Penyelidikan ini telah
dijalankan untuk mengkaji kesan pemberian asid oksalik ke atas pengambilan
makanan dan kebolehhadaman nutrien dalam kambing. Empat baka kacukan
kambing betina (Boer × tempatan) (berat badan purata 46.3 kg) secara
rawak telah diperuntukkan kepada empat uji kaji diet termasuk pemberian
asid oksalik pada peringkat 0, 2.25, 4.50 dan 6.75 g/haiwan/hari
dalam reka bentuk segi empat sama Latin 4 × 4. Asid oksalik yang
dicairkan dengan air diberi secara oral melalui picagari untuk kambing
uji kaji sekali sehari untuk tempoh empat uji kaji. Setiap tempoh
uji kaji telah berlangsung selama 21 hari; 14 hari untuk penyesuaian
diet uji kaji diikuti dengan 7 hari pengumpulan data. Semua haiwan
secara individu telah diberi makan rumput Napier secara ad libitum ditambah dengan sebatian pelet 300 g (segar)
setiap hari sepanjang kajian ini. Pengambilan komposisi, pengambilan
makanan, pengambilan nutrien serta kebolehhadaman nutrien telah
ditentukan. Pengambilan bahan kering (DM), bahan organik (OM),
protein kasar (CP), gentian detergen neutral (NDF)
dan tenaga boleh dimetabolis cenderung untuk mengurangkan secara
linear kadar peningkatan asid oksalik, dengan nilai rawatan asid/haiwan/hari
6.75 g secara bererti (p<0.05) lebih rendah berbanding
kawalan (0 g asid/haiwan/hari). Pemberian asid oksalik tidak mempunyai
kesan yang jelas ke atas kebolehhadaman DM, OM,
CP
dan NDF.
Kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa pemberian asid oksalik boleh mempengaruhi
pengambilan DM dan nutrien, tetapi tidak mempengaruhi DM dan
kebolehhadaman nutrien dalam kambing.
Kata kunci: Asid; kambing; kebolehhadaman nutrien; pengambilan makanan
