Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, and digestibility of the Setaria grass invitro at different types and dosages of fertilizers. This research was conducted in the experimental garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Warmadewa University, which is located at Jalan Terompong Number 24 Tanjung Bungkak Denpasar Bali from May 29, 2020 to July 18, 2020. The analysis of dry matter and organic matter digestibility and in vitro digestibility was carried out at the Animal Nutrition and Forage Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Udayana University from July to August 2020.
This study used a randomized block design (RAK) with a 2 x 4 factorial pattern. Factor A was 2 types of manure, and factor B had 4 levels of fertilizer. Factor A, namely: S = manure from cow, K = manure from goat. The dosages used are: D0 = without fertilizer (0 ton/ha), D1 = 10 ton/ha, D2 = 20 ton/ha, and D3 = 30 ton/ha. The variables observed were: dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, and in vitro digestibility of Setaria grass grown at different types and doses of manure.
The results of research and statistical analysis, it was found that there was no interaction between the type and dose of fertilizer for all observed variables. Type of Fertilizer and Fertilizer Dosage partially (single) gave a very significant difference (P <0.01) on the digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, and In Vitro Digestibility of Setaria grass.
