Tujuan dari peneli>an ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi dampak suplementasi protein
dan kontaminasi padang rumput dengan nematoda gastrointes>nal pada mi>gasi infeksi
parasit pada domba penggembalaan. Peneli> berhipotesis bahwa >dak akan ada perbedaan
antara suplementasi protein dan padang rumput yang baru ditanam dalam mengevaluasi
pertumbuhan domba dan parameter kesehatan yang terkait dengan parasi>sme. Selanjutnya,
peneli> mempertanyakan apakah akan ada interaksi antara suplementasi protein dan jenis
padang rumput. Sebanyak 192, domba berumur 60 hari (28,3 ± 5,1 kg) secara acak ditugaskan
ke salah satu dari empat perlakuan:
1). padang rumput baru tanpa suplementasi
2) padang penggembalaan baru dengan suplementasi
3) penggembalaan mapan tanpa suplementasi, dan
4) didirikan padang penggembalaan dengan suplementasi dan digembalakan selama
112 hari.
Domba diberi suplemen dengan laju 1% berat badan/hari. Domba yang diberi
suplemen memiliki berat badan dan rata-rata pertambahan harian (ADG) yang lebih besar jika
dibandingkan dengan domba yang >dak diberi suplemen. prak>k manajemen alterna>f untuk

manajemen sistem, termasuk namun >dak terbatas pada suplementasi protein dan renovasi
padang rumput.
Hasil
• Domba yang merumput di padang rumput baru memiliki ADG yang lebih besar
dibandingkan dengan domba yang merumput di padang rumput yang sudah ada.
Selain itu, domba yang diberi suplemen juga menunjukkan bobot badan dan hasil ADG
yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan domba yang >dak diberi suplemen.
• Selama percobaan penggembalaan selama 2 tahun, 32 dan 34 domba dirawat karena
infeksi parasit masing-masing pada tahun 2018 dan 2019.
• Untuk nematoda gastrointes>nal yang ditemukan dan terkoleksi di abomasum
sebanyak ±58.000 dan jenis nematoda yang ditemukan adalah H. contortus,
Ostertagia, dan T. axel.
• Jaringan perut domba sampel yang merumput di padang rumput baru secara

antara domba yang merumput pada baru atau penggembalaan yang sudah mapan.
Juga >dak ada perbedaan yang terdeteksi pada bagian histologis antara domba yang

Kesimpulan
Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa suplementasi protein dari tumbuhan sumber turunan
