Nutritional Composition of Ruminant Forage Derived from Rice Crops (Oryza Sativa L.) that Applicated by C. odorata Compost

The study about Nutritional Composition Of Ruminant Forage Derived From Rice Crops
(Oryza Sativa L.) that Applicated By C.odorata Compost had been conducted in the District
Koto Tangah, Padang, West Sumatra began in June 2015 through October 2015. The study
aimed to get good quality forage and yield in the cultivation of two varieties rice crops that
applicated C.odorata compost. Varieties tested were Pandan Wangi and Cisokan. The
experiment was arranged in the split plot design. The main plot there were 2 levels cutting
rice forage, which was not cut (Po) and cut as high as 15 cm of the soil surface (P1). The
subplot was C.odorata compost (CC) combined with recommendation fertilizer dose (RFD)
consisting of 3 levels; B1. 5 Mg ha-1 CC + 100% RFD; B2. 7,5 Mg ha-1 CC + 75% RFD and
B3. 10 Mg ha-1 CC + 50% RFD in three replications. Data were analyzed in variance at 5%
significance level, and HSD test at 5% significance level. The parameters were ADF, NDF,
crude Protein, crude fiber, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, silicates, plant height, maximum
tillering, rice yield. The results showed that CC + RFD did not show different effects both on
the growth and rice yield. Production of the highest forage obtained from Pandan Wangi rice
crop reached 7,17 Mg ha-1. Crude protein as much as 9.83% and 13,99%, crude fiber
amounted to 18,31% and 20,15%, the rice yield as many as 6,29 Mg ha-1; 4,21 Mg ha-1 for
Pandan Wangi and Cisokan respectively.
