Profil Hematologi dan Status Metabolit Darah Domba Garut yang Diberi Pakan Limbah Tauge pada Pagi atau Sore Hari (BLOOD HAEMATOLOGICAL PROFILE AND METABOLITE STATUS OF GARUT LAMB FED DIETS MUNG BEAN SPROUT WASTE IN THE MORNING OR EVENING)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diet containing mung bean sprout waste (MBSW)and feeding timeson the hematological profiles and metabolite status of Garut lambs. Experimentaldesign used in this study was a factorial randomized block design with two factors of diet and two feedingtimes. Two factors of diets were 60% concentrate 1+40% natural grass and 60% concentrate 2+40% MBSW.Feeding times were in the morning (6:00-7:00 am) or the evening (5:00-6:00 pm). The animals were rearedin individual cages and fed with 5% DM/kg body weight/day. The hematological profiles of the goat wereexamined and analyzed with Anova. The results showed the treatment of rations significant effect onblood glucose, whereas feeding time very significant to glucose, erythrocytes and hemoglobin, and theinteraction of both treatments significantly affect hemoglobin, hematocrit and glucose level. Meanwhile,leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio (N/L), urea-N and blood cholesterol were not affected by the treatments and their interactions. But overall the number of erythrocytes 8.72-12.78x106/mm3, hemoglobin 7.6-10.02 g/dL, leukocytes 8.94-12.27x103/mm3, neutrophils 33.00-52.20%,lymphocytes 38.80-52.40%, N/L 0.78-1.66, glucose 41.94-54.24 mg/dl, urea-N 29.91-35.87 mg/dL and bloodcholesterol 24.57-30.28 mg/dL. These results suggest that diets containing 40% MBSWtogether with amorning or an evening feeding time did not cause disturbances in haematological profile and blood metabolitestatus of garut lamb.
