This study aims to determine the effect of giving tofu waste in concentrate on the performance of male thin tailed sheep. This study used 12 weaned male thin tailed sheep with an average initial body weight of 10.02 ± 2.25 kg. The research method used was RAL (Completely Randomized Design) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The research treatments consisted of P0 (concentrate without tofu waste), P1 (10% tofu waste in concentrate), P2 (20% tofu waste in concentrate), P3 (30% tofu waste in concentrate). Parameters observed included feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion. The research data were analyzed using the SAS (Statistical Analysis System) program. The results showed the average value of feed consumption and the highest average body weight gain was found in P2, namely 936.86 g/head/day and 94.64 g/head/day different significantly (P<0.05) with other treatments, the highest feed conversion was found in treatment P0 (concentrate without tofu waste) which was 17.47 and the lowest average was found in treatment P2 (concentrate + 20% tofu waste) which was equal to 10,13. It was concluded that the best treatment in this study was P2 treatment (20% tofu waste in concentrate).Keywords: Concentrate, Male Sheep, Performance, Tofu waste.
