Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of corncob instead of elephant grass in the diet of cattle on the performance and carcass profile of the Bali Cattle. Total of 15% and 30% of elephant grass in the diet was replaced with a fermented corncob. This study used a Randomized Complete Design, which consists of 3 treatments, each treatment consisted of 4 replicates. The study used 12 male Bali Cattle with an initial average body weight of 226 kg. The cattle were allocated randomly into 3 treatments where cattle received the control treatment R0 (ration with 60% of elephant grass + 10% gliricidia + 10% calliandra + 20% pollard), R1 ( ration with 45% of elephant grass + 15% corncob + 10% gliricidia + 10% calliandra+ 20% pollard) and R2 (ration with 30% of elephant grass + 30% corncob + 10% gliricidia + 10% calliandra + 20% pollard). The results of this study showed that daily weight gain of R0 was 0.61 kg, R1 was 0.61 kg and R2 was 0.62 kg. They were not significantly different (P> 0.05), among the treatments the R0 carcass percentage was 50.29%, R1 was 51.57% and R2 was 51.70%. They were not significantly different (P> 0.05) among the treatments.
