Abstract

Limited nutrient availability in forage-based diets commonly used by Madura cattle farmers restricts animal productivity, necessitating effective supplementation strategies. This study evaluated the effects of varying concentrate supplementation levels (0%, 40%, 50%, and 60%) on nutrient composition and rumen degradation of elephant grass-based rations using in vitro methods. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design (RBD) with four treatments and three replications, blocking based on rumen fluid collection time. The results showed that concentrate supplementation significantly (P<0.01) improved nutrient composition and rumen degradability. The highest dry matter degradability (DMD) and organic matter degradability (OMD) were observed in treatment T2 (60% concentrate and 40% elephant grass), with values of 54.15% and 55.53%, respectively, indicating enhanced nutrient digestibility and utilization. These findings emphasize the importance of balanced concentrate supplementation and offer practical implications for improving feed efficiency and productivity of Madura cattle under smallholder farming systems.
