The effect of giving a combination of Tabut and ammoniated citronella waste on the physiological and hematological responses of lactating Etawa crossbreed goats

Abstract

Abstract This research used a combination of Tabut and citronella waste in Etawa crossbreed goats (PE). The goats used in the research were divided into 5 treatments and 3 groups. The subjects were 15 female Etawa crossbreed. The grouping was done based on lactation period. The parameters observed were physiological profile (respiratory rate, heart rate, rectal temperature) and hematological profile (hematocrit, hemoglobin, erythrocyte, and leucocyte). Data were processed using SPSS version 16 software based on a randomized block design. ANOVA variance analysis was carried out with the F test at a 95% confidence interval (a = 0.05). The results of testing the physiological response and the hematological response showed that there was no effect (P> 0.05) of the combination of tabut and ammoniated citronella waste on respiratory rate, heart rate, rectal temperature, hematocrit, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, and leukocytes. The average obtained tends to be normal, therefore the combination of tabut and ammoniated citronella waste given to Etawa crossbreed goats can be applied to dairy livestock and it is recommended with a combination ratio of 6% tabut and 2% ammoniated citronella waste.
