Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the best composition of sugarcane bagasse and Indigofera (legume plant) as main ingredients for wafer formulation for ruminant feed based on physical properties, nutritional quality and palatability. The research was conducted using a complete randomized design (CRD) consisting of 3 treatments with 5 replicates. The treatment was a ration formulation consisting of 6 feed ingredients arranged by the trials and error method with estimated crude protein content (CP) of 12.1-14.2. The use of Indigofera from 30 to 40 was significantly (P<0.05) improved wafer color score. The use of 35 and 40 Indigofera was significantly (P<0.05) increased the wafer texture score from 3.06 to 3.35. An increase in Indigofera used from 30 to 40 was significantly (P<0.05) improved wafer odor scores. It was found that the difference in the composition of bagasse and Indigofera in wafer formulation gave a significant (P<0.05) difference to the value of wafer density. The difference in the percentage of bagasse and Indigofera in the formulation was not significantly (P>0.05) affecting the water absorption of wafers. The increase in the percentage of Indigofera was significantly (P<0.05) increased the CP and ash content and decreased crude fibre (CF) content of wafer. The increasing in the percentage of Indigofera from 30 to 35 and 40 was significantly (P<0.05) increased in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and volatile fatty acid (VFA) total of wafer. The increase in the use of Indigofera from 30 to 35 and 40 in wafer formulations was significantly (P<0.05) lowering wafer palatability in goats. Based on data from physical properties, nutrient content, and in vitro digestibility, it can be concluded that the best wafer formulation was 25 bagasse + 40 Indigofera. © The Author(s) 2026
