The research was conducted in Lili savanna, West Timor. The aims were to study the effects of local feed
supplementation on performances of Bligon does at late gestation period reared in West Timor savanna during dry season
Fifteen Bligon does at late gestation period were used for ten weeks. Does were randomly divided into 3 groups of
treatment, namely R0 = control; R1 = R0 + 1% supplementation; and R2 = R0 + 2% supplementation. Results showed that
average daily gain, kid’s birth weight, colostrum Ig and body condition scores of group R2 (62.5 g, 2.42 kg, 94.8 mg/ml;
2.36, respectivelly) were significantly higher than group R0 (-7.19 g, 1.73 kg, 43 mg/ml ; 2.36, respectively), but were not
significantly different from group R1 (51.79 g, 2.25 kg, 71.2 mg/ml ; 3.24, respectively). Blood components (PVC,
leukocyte, erythrocyte, Hb, glucose, protein and urea) at the begining of the experiment were similar among groups,
however they were significant different (P0.05). In conclusion, the performance and health status of
Bligon does at late gestation period reared at West Timor savanna during dry season can be increased by local feed
supplementation.
