Abstrak
Research has been conducted on the effect of ration from combination of grass, forbs and woody plants against rumen metabolite and weight gain of timor deer in deer captivity, Pupuan Tabanan, Which was held in February to March 2014. Four individual timor deer was used as sample. Feed rations are sourced from the plant species selected by timor deer in the wild. Rumen metabolites (VFA and N-NH3) were analyzed by gas chromatography techniques. Parameters of glucose levels, Blood Urea N (BUN) and blood proteins were also measured. The average daily gain (g/day) of timor deer is measured by weighing every 2 weeks for 6 weeks. The results showed that timor deer given ration I (grass + forbs + woodys) resulted in the highest rumen metabolite of total VFA of 59.22 mM/100 mL and the lowest was deer consuming ration IV (grass only) of 19.75 mM/100mL. Deer that consumed ration I also showed the highest of average daily gain of 138.83 g/day and the lowest was ration IV of 77.62 g/day.
