This study was conducted to investigate consumption and digestibility of the ration by Timor deer (Cervus Timorensis Blainville) to forages the composition grass, forbs and woody plants. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the most complete ration species composition (consisting of grass, forbs, and woody plant) will show the level of consumption and digestibility of the highest value. The study used a completely randomized desaign, with 4 treatments rations. 4 individual deer used as experimental animals. Consumption levels each treatment ration and digestibility determined by the total collection methods. The results showed that the ration most complete it’s plant species composition (ration A), to produce a ration with a balanced nutrient content in terms of protein, ME and mineral. Digestible of dry matter, protein, organic matter and energy (DE) showed the highest value on the most complete ration (ration A). Ration A based on the total consumption of protein, protein digestion, the ME and consumption of minerals to meet the needs for growth in the timor deer.
