Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of nutmeg seed essential oil (NSEO) dietary supplementation on nutrient consumption and digestibility of Ettawa Crossbreed Goats. Eleven Ettawa Crossbreed Goats, 1 to 1.5 years of age, with initial body weight ranged from 19 to 22.5 kg, were divided into control and two treatment groups, those are 1 and 2 mL of NSEO/kg dry matter of total concentrate. The goats were rare on a metabolic cage and fed with king grass and concentrate (rice bran, wheat pollard, and molasses) for 60 d. Variables observed were nutrient consumption, digested nutrient and coefficient of digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), ether extract (EE), nitrogen-free extract (NFE), and total digestible nutrient (TDN). Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and continued by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The result showed that supplementation of NSEO up to 2 mL/kg DM of total concentrate did not affect nutrient consumption and digested nutrients of DM, OM, CP, EE, and NFE. However, supplementation of NSEO started from 1 mL/kg DM of total concentrate reduced the digested CF and its coefficient of digestibility. Based on this study, it could be concluded that the supplementation of nutmeg seed essential oil up to 1 mL/kg decreases CF digestibility in Ettawa Crossbreed Goats without affecting other parameters.
