Abstract

Galangal essential oil (EO) with cineol as the main component has antimicrobial activity. The level of nutrient digestibility in dairy cows is determined by the mechanism of action of the rumen microbes. The addition of galangal essential oil to dairy cows feed is expected to reduce the activity of proteolytic bacteria, thereby increasing the total protein digestibility of dairy cows. Each treatment consists of the same basal feed (60% elephant grass and 40% concentrate) with varying doses of galangal EO as much as 0 (control), 1.25 and 2.50 g/head/day. The collection period for digestibility was carried out for seven days after a 30 day adaptation period of giving galangal essential oil. The data obtained were analyzed for variance using a completely randomized design with three treatments and four replications. The results showed that there was no significant difference between control and galangal essential oil in both nutrient intake and nutrient digestibility (dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fibre, and nitrogen-free extract). This study concluded that galangal essential oil levels of up to 2.50 g/head/day were the optimal dose without a negative impact on nutrient digestibility of dairy cows.
