Utilization of Coconut Pulp as Methane Inhibitor Feed on Meat Quality of Goat

This research was conducted to know the impact of methane reduction in ruminants using coconut pulpas feed substrate on the quality of goat meat. This study used coconut pulpas an antimetanogenic substrate and was added to ruminant feed. There were twentygoats aged +1 year. The feed was given with a formulation of 60: 40% forage and concentrate in dry matter with a composition according to the needs of the goats. This research was carried out by treating coconut pulpwith four levels of different treatment, namely 5, 10, 15, and 20% and compared with the treatment without using coconut pulp(0%).This experiment used a completely randomized design with fourreplications. The average difference of treatment was continued with the Duncan Multi Range Test (DMRT) test. The goats were kept for 60 days and they were slaughtered to measure the quality ofmeat. The variables measured were physical and chemical quality of goat meat. The results showed that the physical quality and the chemical quality of the meat had no significant effect. The conclusion of this research is the use of coconut pulpas an antimethanogenic substrate for goat feed can maintain the physical and chemical quality of meat and reduce meat cholesterol.
