Abstract
Information on the type, nutritional value, and use of local forage as racehorse feed remains limited due to the lack of exploration and identification of available local forage germplasm. To develop competitive livestock, it is necessary to utilize local resources that have added value, such as local forage with good nutritional quality adapted to local climate conditions. Research aimed to determining the nutritional composition of forage feed for racehorses in Empang District, Sumbawa Regency was analyzed from 27 June to 27 July 2022 at the Animal Nutrition and Feed Science Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Mataram University. Samples of forage were taken from predetermined locations and then it dried to analyzed. The samples were taken randomly from 10 percent of total population of racehorse breeders. This research presents descriptive discussion of the qualitative data obtained. It analyzed quantitative data using the Microsoft Excel program, based on mean and standard deviation. The results indicate that the Sumbawa Racing horse feeding system involves directly providing six types of feed with varying nutritional content to the horses in their stables.. They are such as Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) with nutritional composition: DM 23.54%; CP 12.02%, TDN 43.59%, Kekawatan grass (Cynodon nlemfuensis): DM 29.38%; CP 8.66%; TDN 36.44%. Deccan grass (Echinochloa colona): DM 29.26%; CP 7.64%; TDN 39.37%. Mung bean straw (Vigna radiata): DM 89.72%; CP 7.58%; TDN 39.00%, Rice bran (Oryza sativa): DM 89.95%; CP 8.75%; TDN 62.04%, and Corn grain (Zea mays): DM 24.67%;C P 6.92%; TDN 45.07%.
