Thai Indigenous Goat Raising by Cassia siamea and Agricultural By-product in Muslim Tradition: Case Study in Pa Rai Sub-district, Mae Lan District, Pattani Province

Abstract

The objectives of this research was to determine effect of Cassia siamea and agricultural by-product to goat parasites on growth rate and growth performances in Muslim tradition on Thai indigenous goat (6-7 months old). A completely randomized designed experiment use as statistic. Goats were divided into 4 groups and 5 goats for each groups. Goats were fed for 120 days as following describes, group 1: received fresh ruzi grass (Brachiaria ruziziensis), group 2: received fresh ruzi grass, with Cassia siamea and concentrate (2%/kg.bw) group 3: received fresh ruzi grass with Cassia siamea and concentrate (1%/kg.bw), and group 4: received fresh ruzi grass with organic waste of agriculture. The internal parasite in goats intestine were investigated and showed as initial weights and final weights. The result showed that the initial weights of group 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 7.60 ± 1.08, 7.30 ± 1.20, 8.50 ± 1.66 and 9.50 ± 1.58 kg.bw; respectively, and final weights were 8.80 ± 0.89, 10.06 ± 0.80, 11.06 ± 1.62, 11.50 ± 1.50 kg.bw; respectively. The parasites in goat intestine both of before and after feeds of group 2 and 3 were decreased and cause to increase of weights which better than group 1 and 2. However, group 2 and 3 were feed by Cassia siamea supplementation could removed parasite.
