Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh substitusi Alfalfa tropik (Medicago sativa cv. Kacang Ratu BW) di dalam pakan terhadap jumlah produksi susu, kadar lemak susu dan kadar protein kambing Sapera. Penelitian ini menggunakan 12 ekor kambing Sapera pada periode laktasi kedua dengan bobot rata-rata 40±5 kg. Pakan diberikan dengan perhitungan 5?rdasarkan bahan kering dengan perbandingan konsentrat dan hijauan dengan komposisi 40:60. Metode yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) pola searah yang terdiri dari empat perlakuan pakan P0 (kontrol), P1, P2, dan P3 dengan 3 ulangan yaitu 3 ekor kambing Sapera dalam setiap perlakuan. P0 = konsentrat, pakchong, dan Indigofera. P1 = konsentrat, pakchong, dan daun singkong. P2 = konsentrat, pakchong, dan kaliandra. P3 = konsentrat, pakchong, dan alfalfa. Variabel yang diamati meliputi produksi susu, kadar lemak, dan kadar protein susu kambing Sapera. Hasil analisis ragam menunjukkan bahwa substitusi alfalfa tropik tidak berpengaruh nyata pada produksi dan kadar protein susu kambing Sapera (P>0,05). Hasil uji lanjut Least Significance Different (LSD) menunjukkan adanya perbedaan nyata (P<0>0,05) pada perlakuan lainnya maupun pada parameter produksi dan kadar protein susu.

This study aimed to determine the effect of substituting tropical alfalfa (Medicago sativa cv. Kacang Ratu BW) in the diet on milk production, milk fat, and protein content of Sapera goats. 12 Sapera goats in their second lactation period with an average weight of 40±5 kg was used and 5% of body weight (dry matter based) with a concentrate and forage ratio of 40:60. The research was a completely randomized design (CRD) in a one-way layout consisting of four feed treatments: P0 (control), P1, P2, and P3, with 3 replicates, consisting of 3 Sapera goats in each treatment. P0 = concentrate, pakchong, and Indigofera. P1 = concentrate, pakchong, and cassava leaves. P2 = concentrate, pakchong, and calliandra. P3 = concentrate, pakchong, and alfalfa. The variables observed included milk production, fat content, and protein content of Sapera goat milk. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the substitution of tropical alfalfa had no significant effect. on the production and protein content of Sapera goat milk (P>0.05). The results of the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test indicated a significant difference (P<0>0.05) were observed in the other treatments or in the production parameters and milk protein content.
