Abstract
Bali cattle are known to have good genetics. It is necessary to conduct research on "Weight Gain of Young Bali Cows Given Quality Feed". The research was conducted in the Abiansemal Badung Strait Village. The cattle used were 6 male Bali cows with an average age of 1 year with an average body weight of 90 ± 9.6 kg, which were fed elephant grass and bran with a ratio of 3: 0.5 from dry matter, without EM4 in water. drink treatment A, while treatment B with the addition of 5 ml / liter Em4 drinking water. The research was conducted using an experimental method consisting of 2 treatments and 3 replications. The average feed conversion in this study was treatment A 7.6 and treatment B 6.2. The figures in treatment A illustrate that Bali cattle in this study consume 7.6 kg of dry matter to increase their body weight 1 kg. Whereas in treatment B requires as much as 6.2 kg of feed to increase 1 kg of body weight. The conversion rate in treatment B was lower than treatment A, meaning that Bali cows that consumed drinking water supplied with EM4 resulted in a more efficient conversion than treatment A. The conversion in treatment B was lower than treatment A, meaning that Bali cows that consumed drinking water supplied with EM4 produces a more efficient conversion than treatment A. Addition of EM-4 in drinking water for one year old bulls can increase daily body weight and reduce ration consumption, and be more efficient in using rations.
