EVALUASI PEMBERIAN WHEY PADA CALF STARTER TERHADAP KADAR GLUKOSA DAN TOTAL PROTEIN DARAH PEDET PERANAKAN ONGOLE

This study aims to determine the effect of different Calf Starter administration on glucose levels and total blood protein in calves. This research was carried out from March to April 2021, at the Experimental cage of the Muhammadiyah University of Malang. This research used 5 female calves and 4 male calves, each 6-7 months old, and used feed calf starter pellet feed mixed with whey and forage feed. The research subjects were the consumption of feed and blood of calves with the parameters observed were glucose levels and total blood protein before and after treatment. This study will use the experimental method with the treatment of 3 types of samples and each sample gets 3 repetitions. The treatment applied in this study was by mixing 7.5% whey and 1% inulin. Research data will be analyzed using Quantitative Descriptive Analysis. The results showed that the average glucose level after treatment was found to be the highest in the control treatment (P0) 70 mg/dl, whey 5% (P1) 66.33 mg/dl and whey 10% (P2) 66.67 mg/dl. While the total protein values after the treatment were (P0) 5.10 g/dl, (P1) 5.70 g/dl and (P2) 6.47 g/dl. So it is known that the higher the whey content in the feed, the higher the total protein in the blood.
