Abstract
    This research created to know the effect of utilization Sweet Orange flour (Citrus sinensis) on the digestibility of crude protein and fat in the male padjadjaran sheep and the level of utilization sweet range flour, which generates the highest digestibility of crude protein and fat. This research was conducted for 40 days in the breeding station and laboratory of animal feed and ruminant nutrition faculty of animal husbandry Universitas Padjadjaran. This research used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments (T-1= 0 %, T-2 =4%,T-3=6% and T-4= 8%) and 5 replications. The result shows that the utilization of sweet orange waste flour does not give a significantly different (P>0.05) on crude protein and fat in the sheep ratio. Utilization of sweet orange waste flour up to 8% in the concentrate generates the relatively same result on the digestibility of crude protein and fat with the treatment control (T-1).
