<p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Objective: </strong>This study aims to determine the nutritional quality of fermented feed containing banana plant waste that will be given to native chickens in Sidolego Village to accelerate the achievement of Sidolego Village as a chicken center village.</p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>The ingredients used to make fermented feed were banana tree waste, black garlic, curcuma, maize, rice bran, fish meal, and coconut meal. All ingredients were ground into flour, mixed thoroughly, and fermented using a solution of Effective Microorganisms 4 (6ml EM4: 6gram sugar: 1-liter water). The study was designed into a completely randomized design with 4 treatments; length of fermentation (1, 2, 3, and 4 days) and 5 replications. The parameters were the nutrient content (dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fiber, and crude fat) and metabolizable energy. <strong></strong></p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Results: </strong>The results showed that the fermentation time significantly affected (P<0.05) the nutrient content and energy of fermented feed. Fermentation for 3 days significantly decreased dry matter, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract, and metabolizable energy. The fermentation period did not significantly affect organic matter and crude fat content, but it significantly increased crude protein content. <strong></strong></p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>It was concluded that feed containing banana tree waste fermented using EM4 for 3 days had sufficient nutrients especially crude protein content (20%) and might be offered to the growing local chickens in Sidolego Village and meet their nutrient requirement. It is recommended that the results of this study be followed up on feeding to local chickens kept in Sidolego Village to know its effect on local chicken performance.<strong></strong></p><p> </p>
Kebutuhan serutan kayu sebagai bahan litter semakin bersaing dengan peningkatan dan perluasan usaha peternakan ayam broiler, sehingga menyebabkan ketersediaan terbatas dan biaya menjadi mahal. Limbah perkebunan, seperti sabut kelapa, ampas tebu dan pelepah sawit dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai alternatif bahan litter untuk alas lantai kandang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan limbah perkebunan sebagai bahan litter terhadap bobot karkas dan lemak abdomen ayam broiler. Sebanyak 200 ekor anak ayam broiler umur 1 hari strain Lohmann didistribusikan pada 20 unit kandang koloni. 4 jenis bahan litter yang digunakan sebagai perlakuan adalah: serutan kayu (P0 sebagai kontrol), sabut kelapa (P1), ampas tebu (P2), dan pelepah sawit (P4). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan. Semua ayam dipelihara dalam kondisi lingkungan yang sama pada kandang sistem terbuka. Sebanyak 5 ekor/unit kandang (25 ekor/perlakuan) diambil sebagai sampel untuk pengukuran bobot potong, bobot karkas dan bobot lemak abdomen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan bahan litter sabut kelapa, ampas tebu dan pelepah sawit tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05) terhadap bobot karkas dan bobot lemak abdomen ayam broiler. Disimpulkan bahwa bahan litter limbah perkebunan seperti sabut kelapa, ampas tebu dan pelepah sawit dapat digunakan sebagai bahan litter alternatif yang dapat menggantikan serutan kayu karena memiliki pengaruh yang sama terhadap bobot karkas dan lemak abdomen ayam broiler.
