This study aimed to see the effect of fermented Turbinaria murayana seaweed using Local Microorganisms (LMo) made from fruit waste in rations on the quality of quail eggs. This study used a completely randomized design of 5 treatments with four replications. The treatment gave Turbinaria murayana seaweed fermented products with different levels, namely 0, 5, 10.15, and 20% in the ration. Research data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and differences between treatments were tested using the Duncans Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The study's results were that the administration of Turbinaria murayana seaweed fermentation products with different levels showed a very significant effect (P≤ 0.01) on the cholesterol content of egg yolks. However, no significant effect (P≥0.05) on egg weight, shell thickness, shell percentage, yolk percentage, white percentage and egg fat content. This study concludes that Turbinaria murayana seaweed fermentation products can be used in laying quail rations up to 20% by producing low-cholesterol eggs.
The main problem of livestock farming is still providing qualified feed at lower costs. Commercial feed prices are not suitable for traditional farming, thus increasing production costs more. The Labung Raya farmer's group understood that the provision of maggot larvae of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) could meet the protein needs of the livestock, such as poultry and catfish. The problems raised so far were that the growth of maggot produced was not maximized, such as few eggs, small larval body size, maggot coming out of the bucket, and not optimal fermentation of maggot feed. The activity began with a brainstorming event about the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the community. The implementation of the activities was continued with the method of counselling, training, and continuous mentoring. This community engagement was welcomed by the general community and the Labung Raya breeder group's partners. The practice of cultivating Maggot BSF is straightforward for anyone to do. The cultivation process only requires simple technology and low cost but requires breeding skills for optimal results. Maggot as a product is expected to be used as an alternative protein-rich animal feed ingredient in soaring prices for conventional feed, especially for poultry.
The main feed for ruminants is forage, and its supply fluctuates greatly depending on the season. During the rainy season, the forage will thrive and be abundant, but the opposite condition, i.e. dry season, where farmers will have difficulty getting fresh forage. Meanwhile, animal feed must be continuously available. The solution is to use agricultural waste as an animal feed with limiting factors, namely high lignin content, low digestibility, low protein content, and anti-nutrients. Therefore, a feed processing technology known as Ammoniation is needed. Ammoniation is a chemical treatment of agricultural and plantation waste feed ingredients by adding chemicals like NaOH, KOH, or Urea. Ammoniation can reduce lignin and silica and increase protein content. Socializing ammoniation technology in the Ambacang Permai livestock farmer group, Lima Puluh Kota District, was necessary. The method included lectures, demonstrations of making rice straw ammoniation, discussions, and consultations on animal feed. This activity was expected to help group members to overcome the problem of providing ruminants' feed from crop residues and plantation waste, so it was expected to reduce feed costs and increase group business.
Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian rumput laut (Turbinaria murayana) yang telah difermentasi menggunakan Mikroorganisme Lokal (MOL) dari limbah buah dalam ransum puyuh petelur (Coturnix-coturnix japonica). Penelitian menggunakan puyuh petelur umur 36 minggu dengan rata-rata produksi telur 65% sebanyak 200 ekor dan rumput laut (Turbinaria murayana) yang telah difermentasi menggunakan MOL buah serta bahan-bahan penyusun ransum lainnya seperti jagung giling, dedak halus, tepung ikan, bungkil kedelai, corn glutean meal (CGM), tepung batu dan top mix. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 5 perlakuan dan 4 kali ulangan. Perlakuan berupa level pemberian Turbinaria murayana fermentasi MOL buah berbeda dalam ransum (0, 5, 10, 15, dan 20%). Parameter yang diamati adalah konsumsi ransum, produksi telur harian, berat telur, massa telur, dan konversi ransum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengaruh berbeda sangat nyata (P≤0,01) terhadap konsumsi ransum, massa telur, konversi ransum dan produksi telur harian, serta berbeda tidak nyata (P≥0,05) terhadap berat telur. Turbinaria murayana fermentasi dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan pakan untuk menggantikan penggunaan dedak halus dan menurunkan penggunaan jagung giling, tepung ikan dan bungkil kedelai dalam ransum pada level pemberian 20% dengan rata-rata konsumsi ransum 19,51 gram/ekor/hari, produksi telur harian 57,19%, berat telur 9,42 gram/butir, massa telur 4,31 gram/butir, dan konversi ransum 4,53.
