Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot is an eco-friendly alternative for animal feedstuff and its growth and development is impacted by a substrate nutrient. Therefore, this study aims to determine the production and nutrient composition of BSF (Hermetia illucens) maggots using different fermented growth media from agriculture by-products. The study adopted a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments with 4 replications. The treatments include P0 = 100% Fermented Rice Bran, P1 = 50% each of Fermented Coconut by-product and Rice Bran, P2 = 50% each of Fermented Tofu by-product and Rice Bran, P3 = 50% each of Fermented Palm Kernel Meal and Rice Bran, P4 = 25% each of Fermented Rice Bran, Coconut by-product, Fermented Tofu by-product, and Palm Kernel Meal. The results showed a significant difference in BSF maggot production in each treatment because of the media nutrient content. Therefore, the quantity is influenced by the quality and amount of the maggot growing media. Also, the protein content and the production in the P4 treatment have the highest values of 19.26% and 831.50g, respectively.
Turi (Sesbania grandiflora) is a multi-purpose plant, including leaves for animal feed, flowers for human food and wood for wood pellets. Eco enzyme is produced from the fermentation of fruits containing enzymes and organic acids. The application of Eco enzyme, among others as biocatalist to improve plant productivity. This paper aims to study dilution of Eco Enzym which was applied to Turi plants to increase its productivity This study used a completely randomized design, namely: T1: Eco enzyme dilution 1: 100; T2: 1: 200; T3: 1: 300 whereas there were 5 replications. Parameters were plant height, stem diameter, number of branches, leaf width and number of flowers. The results of this research were that the parameters of plant height, leaf of width, number of flowers had significant effect by the 1:100 dilution treatment (p<0,05). However, there was no significant effect on stem diameter and and the number of branches. The best response to eco enzyme was 1: 100.
North Labuhanbatu regency is one of the districts in North Sumatra Province that has the potential in the development of agriculture and livestock sector. This research aims to identify internal and external factors in the development of goat and sheep farming businesses, formulate alternative development strategies, and strategic priorities that can be applied in the development of goat and sheep in North Labuhanbatu regency. The research site is in North Labuhanbatu regency in February – April 2020. The data used is primary and secondary data. The basic method used in this study is descriptive analytics. The data analysis method used matrix analysis (IFE), matrix (EFE) and matrix (SWOT). The results showed that alternative strategies that can be used in the development of goat and sheep livestock in North Labuhanbatu regency are active and professional agriculture and livestock counselling human resources, establishing livestock institutions such as livestock groups, the role of local governments in mentoring and approaching, establishing livestock health services and cooperative as well as strengthening the livestock and sheep markets in North Labuhanbatu regency.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of garlic-based herbs (combinatioan with shallot, Kaempferia galanga, ginger, betel leaf, turmeric, Curcuma zanthorrhiza, Alpinia galanga, lemongrass and coriander) solution as drinking water during broiler raising on the water content, pH and cooking loos value of the broiler meat. The research design used a CRD with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The dose of herbs ingredients used 25% of the daily drinking water requirement. The results showed a very siginificant difference (P<0.01) to water content and cooking loss but were not significant difference (P>0.05) to the pH value. The results of DMRT showed that the water content of broiler meat with treatment K2, K5, and K5 was significantly higher than K0, K1, K4 and K3 while the cooking loss value showed that the treatment at K0 and K6 was significantly higher than K2, K4, K5 and K1. It can be concluded that the giving of drinking water with garlic and Kaempferia galanga solution produces the lowest of water content (66,89%), pH (6,61) and cooking loss (32,23%) values, so it can be used as an additive in animal feed with to improving the quality of broiler meat.
Karo Regency is one of the biggest coffee producing regions in North Sumatra Province. Plantation waste by-product from coffee production is the coffee seed waste which is usually discarded and causes environmental pollution. The purpose of this community service is to apply the waste of coffee fruit skin into sheep and goat feed using silage technology so that it can reduce the cost of feed for farmers. The method used is interviews and finding solutions to problems, training accompanied by practice using teaching media such as guidebooks, leaflets and banners, assistance and reinforcement supported by equipment from the service team so farmers are more interested. Outcomes of community service programs are improving farmers 'knowledge and skills, reducing the cost of animal feed using abundant coffee seed waste, reducing environmental pollution, developing the concept of business integration between plantations and animal husbandry so as to increase farmers' incomes. The results obtained are based on a long-term indicator that the utilization of coffee fruit seed waste using silage technology for animal feed can reduce feed costs, increase livestock production, increase farmers' skills and knowledge and can overcome waste pollution. It was concluded that silage technology using coffee seed waste is very effective to improve science, environmental health, income and farmers' standard of living.
