Maggot adalah agen pengurai materi organik yang memiliki kemampuan mengurai lebih baik dibandingkan dengan organisme lainnya. Maggot memiliki biomassa dengan kandungan protein dan lemak tinggi. Tercatat 600 ton sampah yang diproduksi oleh masyarakat setiap hari di kota Padang. Dari angka tersebut, baru 100 ton yang bisa dikelola menjadi kompos atau didaur ulang, dan sisanya seberat 500 ton sampah tetap harus ditimbun di TPA Air Dingin. Dari 100 ton sampah yang diolah, 65% merupakan sampah organik yang bisa dijadikan kompos dan 35 persen merupakan sampah plastik dan kertas yang bisa didaur ulang. Budidaya maggot merupakan upaya paling tepat yang dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat, disamping mengolah sampah organik juga akan menghasilkan bahan makanan untuk ternak seperti ayam, itik, ikan, dan burung. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dengan topik “Teori dan Praktek Budidaya Maggot Black Soldier Fly dalam Pengolahan Sampah Organik Rumah Tangga” dilaksanakan berdasarkan kerjasama antara BaSE KMDM dan dosen Universitas Andalas. Praktek budidaya Maggot BSF sangat mudah untuk dilakukan oleh siapa pun. Proses pembudidayaan hanya membutuhkan teknologi sederhana dan biaya murah, namun mampu mengurangi beban sampah bumi. Maggot sebagai produk yang diharapkan bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pakan ternak alternatif di tengah melambungnya harga pakan konvensional, terutama untuk komoditi unggas. Saran untuk kegiatan ini yakni pengadaan penyuluhan dan pendampingan untuk mengolah Maggot menjadi produk turunan, sehingga bisa dikemas sedemikian rupa untuk dipasarkan ke target sasaran yang membutuhkan.
The Bukit Nobita Tourism Area is being developed by Kelurahan Kampung Jua Nan XX, Kota Padang, in collaboration with FMIPA UNAND, one of which is the Department of Biology. Nowadays, a waste management program is being designed. This program is similar to the existing Bank Sampah mission in Bukit Nobita, but Bank Sampah only manages inorganic waste, leaving organic waste problems unresolved. As a result, the team from the Department of Biology of FMIPA UNAND proposed processing organic waste with black soldier fly maggots (Hermetia illucens). The cultivation training of maggots was carried out in this program in collaboration with Pokdarwis, the PKK group, and MBKM students. The activity occurred at the Kantor Lurah Kampung Jua Nan XX and the Minagot Sumbar Maggot BSF Research and Cultivation House, Kota Padang. The program was held from November to December 2022. The cultivation of Black Soldier Fly maggots by the community in the Bukit Nobita tourism area is expected to convert organic waste into organic fertilizers, the maggots can be processed into animal and fish feed, and it can also become an educational attraction that provides an exciting experience for visitors to the Bukit Nobita Tourism Area.
A marked increase in demand for white mice (Mus musclulus L., mammals) in the Indonesian market has been attributed to the price soar, while the availability of mice with a standardized quality remains very limited. Considering such condition, a business focusing on standardized farm of white mice should be actively socialized to younger people thereby elevating their enthusiasm in the entrepreneurship. This community service program aimed to provide insights as well as to train the basic skills in white mouse farming for students of the National High School Number 5 Bukittinggi. The program has been carried out for one day in the Biology Department, Andalas University with 45 participants. We deployed the lectures and hands-on practice on the aspects of white mouse farming. All participants have directly practiced various principle techniques in mice farming such as handling, sexing, mating, and raising brooders. This activity has increased the interest of the participants in such creative business. In the future, some efforts should be made to ensure the sustainability of the program by involving the participants from other schools, teachers and unemployed youth in West Sumatra.
