Pemanfaatan Limbah Sawit sebagai Pakan Produksi Ruminansia

Abstract

Desa Sukaramai Dua, Kecamatan Seruway, Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang mempunyai potensi sumber daya alam berupa perkebunan kelapa sawit yang luas dan ternak ruminansia milik kelompok Tani warga. Potensi ini dapat dimanfaatkan dengan mengolah hasil limbah kelapa sawit pelepah segar menjadi potensi sumber pakan organik yang dapat diolah menjadi pakan ternak ruminansia. Terbatasnya ketersediaan pakan utama ternak berupa semua jenis rumput pada musim kemarau dan penghujan membuat peternak ruminansia kesulitan menyediakan pakan. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian adalah memanfaatkan limbah kelapa sawit berupa pelepah segar yang tidak dipakai dan dibuang oleh petani menjadi alternatif pakan ruminansia pada musim kemarau dan penghujan sebagai cadangan stok pakan. Pelatihan diberikan kepada Kelompok usaha ternak Replita Tani yang terdiri dari masyarakat Desa Sukaramai Dua. Kegiatan dilaksanakan mulai dari tanggal 3 Juni sampai 25 juni 2022, Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan melalui dua tahap yaitu tahap pertama survey lapangan, sosialisasi dan pelatihan pengelolaan bahan campuran serta pengemasan, tahap kedua pendampingan fermentasi hasil bahan olahan selama 21 hari sebelum pakan diberikan kepada sapi. Hasil produk berupa olahan pakan ternak yang dapat meningkatkan kuantitas serta kualitas daging dari komposisi campuran pada pembuatan dengan berbagai bahan tambahan dapat meningkatkan kualitas daging sapi. Pelatihan yang di berikan kepada Kelompok Replita Tani Desa Sukaramai Dua sangat bermanfaat dengan mengembangkan potensi desa yang mempunya lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit kemudian diolah menjadi pakan ternak ruminansia. Dengan adanya pelatihan ini masyarakat dapat mandiri menyediakan stok pakan ruminansia dengan daya simpan lebih lama sehingga tidak kesulitan pada saat musim penghujan dan musim kemarau. Sukaramai Dua Village, Seruway District, Aceh Tamiang Regency, has potential natural resources in the form of extensive oil palm plantations and ruminant livestock belonging to the resident farmer group. This potential can be utilized by processing palm oil waste from fresh midrib into a potential source of organic feed that can be processed into ruminant animal feed. The limited availability of main feed for livestock in the form of all types of grass in the dry and rainy seasons makes it difficult for ruminant farmers to provide feed. The purpose of this service activity is to utilize palm oil waste in the form of fresh midribs that are not used and disposed of by farmers as an alternative to ruminant feed in the dry and rainy seasons as a reserve for feedstock. The training was given to the Replita Tani livestock business group consisting of the people of Sukaramai Dua Village. The activity was carried out starting from June 3 to June 25, 2022; the method of carrying out the activities was through two stages, namely the first stage of field surveys, socialization and training in the management of mixed materials and packaging, and the second stage of mentoring the fermentation of processed materials for 21 days before the feed was given to cows. The product results in processed animal feed, which can increase the quantity and quality of meat from the composition of the mixture in the manufacture with various additional ingredients that can improve the quality of beef. The training provided to the Replita Tani Group in Sukaramai Dua Village is very useful for developing the potential of villages with oil palm plantations which are then processed into ruminant animal feed. With this training, the community can independently provide a stock of ruminant feed with a longer shelf life so that it is not difficult during the rainy and dry seasons.

Pelatihan Pengolahan Limbah Kulit Kopi untuk Pakan Ternak Ruminansia di Desa Ngembat, Gondang, Mojokerto

“…Untuk turut berkontribusi dalam memberikan edukasi, serta membantu mengatasi permasalahan limbah di Indonesia, kegiatan PKM dengan topik yang serupa dapat dilakukan oleh insan perguruan tinggi. Kegiatan pengabdian untuk memberikan edukasi pengolahan limbah menjadi pakan ternak telah dilakukan sebelumnya dengan bahan limbah sawit yang diolah secara fermentasi dengan teknik silase (Sarjani et al, 2022), bahan limbah jagung dan kedelai yang difermentasi dengan mikroba dari larutan EM4 (Susanti, et al, 2022), serta bahan limbah sayuran dari sampingan budidaya sayuran yang diolah dengan metode fermentasi menggunakan MOL isi rumen (Nurhaita et al, 2022). Fermentasi bahan limbah organik berguna tidak hanya untuk melunakkan tekstur sehingga lebih mudah dicerna oleh hewan ruminansia, tetapi juga meningkatkan kandungan nutrisinya.…”

Accompaniment of Houswives' Role in Increasing Family Income Through Utilizing Potato Harvest Remains in Dieng Village

“…Therefore, there is a great opportunity to process it into processed products such as potato chips or potato rolls, which can increase income for housewives in Dieng village. However, the challenges of globalization affect local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), including product innovation and marketing (Rohmah et al, 2023). Therefore, a new approach is needed to help local MSMEs to be able to compete in the current digital era (Sedyastuti, 2018).…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Indigofera Zollingeriana Plant-Based Ruminant Feed Using EM 4 Fermentation Method

“…The cattle rearing system still uses the semiintensive method, which is a system of raising cattle by partly grazing and partly stalling. This method is inseparable from the socio-economic conditions of farmers who find it difficult to meet the overall feed needs of cattle [1]. Environmental pollution has increased significantly lately because of the many industrial activities in the world, especially in Indonesia which is of concern.…”
