The Effect of Fermented Corn Cobs by Adding Different Sources of Carbohydrates on The Content of Dry Matter, Organic Matter, and Crude Protein as Ruminant Feeding

Pio Sukra — 2023-05-30

This study aims to determine the effect of the fermentation of corn cobs using the Panarochaeta Chrisosporium white coating fungus with the addition of a different source of carbohydrates to the content of dry matter, organic matter, and crude protein. This study used a completely random design. Consists of 4 treatments and four replications in each treatment. The need in this study was a dose of carbohydrate source different from the use of inoculum of white fungus (Panarochaeta chrisosporium) 7%. P0 = corn cob + without carbohydrate, P1 = corn cob + 10%rice bran, P2 = corn cob + tapioca flour 10%, P3 = corn cob + 10%molasses. The parameters measured in this study are the content of dry matter, organic matter, and crude protein. The results showed no different effects (P> 0.05) on the content of dry matter, and the effects were highly significant (p <0.01) on the content of organic material and crude protein content. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the effect of fermented corn cob is the best on the content of organic material and crude protein with the addition of carbohydrate sources using tapioca flour.

The Influence of Leadership on the Effectiveness of Livestock Farmer Groups and P3A Banda Tangah in Managing Rice Field Irrigation in Lubuk Sikarah District Solok City

Yusmi Nelvi — 2023-05-30

This research aims to determine the influence of group leader leadership, group effectiveness, and group leader leadership on the effectiveness of the Banda Livestock Farmers and Water Users Farmers Association (P3A). Tangah in irrigation management in lowland rice cultivation. This research was conducted using a survey method in IX Korong Village, Lubuk Sikarah District, Solok City. The research sample consisted of 65 respondents randomly selected from members of the Banda Tangah P3A group. The research results show that the leadership of the P3A group leader is in the medium category, and the effectiveness of the Banda Tangah P3A group is in the high category. The leadership of the P3A group leader has a significant influence on the effectiveness of the Banda Tanga P3A group in managing irrigation in the Banda Tangah P3A, Lubuk Sikarah District, Solok City.

Effect of Fermentation Time for a Combination of Rice Straw and Tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia) on the NDF, ADF, and Cellulose Content as Ruminant Feeding

Abdul Latif Muhajir — 2023-05-30

This research aims to examine the effect of fermentation time for rice straw and tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia) on local microorganisms in the rumen of cows. This research was carried out using a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments and 4 replications. Treatments consisted of P0 (Combination of rice straw and tithonia without local microorganisms), P1 (Combination of rice straw and tithonia with 0 Day Incubation ), P2 (Combination of rice straw and tithonia with 7 Day Incubation ), and P3 (Combination of rice straw and tithonia with 14 Day Incubation. The variables measured are NDF, ADF, and Cellulose. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the effect of fermentation of rice straw and tithonia with local microorganisms in the rumen content had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on NDF, ADF, and Cellulose. Based on this research, it shows that the combination of rice straw and tithonia can increase the content of NDF, ADF, and Cellulose.

Effect of Antimicrobial Plants on Indigenous Microorganisms from Rumen Bos Taurus in The Fermentation Process

Aulia Meyuliana — 2023-05-30

Indigenous microorganisms (IMO) are used in various agricultural activities. IMO used as a bioactivator for animal feed fermentation. IMO from bovine rumen B. taurus can be used as a bioactivator but it has contamination with pathogenic microorganisms. The antimicrobial plants tested to suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms during fermentation were Syzygium polyanthum, Cassia alata, Anredera cordifolia, and Piper betle. Antimicrobial plant fermented with rumen fluid. The results of IMO fermentation with antimicrobials were then analyzed for the microorganisms that grew in them and the display of the number of microorganisms growing. The results of the most growth of microorganisms are without antimicrobial treatment. The suppression of microbial growth on indigenous microorganism fermentation with antimicrobial plant C. alata obtained the highest yield, which was able to suppress up to 84% of microbial growth on NA medium.

Effect Use of Cricket Flour (Gryllus Sp) in The Ration on Body Weight Gain, Consumption Rations and Ratio Conversion of Balenggek Cock Chickens For 12 Weeks

Halimah Tusa’diyah — 2023-05-30

This study aims to determine how using cricket flour in rations affects body weight gain, ration consumption, and ration conversion of Balenggek crowing chickens for 12 weeks. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) 4 (four) treatments and 4 (four) replications, with 3 AKB males per replication. Treatment consists of P0 = No use of 0% cricket flour, P1 = Use of 2% cricket flour, P2 = Use of 4% cricket flour, P3 = Use of 6% cricket flour. The parameters measured in this research are Body Weight Gain, Ration Consumption, and Ration Conversion. The research results showed that the average body weight gain ranged from 45.53 -70.24 gr/head/week, feed consumption 296.69 - 319.30 gr/head/ week, and ration conversion 4.63 - 6.51%. From the research results it can be concluded that the addition of cricket flour in the ration had a very significantly different effect (P<0.01) on body weight gain, ration consumption, and ration conversion of balenggek roosters for 12 weeks with the best treatment P3 (Use of 6% Cricket Flour ).
