Abstract

This research aims to examine the potential of corn cobs as a renewable energy source and explore optimal processing methods as well as the economic and environmental impacts of their use. Research methods cover various stages from data collection, laboratory experiments, technical and economic analysis, to environmental and social impact evaluation. Using quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore the potential for using corn cobs as a renewable energy source. Utilization of corn cobs as renewable energy is a potential solution in facing energy and environmental challenges. The research results show that corn cobs have significant calorific value and can be processed using methods such as briquette production. Although there are still challenges in terms of technology adoption and investment, the resulting economic and environmental potential is very promising. Community empowerment through corncob-based energy production can be a strategic step in developing renewable energy in rural areas. Briquettes as an Alternative Fuel. Production of briquettes from corn cobs offers a practical solution for people who need alternative fuel at an affordable price. The quality of briquettes produced from corn cobs is sufficient to meet energy needs in households and small industrial scales. In addition, briquettes from corn cobs are also cleaner to use compared to coal or firewood.

Abstract

This research was conducted in order to determine or to re-examine the performances of broiler chickens fed ration containing cinnamon bark powder (Cinnamomum burmannii).  Eighty of CP 707 broiler chickens aged of 2 weeks were used and kept until 6 weeks old. Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 4 replications each treatment was used in this study; the treatments used were, T0= 100% basal ration without cinnamon bark powder (CBP), T1= 99.5% basal ration + 0.5% CBP, T2= 99% basal ration + 1% CBP, T3= 98.5% basal ration + 1.5 % CBP, and T4= 98% basal ration + 2% CBP.  The measurements taken were feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion, and final body weight. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan test showed that, giving cinnamon bark powder up to 2% in the ration had an effect on CP 707 broiler chickens aged 2-6 weeks; had a very significantly different effect (P<0.01) on body weight gained and so, on final body weight; and significantly different (P <0.05) on feed conversion, but not on feed consumption. In this study, the higher the level of CBP in the ration, the weight gained and final body weight decreased but feed conversion increased.  Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that giving cinnamon bark powder as a natural feed additive up to 2% in the feed did not improve the performance of CP 707 broiler chickens, because of weight gained and final body weight of the chickens decreased, while, feed conversion increased, which means that, economically it was not getting better.

Abstract

Desa Posso memiliki potensi pertanian yang tinggi, khususnya dalam produksi jagung. Namun, hasil samping berupa tongkol jagung selama ini hanya dibuang atau dibakar tanpa dimanfaatkan lebih lanjut. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya, tongkol jagung memiliki kandungan selulosa dan lignin yang tinggi, sehingga berpotensi untuk diolah menjadi bahan bakar biomassa (Susanto et al., 2022). Kurangnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam pengolahan tongkol jagung sebagai sumber energi menyebabkan potensi ini belum tergarap dengan baik. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah sebagai berikut: 1) Meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat Desa Posso mengenai potensi tongkol jagung sebagai sumber energi terbarukan dan juga untuk menjadi pupuk dan makanan ternak. 2) Memberikan pelatihan kepada masyarakat tentang teknik-teknik pengolahan tongkol jagung menjadi bahan bakar biomassa, pupuk dan makanan ternak. 3) Mendorong kemandirian energi di tingkat desa dengan memanfaatkan sumber daya lokal yang melimpah. 4) Mengurangi limbah pertanian yang selama ini tidak terkelola dengan baik. Pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi Sosialisasi Program kosabangsa kepada mitra, melaksanakan Pelatihan-pelatihan yaitu pembuatan briket dan pellet pakan ayam dari tongkol jagung. Melakiukan Kunjungan lapangan langsung pada Kelompok tani maju bersama dan kelompok tani suka damai. Hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan kosabangsa yaitu menghasilkan 500 kg pellet pakan ayam dengan harga jual sebesar Rp. 7.000 per kilogram dari 1 ton tongkol jagung dalam sekali diproduksi, dan mengahsilkan 800 kg briket dengan harga jual sebesar Rp 10.000 per kilogram dari 1 ton tongkol jagung dalam sekali produksi
