Abstract

Earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) are one of the soil organisms with a protein content of approximately 76%, providing significant benefits to human life. It is necessary to transport livestock/animals from their place of origin to the destination for processing or further cultivation in order to maximize the utilize of earthworms. During transportation, various challenges are encountered, leading to a decline in the performance of earthworms. The aimed of this research was to study the influence of different transportation durations on the performance of earthworms. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with three different transportation duration treatments and three replications. Further analysis would be conducted using Duncan’s multiple-range test if the results differred significantly. Variables observed in this study included the conditions of the media pH, media temperature and humidity, environmental temperature, and humidity, weight loss and earthworm mortality. The results indicated that transportation duration significantly differs (P<0.05) in affecteding the weight loss and mortality earthworms. The 3-hour transportation treatment resulted in the highest weight loss (82.33 g, equivalent to 55.63%) and mortality (411.87 g, equivalent to 91.07%).

Abstract

Earthworms are one of the animals used as indicators to assess soil quality and fertility. In earthworm cultivation, several factors affect the life of earthworms, including temperature, pH, moisture, nutrient content, and media texture. This study aims to evaluate the productivity of earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) in a mixed medium of cow manure and cricket manure. The method used in this study is a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 3 replications, along with a Tukey posthoc test. The results showed that the addition of cricket manure to cow manure as a cultivation medium could increase earthworm productivity. The use of 90% cow manure with the addition of 10% cricket manure resulted in an average weight increase of 17 g, an average of 94 cocoons, and an average media reduction of 260.50 g. The addition of more than 10% cricket manure to cow manure could reduce earthworm productivity.

Abstract

Crickets are a promising alternative source of animal protein due to their high levels of amino acids, fatty acids, and protein (61.58%). These nutrients have applications in the pharmaceutical industry, human food, bird feed, and as a substitute for livestock feed, particularly in the form of cricket flour. The Kalung cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) is notable for its rapid growth rate and efficient feed conversion. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of diets combining concentrate with cassava leaves of different maturities on the performance of Kalung crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus). A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed, consisting of three treatments with five replications each. The treatments were R1= concentrate+young cassava leaves, R2= concentrate+mature cassava leaves, R3= concentrate+cassava leaf stems, with a combination ratio of 1:1.5. The parameters observed include feed consumption, body weight gain, egg production, feed conversion, mortality, and income over feed cost (IOFC). The results showed that no significant differences among treatments in feed intake, weight gain, and mortality. However, significant differences were observed in egg production (0.022±0.011 g/individu/day) and feed conversion (1,88±0.95) with the R1 treatment showing the most favorable results. A diet combining concentrate with young cassava leaves significantly improves the reproductive performance and feed efficiency of Kalung crickets. This combination is recommended for enhancing productivity in Gryllus bimaculatus farming systems.

Abstract

Lumbricus rubellus is one of earthworm species that has been cultivated because its utility as feed for livestock and fish. The culture media for earthworms are mainly manure and compost. The purpose of this research was to observe the performance of Lumbricus rubellus given eggshell powder in different types and levels. This study used commercial eggshell flour and homemade eggshell flour with different levels (10%, 20%, 30%) mixed with cow dung as a medium. The results of the study showed that the addition of eggshell flour (commercial and homemade) as much as 10% showed a higher earthworm weight gain than other treatments but the cocoon production of the treatment was lower than the control (0% eggshell flour).

Abstract

Earthworms are nocturnal animals and have negative phototaxis, therefore the presence and color of light are thought to affect the performance of this Lumbricus rubellus earthworm. This study aims to analyze the effect of different color lights on Lumbricus rubellus performance. This study used acompletely randomized design (RAL), six color treatments (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and dark as a control) and three replications with variables observed were weight gain, media weight, number of segments to the clitellum, and the number of cocoons. The results showed that the six types of color had different effects on the performance of the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. The red color lights had a better effect on the weight of the earthworm, the number of cocoons and the number of segments compared to other colors, while the yellow color had a lower effect.

Abstract

Composting and mixing organic and inorganic materials are among the abilities of earthworms. The survival of earthworms is influenced by several environmental factors, including media temperature, media pH, media moisture, media texture, and media nutrient content. Shellfish shells are underutilized waste that is increasing in quantity as more people consume food from the sea. This study aims to analyze the productivity of earthworms (Pheretima sp.) using a combination of cow dung and green shellfish shells as a cultivation media. The study uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with four treatments and three replications, and the obtained results are analyzed using the Tukey test. The observed parameters are temperature, moisture, pH, total body weight, population, cocoon count, and media depletion. The results of the study show a significant (P<0.05) on the use of green shellfish shells in all measured parameters. The treatment P1 increase the body weight of earthworms (Pheretima sp.) by 33.3 grams and resulted in a media loss 262.67 grams. The use of green mussel shell flour at a concentration of ≥ 10% can increase the productivity of soil worms.
