Abstract

Small-scale duck farming operations face challenges posed by high feed costs and low utilization of local organic waste, which has the potential to serve as an alternative feed ingredient. This Student Creativity Program (PKM) aims to apply fermentation technology to catfish waste and banana stems as innovative feed ingredients in duck rations to improve the efficiency of the farming operations at Fitria Farm. Activities were carried out through a participatory approach that included identifying partner needs, formulating rations based on fermented waste, training in fermentation technology, implementing feed administration, and evaluating production performance and business economics. Catfish waste was utilized as a protein source, while banana stems were fermented to improve fiber digestibility and nutrient content. The fermentation process utilized local microorganism bioactivators (MOL) over a specific period to produce feed of higher quality. Implementation results show that the use of fermented feed is able to improve feed palatability, feed conversion efficiency, and body weight gain in entog, as well as reduce feed costs compared to conventional feed. In addition, this activity enhances partners’ knowledge and skills in processing agricultural and fishery waste into economically valuable feed. Conclusion the technology for fermenting catfish waste and banana stems has the potential to serve as a model for sustainable feed innovation that supports the strengthening of local-resource-based duck farming operations.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of turmeric extract (Curcuma domestica) supplementation in drinking water on the production performance and egg quality of Isa Brown laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus). A completely randomized design (CRD) was applied with 60 Isa Brown layer-phase hens, five treatments (P0: 0%, P1: 1%, P2: 2%, P3: 3%, P4: 4% turmeric extract), and four replicates. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results showed that turmeric extract supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), water intake, and Hen Day Production (HDP). The lowest FCR was observed in P2 (2.35 ± 0.26), the highest HDP in P1 (69.75 ± 11.58%), and water intake decreased as turmeric extract concentration increased, with P0 showing the highest intake (7,132.50 ± 187.68 mL). Turmeric extract also significantly improved (p<0.05) egg weight, albumen thickness, and Haugh units. The highest egg weight was recorded in P4 (68.58 g), while the best albumen thickness (7.38 mm) and Haugh units (82.31) were found in P3. Feed intake, body weight gain, yolk percentage, albumen percentage, eggshell percentage, yolk thickness, eggshell thickness, and egg index were not significantly affected (p>0.05). It is concluded that turmeric extract supplementation at 3% in drinking water produces the best overall egg quality, while 4% yields the highest egg weight.
