Abstract

The research was conducted in July - August 2023 at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Timor University, with the aim of determining the physical quality of silage made from panicum maximum with different additives added. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to test the physical quality of silage made from panicum maximum consisting of 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments given are as follows: T0: Panicum maximum (Without additives/control), T1: Panicum maximum + 10% bran, T2: Panicum maximum + 10% Corn Flour, T3: Panicum maximum + 10% Brand pollard. The percentage of additives is calculated based on the weight of chopped panicum maximum. The variables studied were Color, Aroma, Texture, Fungi and pH. The results showed that the use of different additives affected the nutritional value of panicum maximum silage, indicating that Color, Aroma had a significant effect on other higher pollard additives (P<0.05), while Texture, Fungi and pH had no significant effect (P>0.05). It can be concluded that silage made from panicum maximum added with rice bran, corn flour, and pollard bran additives produces relatively the same texture, fungi, and pH content. However, the use of pollard can increase the color content of silage. The use of panicum maximum forage can increase the dry matter content of silage; it is better to use corn flour as an additive to increase the pH of silage.

Abstract

This research investigated the impact of different additives on the physical quality of king grass-based complete silage (Pennisetum purpureoides). This study was carried out at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Science, and Health, University of Timor, during the period of July–August 2023. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, consisting of treatments with replications each. The treatments included: P0 as the control (100 % king grass without additives), P1 (70% king grass + 20% rice bran + 5% Gliricidia sepium leaves + 5% sugar), P2 (70% king grass + 20% corn flour + 5% Gliricidia sepium leaves + 5% sugar), and P3 (70% king grass + 20% soybean meal + 5% Gliricidia sepium leaves + 5% sugar). The percentages of additional ingredients were calculated based on the weight of the main materials, consisting of chopped king grass and Gliricidia leaves. The parameters analyzed included color, aroma, texture, and mold presence assessed through sensory evaluation, while pH measurements were conducted using a pH meter. The percentage of mold contamination was determined by comparing the weight of the moldy portion of the silage to the total silage weight. The results indicated that the addition of additives had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the color, aroma, pH, texture, and mold development of the silage. Overall, the soybean meal treatment produced the best performance, as it effectively inhibited mold growth and generated a more desirable silage aroma compared to the control, rice bran, and corn flour treatments.
