Abstract

The increase of freshwater aquaculture leads to the increasing demand for silkworms (Tubifex sp) as natural feed. Unfortunately, high demand of silkworm supply is not fully fulfilled yet because its availability is relied on natural catch. Cultivation of Tubifex sp. outside its natural habitats requires good information on substrates and feed. We aimed to study the effect of  mud, sand and their combination use as substrates in supporting Tubifex sp growth. This study used complete randomized design with 5 treatments, namely K1 (100% sand), K2 (100% mud), P1 (combination 75% mud-25%) sand, P2 (combination 50% mud-50% sand), and P3 (combination 25% mud-75% sand) with triplicates on each treatment. Research was conducted for 21 days using fermented chicken manure as feed. Tubifex sp growth was measured on biomass, number of individuals, and average body weight, while pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen and total organic matter were listed as measured environmental parameters. The use of sand and mud combination as substrate was better than a single sand or mud alone to support Tubifex sp growth. Combination of 75% mud and 25% sand showed the best growth of Tubifex sp as observed on biomass value of 13,244 g, 370 number of individuals, and average weight body of 2,741 mg. The application of a combination of sand and mud substrates has a potency to support the cultivation of Tubifex sp outside its native habitat.

Abstract

The processing of household organic waste through vermicomposting has the potential to produce fertilizers with higher nutrient content compared to conventional methods. This study aims to analyze the effect of adding sago pulp and cow manure as media on the quality of vermicompost and vermiwash derived from household organic waste using Eisenia fetida worms. The experiment was conducted using five treatments with five replications. Observed parameters included media moisture, temperature, pH, changes in color and texture, odor, earthworm biomass, and the contents of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Data were analyzed descriptively by correlating observational results with laboratory analyses of vermicompost and vermiwash. The results indicate that the treatment consisting of sago pulp with the addition of 50% household organic waste (SP+HOW 50%) produced nitrogen and phosphorus contents that met the requirements of SNI 7763:2024. Overall, the findings indicate that vermicomposting using sago pulp and household organic waste can be applied as a sustainable approach to organic waste management while producing organic fertilizer derived from local resources.
