Abstract

Feed plays an important role in providing essential nutrients to livestock, meeting their basic needs for survival and productivity. Feed supply difficulties also occur in East Nusa Tenggara Province more specifically in Ngada Regency, Bajawa District. An effective solution to overcome the challenge of feed availability is to incorporate alternative feed ingredients. One type of agricultural waste that is commonly found is banana stems. Banana trees are widely found in tropical areas such as Indonesia, especially in areas that have many banana trees such as the Bajawa area. The cutting down of banana trees for fruit will produce more waste, such as leaves, stems, stumps, and banana peels, compared to the main product, which is banana pulp. The objectives of this study were to assess the quality of fermented feed produced from banana stems and to effectively utilize banana stem waste. This research was conducted at Flores Bajawa College of Agriculture. The research started in June-August 2024. The research material was about the utilization of fermented banana stems as additional feed in the ration of finisher phase KUB chickens. Banana stems were chopped as much as 30 kg (75% of fresh material) and rice bran 10 kg (25% of fresh material), water 3 liters, brown sugar 500 g, EM4 3 bottle caps. Fermentation of banana stems produced a protein content of 5. 4% and a crude fiber content of 16. 48%. The quality of fermented feed aroma produced is like alcohol, fragrant, yellowish brown color, no mold growth. The conclusion of making fermantasi animal feed made from banana stems is one of the efforts made to add economic value to farmers, in a situation of animal feed crisis. In addition, the content contained in banana stems is sufficient to meet the needs of KUB chickens

Abstract

The prospects for pig farming in Bajawa are very promising, in line with the economic growth and the development of business centers that directly or indirectly support the increase in demand for pork. Several methods can be employed to improve the productivity of pigs in the grower-finisher phase, one of which is through feed improvement by providing alternative ingredients that can enhance nutrient utilization, such as turmeric powder (curcuminoid) as a feed additive. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of turmeric powder (curcuminoid) supplementation at various levels in the basal diet on weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion to determine the optimal level of turmeric powder supplementation in the basal diet and to analyze the economic benefits of using turmeric powder as a natural feed additive. The method of this research is an experimental method where there are 4 treatments and 3 replications between pigs given feed with turmeric powder and pigs given feed without turmeric powder. The variables observed include feed consumption, weight gain, and feed conversion. The level of turmeric powder addition in the basal diet affects the weight gain of pigs and the feed conversion value. Treatment R4 (85% feed and 15% turmeric powder) is the most optimal treatment. The research also shows a significant difference in the weight gain results of the pigs among each treatment, and there is a positive relationship between feed conversion and the weight gain of the pigs with a strong correlation category.
