<![CDATA[The use of agricultural waste as alternative animal feed is one of the strategies for community empowerment in optimizing the potential of local resources. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of the people of Takerharjo Village, Lamongan Regency, in processing corn stem and leaf waste into silage as alternative animal feed. The approach used is Participatory Action Research (PAR) through the stages of identifying potentials and problems, participatory planning, socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The implementation of the program is designed through education and direct practice which includes the selection of raw materials, enumeration, regulation of moisture content, compaction, and storage of materials in anaerobic conditions. Assistance is carried out to provide an understanding of the fermentation process and initial quality inspection of silage. This program is expected to increase the capacity of the community to use agricultural waste productively while introducing simple and applicable forage preservation technology. The use of corn stalks and leaves as silage has the potential to support the availability of feed reserves, reduce unused agricultural waste, and strengthen the integration of agricultural and livestock businesses. The sustainability of the program is directed through skill building, group cooperation, and follow-up mentoring. Empirical evaluation is needed to ensure improved skills, product quality, and economic benefits. This activity offers an appropriate technology-based empowerment approach oriented towards community independence and sustainable management of local resources]]>
