PENGARUH DOSIS UREA DALAM AMONIASI DAUN NENAS VARIETAS SMOOTH CAYENE TERHADAP KADAR BAHAN KERING, ABU, DAN SERAT KASAR
ABSTRACT: Lampung Province as
a livestock area resulted in needed for food supplies that available onfollow
throughout the years, so the attempted of feed based on agriculture waste
industry, one of themis pineapple leaves. However, the pineapple leaves in a
fresh condition have a high crude fiber contentand low protein content.
Therefore, the pineapple leaves will be ammoniateed with urea addition
atdifferent dosages in order to lessen the high fiber content. This study aimed
to determine the effect ofurea and the best dosage on ammoniation of pineapple
leaves of Smooth cayene variety onorganoleptic (color, texture, smell), dry
matter, ash, and crude fiber content.This study was held in the Laboratory of
Animal Nutrition and Feed, Department of AnimalHusbandry, Faculty of
Agriculture, Lampung University and pineapple leaves samples obtained fromPT
Great Giant Pineapple, Terbanggi Besar, Central Lampung. The treatments using a
CompletelyRandomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications.
The treatments consist of ureaaddition at a dosage of 0%; 1,5%; 3% and 4,5%.
The observation data were analyzed by usingvariance analysis with significant
level of 5% and or 1%, and will be followed by the Least SignificantDifference
test (LSD) if the value of the variance analysis showed the significant
result.The results of this study showed that urea addition at different
dossages had no significant effect(P>0,05) on organoleptic (color, texture, smell)
and crude fiber content of pineapple leaves, butsignificantly (P<0,05) to
the ash content and was highly significant (P<0,01) to the dry matter.
Thebest treatment on ammoniation of pineapple leaves of Smooth cayenne variety
is urea addition atdosage of 1,5%.
