KUALITAS NUTRISI SILASE LIMBAH PISANG (BATANG DAN BONGGOL) DAN LEVEL MOLASES YANG BERBEDA SEBAGAI PAKAN ALTERNATIF TERNAK RUMINANSIA
Abstract: Stem and stump of
bananas have potential to be used as an alternative for ruminant feed. However,
one of the problem is its rapidly decomposing which affect high of water
content. The alternative way to solve this matter by using silage. The aim of
this study was to determine the nutritional quality of banana waste silage
(stems and stump) with the addition of molasses with different levels. The
experimental design was a Completely Randomized Design in factorial 3 × 3 with
two replications. The first factor (A) was the composition of the substrate,
A1: stump 100% + stem 0%, A2: stump 50% + stem 50%, and A3: stump 0% + stem
100%, while the second factor (B) was the levels of molasses (0; 2.5; and 5%).
The parameters measured were dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, extract
ether, ash and BETN. The results showed that the composition of the substrate
has significant effect (P<0.05) increased content of dry matter, crude
protein, crude fiber, BETN, but did not significant (P>0.05) on extract
ether and ash content. There was an interaction (P<0.05) between the
substrate composition and the addition of molasses on the content of the ash.
The best composition for increasing the nutrient content was stump 100% +
stemps 0%. It is conclude that the compostion of stump and stemps may affect the
nutrient quality of silage.
