Evaluasi kandungan bahan kering, bahan organik dan protein kasar pelepah sawit fermentasi dengan penambahan sumber karbohidrat

This research aimed to evaluate the useful of palm oil fronds as feed substitution of grass. The feeding have enhanced the quality through fermented biotechnology innovations with the addition of soluble carbohydrates. The complete randomized design of 2 x 3 factorial pattern with 3 replications for each treatment have used as experimental design. Factor A was the source of fermentation inoculum ; A1 =. Local microorganism of rumen contents, A2 = Lactobacillus bacteria. Factor B was the source of soluble carbohydrate; B1 = no carbohydrate source, B2 = rice bran, B3 = tapioca flour. The parameters was the content of dry matter, organic matter, and crude protein. The resulted of this research shown that no interaction effect between the source of microorganism with the carbohydrate, and no effect the treatment on the dry matter (P>0.05). Meanwhile the factor B was significant effect (P<00.1) on the organic matter and crude protein. The highest crude protein on the fermented palm oil frond by adding the rice brain as soluble carbohydrate.
