Banana peels not much optimally used as a substitute for grass. In 2014 the production of banana peels waste Riau province reaches 7.586 ton. More than a third of the banana that has not been in the strip is banana peels. The purpose of this study to determine the effect with different rice bran level and fermentation time of the fiber fraction silage that includes the content of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), hemicellulose, and cellulose. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Nutrition Science and Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Science State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau Pekanbaru. The research was conducted in April until September 2016. This study were an experimental study using a completely randomized design pattern Factorial consisting of rice bran level (0; 5; and 10%) and fermentation time (0; 14; and 28 days), each treatment was repeated 2 times. There were no significant differences (P>0,05) in NDF, ADF, ADL, hemicelluloses, and cellulose. It can be concluded that there is not interaction between rice bran level and fermentation time toward fiber fraction of banana peels silage.

ABSTRAKPeforma burung puyuh yang baik membutuhkan pakan dan manajemen pakan yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan  mengetahui performa burung puyuh periode grower yang diberi pakan berbahan tepung daun ubi kayu meliputi konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi ransum dan nilai IOFC (Income over feed cost). Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 Perlakuan (T0 = Ransum tanpa penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu, T1= 3% penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu, T2= 6% penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu dan T3= 9% penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu) dan 4 ulangan. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu dengan level 0%, 3%, 6% dan 9% berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap konsumsi ransum puyuh, sedangkan penggunaan tepung daun ubi kayu dalam ransum puyuh tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum puyuh. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu hingga level 9% mampu meningkatkan konsumsi ransum, tetapi belum mampu meningkatkan pertambahan bobot badan, nilai IOFC (Income over feed cost) dan menurunkan konversi ransum.

Kacang goat (Capra hircus) is one of Indonesian germ plasm and kept by smallholders for meat production. This research was carried out to obtain the growth curve of body weight from 1 to 24 months of age in Kacang goats managed by smallholders at Tambang District of Indonesia. Total of 100 goats (51 buck and 49 does) were used in this study to obtain Logistic and Gompertz growth curves. Research showed that the Logistic and Gompertz growth curve have similar of coefficient of determination value (R 2 = 0.98). However, the standard error (SE) value in Gompertz was lower than Logistic curves. The inflection weight (IW) was reached of 13.16 to 15.30 kg (Logistic) and 12.76 to 14.41 kg (Gompertz). The inflection age (IA) was reached of 12.95 to 15.57 months (Logistic) and 12.71 to14.41 months (Gompertz). The growth rate (GR) were reached of 1.06 to 1.23 kg/month (Logistic) and 1.02 to 1.10 kg/ month (Gompertz). It was concluded that Gompertz growth curve was the best predictor to predict body weight in Kacang goats.

The aim of this research is to determine of the wafer of performance of rabbits during the growth period given wafer sweet potato leaves waste with various levels of molasses. In The result showed that the treatment in this experiment had no significant effect (P>0.05) on feed consumption, average daily gain, feed conversion. The conclusion of this experiment is that giving molasses to complete ration wafers up to the level of 15 % in the rabbit unable to increase feed consumption (g/head/day), body weight (g/head/day) and feed conversion.

Shrimp waste has high protein to be used as broiler feed. The purpose of this study was to determine the addition of shrimp waste flour into basal ration to carcass weight, life weight, percentage of carcass and abdominal fat in broilers aged between 14 to 35 days. This study used 60 unsexing 1 day-old chicks of  Cobb strains) and kept from the age of 0-13 days feed commercial rations while those aged 14-35 days were feed basal rations. A completely radomized design (CRD) was applied with four treatments and five replications consisting three chickens each. The treatments were P0 (ration + 0% shrimp waste flour), P1 (ration + 2.5% shrimp waste flour), P2 ration + 5% shrimp was flour  and P3( ration + 7.5 % shrimp was flour). The results of this study indicated that the addition of shrimp waste flour up to the level of 7.5% has a very significant effect on carcass weight, carcass percentage, abdominal fat of broilers aged between 14 to 35 days. It is concluded that the addition of shrimp waste flour to the level of 7,5% into the ration has improved broiler carcass
