The objective of this study was to test banana stem silage as a substitute for corn on the performance and protein utilization rate of Duroc crosses pigs in the rearing phase. A total of 12 Duroc crosses pigs in the rearing phase with an average initial weight of 51.25 kg (KV = 7.02%). A completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replicates was used in this study. The treatments were T0: ration without a mixture of fermented banana stems (FBS), T1: ration with 5% FBS instead of cornmeal, T2: ration with 10% FBS instead of cornmeal, and T3: ration with 15% FBS instead of cornmeal. The variables measured were ration consumption, daily weight gain, ration utilization and protein utilization efficiency. The results showed that the use of FBS up to 15% (instead of 40% corn) had no effect on ration consumption, daily weight gain, ration utilization and protein utilization efficiency. Therefore, it can be concluded that banana stems can be used at 15% in the ration of Duroc crosses pigs in the rearing phase as a substitute for corn meal.

Tujuan dilaksanakan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui konsumsi dan kecernaan serat kasar dan lemak kasar dari ternak babi yang diberikann suplmentasi ransum dedaunan terfermentasi. Materi yang digunakan 12 ekor babi berumur antara 1-3 bulan dan dengan berat badan awal berkisar antara 5,35 sampai 14,55 kg (KV = 31,67%) dan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Perlakuan meliputi R0: diet basal R1: diet basal ditambah 5% tepung daun singkong fermentasi, R2: diet basal ditambah 5% tepung daun ubi jalar fermentasi, dan R3: diet basal ditambah 5% tepung daun kelor fermentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan perlakuan berpengaruh tidak nyata (P<0,05) terhadap variabel yang diteliti. Disimpulkan bahwa pemberian ransum suplementasi jenis dedaunan terfermentasi pada ternak babi mampu meningkatkan kecernaan serat kasar dan lemak kasar, akan tetapi belum mampu meningkatkan konsumsi serat kasar dan lemak kasar. The purpose of this study was to determine the intake and digestibility of crude fiber,and  crude fat,  of pigs fed fermented leafa ration supplementation. Material used were12 pigs aged between 1-3 months and with initial body weight ranging from 5.35 to 14.55 kg (KV = 31.67%) and Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments included R0: basal diet, R1: basal diet plus 5% fermented cassava leaf flour, R2: basal diet plus 5% fermented sweet potato leaf flour, and R3: basal diet plus 5% fermented moringa leaf flour. The results of this study showed no significant effect (P<0.05) on the variables studied. It was concluded that the supplementation of fermented foliage rations in pigs was able to increase the digestibility of crude fiber and crude fat, but had not been able to increase the intake of crude fiber and crude fat.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using fermented red seaweed (Euchema cottonii) waste flour in the ration on the consumption and digestibility of calcium and phosphorus in the grower phase of landrace crossbreed pigs. 12 pigs aged 3-5 months with an average initial body weight of 49.1kg, with a coefficient of variance of 25.52%. The design used in this study was a RAK consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments tested is R0: 100% basal ration without fermented seaweed waste flour (control), R1: 95% basal ration + 5% fermented seaweed waste flour, R2: 90% basal ration + 10% fermented seaweed waste flour, R3: 85% basal ration + 15% fermented seaweed waste flour. The variables measured were the consumption and digestibility of calcium and phosporous. ANOVA result show that the treatment had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the consumption of P, and the digestibility of Ca and P, but the consumption of Ca had a significant effect (P <0.05). The results of further tests on Ca consumption showed that treatment R3 had a significant effect (P<0.05) on R0 but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on R1 and R2, treatment R2 had a significant effect (P<0.05) on R0 but did not have a significant effect (P>0.05) on R1, the treatment of R1 had no significant effect (P>0.05) on R0. The conclusion of this study is that the use of fermented seaweed waste flour in rations up to a level of 15% has not been able to affect the increase in P consumption and the digestibility of Ca and P, but at the level of 10-15% it can have an effect on calcium consumption in pigs.   Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan tepung limbah rumput laut merah (Euchema cottonii) terfermentasi dalam ransum terhadap konsumsi dan kecernaan kalsium dan fosfor babi peranakan landrace fase grower. Ternak babi sebanyak 12 ekor berumur 3-5 bulan, rataan berat badan awal 49,1kg, dengan koefisien varians 25,523%. Rancangan yang digunakan yakni RAK terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Perlakuan yang diuji yakmi R0: 100% ransum basal tanpa tepung limbah rumput laut terfermentasi (control), R1: 95% ransum basal + 5% tepung limbah rumput laut terfermentasi, R2: 90% ransum basal + 10% tepung limbah rumput laut terfementasi, R3: 85% ransum basal + 15% tepung limbah rumput laut terfermentasi. Variabel yang diukur adalah konsumsi dan kecernaan kalsium dan fosfor. Hasil ANOVA menunjukan perlakuan berpengaruh tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap konsumsi P, dan kecernaan Ca dan P, akan tetapi konsumsi Ca berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05). Hasil uji  lanjut terhadap komsumsi Ca menunjukan bahwa perlakuan R3 berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap R0 tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap R1 dan R2, perlakuan R2 berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap R0 tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap R1, perlakuan R1 berpengaruh tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap R0. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah bahwa penggunaan tepung limbah  rumput laut terfermentasi dalam ransum hingga level 15% belum mampu memberikan pengaruh terhadap kenaikan konsumsi P dan kecernaan Ca dan P, namun pada level 10-15% mampu memberikan pengaruh terhadap konsumsi kalsium pada ternak babi.

The aimed of this study was to determine the effect of Curcuma Xanthorrhiza meal 0%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% on the efficiency of protein use (protein consumption, protein intake, body weight gain and protein efficiency ratio (REP). Twelve castration male pigs aged 3 months with an average body weight of 33.8 kg (CV = 23%). This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with four treatments and three replications. The treatment diets namely: R0 (100% basal diet without curcumin meal), R1 (basal diet + 0.5% curcumin meal), R2 (basal diet + 0.75%  curcumin meal and R3 (basal deat + 1% curcumin meal). The results showed that the addition up to 1% had no significant effect on ration consumption, protein consumption, protein utilization and protein efficiency ratio (PER) (P <0.05). It was concluded that the addition up to 1% curcuma meal could not increased protein efficiency. ABSTRAK Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek penambahan tepung temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) 0%, 0,5%, 0,75% dan 1% dalam ransum terhadap efisiensi penggunaan protein: konsumsi protein, asupan protein, pertambahan bobot badan dan rasio efisiensi protein (REP) ternak babi.  Dua belas ekor babi jantan kastrasi umur 3 bulan dengan bobot badan rata-rata 33,8 kg (CV=23%).  Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) dengan empat perlakuan dan tiga ulangan.  Perlakuan pakan terdiri dari : R0 (100 % ransum basal tanpa tepung temulawak), R1 (ransum basal + 0,5% tepung temulawak), R2 (ransum basal + 0,75% tepung temulawak) dan R3 ransum basal + 1% tepung temulawak).  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penambahan tepung temulawak sampai 1% berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap konsumsi ransum, konsumsi protein, asupan protein  dan Rasio Efisiensi Penggunaan Protein (REP) (P>0,05).  Disimpulkan bahwa penambahan tepung temulawak sampai1% belum mampu meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan protein oleh ternak babi fase pertumbuhan.
