In increasing fish farming production, it is very dependent on the availability of fish feed which has recently been expensive. To overcome this, was necessary to find alternative feeds that have nutritional value according to the needs of cultivated organisms. Maggot (Hermetia illucens Linn.) is a black soldier fly larvae that has a chewy texture, high protein and has the ability to secrete natural enzymes that help improve the digestive system of fish. . The aimed of this research was to find out the amount of maggot (H. illucens Linn.) production in several cultivation media with different treatments. The results of the study found that it took up to 2 weeks to produce maggot that had ready to be used as feed. Maggot had the potential to be cultivated as an alternative to fish feed.
The purpose of this study was to determine the best culture medium for producing maggot (Hermetia illucens) and to determine the production quantity in each different medium. This research was controlled two times a day at 09:00 a.m. and 16:00 p.m. Cultivation media were prepared from coconut pulp, tofu pulp, rice bran and restaurant wastes. Each medium was weighed as much as one kg and then placed into a culture container. The research used Completely Randomized Design consisting of 4 treatments, each with three replications. The parameters observed consisted of temperature and pH of the media measured at 07.00 am and 17.00 pm, and maggot production measured on the last day. During the ten days of experiment, the production of maggot in the treatment using restaurant waste media was significantly different as compared to other treatments. This study found that a good medium for the production of maggot was prepared using restaurant waste. Keywords: Hermetia illucens, coconut pulp, restaurant waste
The field work training of silk worm culture was done in one month at Balai Perikanan Budidaya Air Tawar Tatelu (BPBAT), Province of North Sulawesi, from May to June, 2016. The media used are poultry dung (chicken manure) and EM4 with a flowing water system and fed with additional tofu waste. The initial spread of silk worm seeds was 75 g / m2, and the results obtained were silk worm biomass of 150 g / m2, with the measurement of water quality parameters for DO, temperature and pH are respectively 1.61 ppm, 24.4-27.7° C and 6.1-7.3.Keywords: aquaculture, life feed, silk worm, Tubifex sp., water quality
This study aimed to determine the effect of providing a combination of natural feed maggots and pellets on the growth performance of Nile Tilapia and to ratio between maggots and pellets that promote growth of Nile Tilapia. The research was conducted from June to August 2020. The research method was using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications with the following treatments: treatment A = 100% pellets, treatment B = 75% pellets and 25% maggots, treatment C = 50% pellets and 50% maggot, treatment D = 25% pellets and 75% maggot, treatment E = 100% maggot. The test fish used Nile Tilapia fingerling with average weighing 4 g / fish with density of 5 fish / container and maintained for 21 days. The containers used in this study were 15 plastic trays with a diameter of 40 cm and a height of 20 cm each with a water capacity of 15 liters. Growth performance data were Weight gain (WG), Specific growth rate (SGR), relative growth rate (SGR), feed convertion rate (FCR) and feed intake (FI). Based on the results of this study, it shows that the use of a combination of pellet and maggot feed as Nile tilapia juvenile has an effect on the growth performance of Nile tilapia so that maggot can be used as an alternative feed that has high nutritional content for tilapia fish cultivation. The treatment that gave the best growth effect on tilapia seeds was found at the dose of a combination of 50% pellet feed + 50% maggot, with Weight gain (5.5±1.1g), SGR (3.7±0.5%), RGR (139.4±53.4) and FCR (1.2±0.2)
The purpose of this study was to analyze the use of cattle dung on the growth and biomass of silk worms. The experiment was conducted at Freshwater Aquaculture Center (BPBAT) Tatelu, Tatelu Village, Dimembe Subdistrict, North Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province, about 35 km from Manado city. The media used was pig manure, chicken manure, cow dung, and fine mud added with EM4. The method used was complete randomized design (RAL) with 4 treatments including A. 500 g of pig manure, 500 g of chicken manure 500 g of cow dung, and 500 g of fine mud; B. 600 g of pig manure, 400 g of chicken manure 500 g of cow dung, 500 g of fine mud; C. 700 g of pig manure, 300 g of chicken manure, 500 g of cow dung, 500 g of fine mud; and K (control) was 2000 g of fine mudinand, each with 3 replications. Water quality parameters measured during the study were temperature, pH, DO, nitrate and nitrite. The results showed that there was a very significant effect on growth but not for the value of silk worm biomass. The highest growth was found in treatment A that was 38 g, while for the highest biomass also in treatment A namely 1.5 g / cm3. Water quality parameters during the study were 24.3-25.4° C, pH 7,1-7,3; DO 2.7-5,7 ppm; nitrate 1.1-1.4 ppm; nitrite 0.011-0.201 ppm.Keywords: Cattle dung, growth, biomass, Tubifex sp., aquaculture
