This study was conducted from January to March 2013 in the Laboratory of Nutrition and Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry of the State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau and analysis of the nutrient content in Ruminant Nutrition Laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Andalas University in Padang. This study aimed to determine the effect of buffalo feces with different levels of fermentation fruit oil palm fiber (SBKS) for 21 day against pH, fermentation quality, dry matter content, crude fiber, crude protein, ash and BETN. The method used in this study is completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment given is the number of buffalo feces levels (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%). The results showed that the addition of up to 30% buffalo feces fermentation SBKS gave highly significant effect (P <0.0 l) on the pH, but not significant effect (P> 0.05) increase levels of dry matter, crude protein and BETN, and declining levels of crude fiber and crude fat levels.

The influence of administration of FOPFE (Fermented Oil Palm Fronds Extract) on digestibility and goat performance of Kacang goat is the aims of this study. The fermentation process of oil palm fronds is carried out by adding 10% poultry manure for 21 days with, then extracted with methanol solvent. Twelve male goats>1 year were used in this research, were placed in a metabolic caged which were equipped with feedbox and drink. Randomized block design, 4 treatments with 3 groups was used in this research namely : P0 = complete ration + 0% FOPFE; P1 = complete ration + 0.1% FOPFE; P2 = complete ration + 0.2% FOPFE and P3 = complete ration + 0.3% FOPFE. The measured parameters were digestibility of nutrient (organic matter, dry matter, crude fiber, crude protein, extract eter, ADF, NDF, hemicellulose and cellulose) and goat performance of kacang goats (body weight gain, intake of dry matter, body weight gain, conversion of feed and efficiency of ration). The results showed that FOPFE to 0.3% has no significant effect (P>0.05) on average daily gain, nutrient digestibility, feed conversion and feed efficiency but significantly effect (P<0.05) on goat performance. The administration of 0.3% of FOPFE can maintain nutrient digestibility and goat performance.

Tanjung Kepulauan Meranti Village, Riau has production large sago plants so that the waste is used as animal feed with pellet technology. The purpose of this service to utilize sago pulp that has not been used as feed of broiler. The service method uses PAR, which is a method of involving community groups as  whole in research activities so that positive social change occurs. The results show that community groups are very enthusiastic about participating in community service activities with indicators the ease with which community groups understand the material provided. Some of  the material conveyed that sago pulp can be fermented to increase nutritional value, especially protein and reduce crude fiber, then fermented sago pulp can be used as broiler feed pellets. In conclusion, sago pulp can be used as a pellet product at a low price as an alternative to commercial pellet  feed to reduce costs in broiler  farming

This research was conducted to determine physical quality, the nutritional quality and characteristics of antimicrobial compounds from fermented oil palm fronds (FOPF). This research was carried out using a Complete Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The following treatments were performed by the addition of different additives namely: 10% poultry manure, 10% cow feces, 5% urea and 5% molasses. All treatments were extracted in stages using n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. The observed parameters were physical quality (pH, aroma, color, and texture), nutritional quality (neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin), yield of extract, class of bioactive compounds and the antimicrobial activity test of extracted compounds. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance and differences between treatments were tested using Duncan's multiple range test. The addition of different additives has a very significant effect (P < 0.01) on the lignin content; significant effect (P < 0.05) on pH, aroma, color and texture; and no effect on the content of NDF, ADF, hemicellulose and cellulose. The highest yield of extract was obtained from methanol extract with the addition of poultry manure. The methanol extract on the addition of poultry manure and urea were identified as compounds in the steroid, tannin and phenolic classes. The highest antimicrobial activity test against Escherichia coli (12.83 mm) was obtained from FOPF extract (1%) with addition of poultry manure, while highest antimicrobial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus (11.67 mm) was obtained from FOPF extract (4%) with addition of molasses. The conclusion of this research was FOPF with addition of poultry manure provides good physical quality, nutritional quality and can inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus at a concentration of 1%.
