The research was carried out at the Basic Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Warmadewa University with a level of use of fermented coconut pulp, namely R0 (ration that contains no fermented coconut pulp, R1 (ration containing 5% fermented coconut pulp flour), R2 (ration containing 10 % fermented coconut pulp) and R3 (rations containing 15% fermented coconut pulp). Each combination of treatments was repeated three (3) times, and each replication consisted of 4 super female free-range chickens. Variables observed included: 1). Age of chicken growth includes the weight gain and final weight of super free-range chicken, 2) Percentage of carcass and non-carcasses for super free-range chicken, 3) Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR, and 4) Feed consumption. From this study it was found that the giving of coconut pulp flour was fermented up to 10% (R2) significantly (P<0.05) could increase weight gain and final weight and flour dregs fermented coconut to the level of 10% also decreases ration consumption and the conversion of ration for super female chicken 14 weeks old.

ABSTRAKSalah satu faktor yang memegang peranan penting dalam meningkatkan produksi ternak ruminansia adalah tersedianya hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas sepanjang tahun. Hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas terutama terdiri dari rumput rumputan sebagai sumber energi dan leguminosa sebagai sumber protein. Di Indonesia, khususnya di Bali, petani ternak masih banyak memanfaatkan rumput lapangan sebagai pakan ternaknya, karena lahan yang khusus dipergunakan untuk menanam rumput tidaklah memadai. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pertanaman campuran rumput dengan legume. Untuk menghasilkan produksi yang optimum maka perlu dilakukan pemupukan. Pemupukan yang dapat dilakukan oleh petani tanpa mengeluarkan biaya tambahan adalah pemberian pupuk organik kompos dan biourine. Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan dari bulan Nopember 2015 sampai dengan Pebruari 2016. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok pola faktorial 3x2, dengan 3 faktor jenis tanaman: Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott tanpa legume (Rt); ditanam bersama sentro (Rs) dan ditanam bersama dengan kalopo (Rk): dan 2 jenis pupuk yang digunakan adalah pupuk kompos (K) dan pupuk biourine (B). Masing-masing kombinasi perlakuan diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda sangat nyata untuk parameter produksi total hijauan segar dan kering, jumlah anakan dan jumlah daun Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott serta komposisi botani pemotongan pertama sedangkan untuk tinggi tanaman Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda tidak nyata Pengaruh yang nyata juga diberikan jenis tanaman terhadap kandungan protein Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata untuk kandungan serat kasar Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pertanaman campuran Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott dengan leguminosa mampu meningkatkan produksi dan kualitas hijauan.Kata kunci: rumput gajah kate, leguminosa, produksi, kualitas hijauan

The current condition of agricultural land in Indonesia, both wetlands and highlands, have low organic matter. The role of biochar to increase crop productivity is influenced by the amount of biochar added. Sorghum is a plant that can be used from stems, leaves, and fruit as animal feed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the productivity and nutritional content of sorghum given biochar with different doses. This research is a one-factor experiment with the simple randomized block design. The treatments tested were biochar doses with 6 dose levels, namely: P0 (without biochar), P1 (3 ton ha-1), P2 (6 ton ha-1), P3 (9 ton ha-1), P4 (12 ton ha-1) and P5 (15 ton ha-1). Plant variables observed were the number of leaves and plant height, fresh forage production, dry matter production, and seed production per hectare, as well as the nutritional quality of sorghum such as crude protein, crude fiber, ash content, and dry matter content. The results showed that there was no significant effect on the variable number of leaves and plant height, crude protein, crude fiber, ash content, and forage, but significantly affected the variables of fresh forage production, dry matter production and grain yield per hectare. From this study, it can be concluded that the application of biochar dosage 9 ton ha-1 provides the best results for the production of fresh forage, dry material production and seed production per hectare.

Coconut shells or coconut shells may not be useful for most people, but craftsmen in Sidan Village, Gianyar District, Gianyar Regency, Bali can produce various kinds of tools for Hindu religious ceremonies. Coconut shell crafts are also widely used as souvenirs for tourists who come to Bali. The community service program is carried out in the trading business and the production of ceremonial tools from coconut shell "Uma Sari" which is located in Sidan Village, Gianyar District, Gianyar Regency, Bali Province. Uma Sari is a partner owned by I Wayan Lanus as well as a coconut shell craft maker / craftsman. Mr. I Wayan Lanus started pioneering his work in 2016. He has acquired this skill from generation to generation among his extended family. The basic contribution of this program is to increase production capacity, increase online marketing, increase the quality of human resources, increase turnover and company assets.
