Sago processing as local food continues, however, the sago pulp is not utilized optimally even unused so that there is a buildup of sago pulp waste which is increasing and can pollute the environment. This research aimed to investigate the potentials of sago pulp which could be used as the feeds of goat livestock, investigating the increase of the bodyweight of goat livestock; and investigating the effect of the use of sago pulp fermentation on the efficiency consumption, palatability, KcBK, given to kacang goat livestock. The research was conducted in Merauke Regency by using 12 kacang goats. The research was conducted for 2 months from May through July 2018. The goats were given three types of treatments and were divided into four groups (T0 T1 and T2) with the following model: T0 as the control group and received 100% of grass, T1 as the control + 20% of sago pulp fermentation and T2 as the control + 30% of sago pulp fermentation. The method used was Randomized Block Design (RBD), and the Variance analysis was used to analyze the efficiency of the feed of sago pulp waste, the level of palatability, the digestibility of dry matters (KcBK), and the body weight gain of the livestock. And in order to look at the effect of the feeds before and after the treatments, a T-test was used. The research results indicated that the increases in the body weight of the male kacang goats treated with 20% and 30% were 7. 05 kg and 12. 3 kg, respectively. The treatments using the sago pulp fermentation at the level of 20% and 30% were lower (5.9 kg) of the 30% group and (4.48) of the 20% group, compared to that of the control group (6.7 kg), A significant difference was also shown between the body weights of the male goats and female goats (12.3 kg and 5.9 kg respectively. The feed consumption of the kacang goats in the 30% treatment was 28.930 gr better than the control group which was 22.370 gr, and the treatment with 30% of sago pulp fermentation was more efficient 13.1 % compared to the control group which had only 7.87%. The KcBK in kacang goats showed an increase of digestibly of the dry matter in the 30% treated male goats were significantly different (63.25%) compared to that in the 30% female goats (59. 40%). This proved that the addition of sago pulp fermentation given to the kacang goats could increase the body weight, feed efficiency, palatability level and therefore it could be used as the substitute feeds in the dry season.
Peanuts or Latin Arachis hypoghea is one of the crops of palawija that has long been known to our farmers as a production plant. One of the causes that inhibits peanut productivity is because the planting process is still done manually using human power. To overcome this, the system was designed to design a tool for planting peanuts mechanically. The design of this equipment begins with the size and shape of the instrument itself with the aim of producing a peanut plant that works in human thrust strength, this study brings significance to farmers to save costs to pay workers, otherwise farmers work efficiently and effectively.
The existing nutmeg pulp herbal tea is produced from slice process which resulted with hard and big particle size of the powder. It is estimated to negatively affect the packaging process and defective product might be possible to occur when distribution taking place. Consequently, the study need to be done to produce nutmeg pulp herbal tea with small particle size of the powder using shredding method and define one of its substance quantity, Vitamin C as the comparable data towards the existing nutmeg pulp herbal tea product. The study reveals that the tea powder produced from shredding method is greatly smaller than slice method. Idiometri titration analysis of 5 nutmeg pulp herbal tea produced from shredding method samples shows that the average quantity of Vitamin C quantity is less significant than slice method which is only 3.514%. Thus, shredding method produces small particle size of nutmeg pulp herbal tea powder and containing less Vitamin C.
