The problem in using rice bran as animal feed is its low stability due to rancidity of hydrolysis and rancidity of oxidation. In addition, it quickly becomes clumpy and brings in insects, especially lice. The objective of this research was to determine the level of use of mangosteen peel flour in rice bran storage for one month on the physical and chemical qualities of rice bran. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Animal Nutrition and Forage, Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, Pattimura University, Ambon. The materials used are rice bran from Gemba and mangosteen peel. The equipment used is a plastic sack with a size of 5 kg, a digital scale, a blender, a temperature and humidity measuring device. The research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD), 4 x 4. The observed variables included weight, color, odor, moisture content, crude protein, fat, and peroxide number. The follow-up test used if the treatments show significant differences is the Duncan test. The treatments tested were DKM0 = rice bran without mangosteen peel flour; DKM1 = rice bran with 5% mangosteen peel flour; DKM2 = rice bran with 7.5% mangosteen peel flour; DKM3 = Rice bran with 12.5% ​​mangosteen peel flour. The peroxide value of 7.95meq / kg is achieved when using 5% mangosteen peel flour, while at the 10% level it can suppress the smell until it becomes slightly rancid. The use of 15% mangosteen peel flour was not significant for color, fungus, protein moisture, fat and peroxide numbers.

The objective of the study was to determine in-vitro digestibility of complete ration biscuit using sago pith as adhesive substance. The experiment was arranged in Complete Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments were P1 (50% mini elephant grass+ 20%  leucaena + 30% sago pith + 0% rice bran), P2 (50% mini elephant grass+ 20%  leucaena + 25% sago pith + 5% rice bran), P3 (50% mini elephant grass+ 20%  leucaena + 20% sago pith +10% rice bran ) and P4 (50% mini elephant grass+ 20%  leucaena + 15% sago pith + 15% rice bran). Variables measured were digestibility of dry (DM) and organic matter (OM), NH3 level, total volatile fatty acid (VFA), and rumen pH. The results show that the treatment has no significant effect on vitro digestibility of dry and organic matter. In vitro -digestibility is ranging from   90.7 – 91.4% and 87.5 – 88.4 % for DM and OM, respectively. In-vitro test on complete ration biscuit which consists of sago pith, rice bran, mini elephant grass and leucaena leucocephala has no significant  (P>0.05) on NH3 level, total volatile fatty acid and rumen pH. In conclusion, sago pith can be potentially used as adhesive substance in formulating complete ration biscuit.

The purpose of this research isthe use of brown sugar in the research is done in order to fix the composition of the nutrition due to the difference of nutrition in the feed and the one required by the quails. This research is done in Ambon for the period of one month that were carried in January until February 2020. The components that used in this research are: 75 Quails with 5 months of age that are divided into 3 flocks, Eggs Producing Chicken Feed Par L, and Brown Sugar.The variables that are measured in this research are: feed consumption, water consumption, number of produced eggs, and the weight of the eggs. The design that is used for this research is a Completely Randomized Design. The result of this research in regards to adding brown sugar in quails drinking water shows  that: the treatment without adding brown sugar in the water (Control P0) did not shows any real difference with adding 1% of brown sugar to the water (P1) and adding 2% of brown sugar to the water (P2). The adding of 1% of brown sugar to the water (P1) shows a significant difference with adding 2% of brown sugar to the water (P2). Furthermore, water consumption, eggs production, and the weight of produced eggs does not show any difference between all of the tested treatments.

Limbah ikan merupakan buangan/sisa hasil usaha dan/atau kegiatan, jika limbah tersebut tidak ditangani dengan baik maka dapat mencemari lingkungan hidup. Limbah ikan seperti insang dan jeroan merupakan sumber protein yang memiliki potensi untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai produk bahan pakan tambahan bagi broiler. Penelitiian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui performa broiler yang diberi kombinasi limbah ikan yang berbeda sebagai bahan pakan pada pemeliharaan selama 28 hari. Materi penelitian yaitu DOC broiler jumbo 747 sebanyak 90 ekor, pakan komersil, dan limbah ikan (jeroan dan insang). Metode penelitian yaitu Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) terdiri dari 3 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Setiap ulangan berisi 10 ekor broiler. Ketiga perlakuan terdiri dari pakan komersil tanpa limbah ikan (L0), pakan komersil 93% dengan limbah ikan 7% (L1), dan pakan komersil 86% dengan limbah ikan 14% (L2). Variabel yang diamati adalah konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi pakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rataan konsumsi pakan berada pada kisaran L0 = 2.010±1,0 gr/ekor hingga L1 = 2.052±66,6 gr/ekor, rataan pertambahan bobot badan pada kisaran L0=1.515±52,4 gr/ekor hingga L2=1.578±62,0 gr/ekor, rataan konversi pakan berada pada kisaran L2=1.34±0.046 hingga L1=1.36±0.051. Analisis ragam menunjukkan kombinasi limbah ikan dengan pakan komersil memberikan pengaruh yang tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan limbah ikan (jeroan dan insang) hingga level 14% tidak mempengaruhi performa broiler.

The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of using coconut water and palm sugar in drinking water to the growth of broiler. The result of this research could be used as information for the farmers and other users in utilizing coconut water and brown sugar increasing the growth of broiler. This research is an experiment that uses a Complete Random Design with 3 treatments and 5 repetitions which are treatments P0 = Feed + Regular water (Controlled); P1 = Feed + Coconut Water; P2 = Feed + Palm Sugar Water. The variables that are observed are: water consumptions, feed consumptions, weight gain and food conversion. Research result shows that water consumption has an apparent difference, feed consumption has no apparent difference, weight gain shows an apparent difference, and food convection shows apparent difference. Research.result shows that utilizing 1% coconut water and brown sugar for broiler  has a good result, despite has not yet shows any effects on the amounts of consumed ration or the ration convection. Based on this research it is suggested, to increase the growth and weight of  broiler utilize 1% of brown sugar in the chicken’s drinking water.
