Effect of molasses addition to complete calf starter (CCS) and the following pellet processing was evaluated with 12 Holstein-Friesian (HF) calves (7-14 d old with 42 ± 5.5 kg average BW), with 6 calves (replicate) per treatment. The CCS was formulated with 65% concentrate calf starter and 35% local corn fodder. On the CCS, molasses was added either 5% (M5) or 10% (M10), then the mixture was pelleted and fed to the calves for 7 weeks. Molasses addition, regardless of addition level, improved (p<0.05) both the durability and hardness of the pellet which contains 35% of high fibrous local corn fodder. Upon feeding to calves, the feed intake and daily gain were numerically higher with 5% molasses addition compared to 10% molasses addition. Blood VFA level was remarkably higher (p<0.01) in calves fed M10 than calves fed M5. There was no difference (p>0.05) in blood glucose level between M5 and M10. Length and number of papillae were not different (p>0.05) by the addition levels of molasses. However, there was one exception in number of papillae at caudo-dorsal sac which were higher (p<0.05) number in M5 than M10 calves. Considering the quality of CCS pellet, calf performance and rumen development, there was no additional benefit of 10% molasses addition compared to 5%. From the results of this study, 5% molasses addition could be recommended for local farmer when they utilize local corn fodder to make CCS for HF calves in Indonesia.

This research was conducted to processed the waste feed into a feed mill potentially probiotic functional seen a total of fungi, molds and yeasts and the types of protein biomass increase. The material used in the study were the starter starfung, distilled water and waste feed mill feed. The tools used in the study were an oven, thermometer, drying cabinets, pH meters, moisture meter grand. Research using Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) is 4 treatments with 4 replications. The treatment used T0 = Feed + (Starter 'Starfung' 0%); T1 = Feed + (Starter 'starfung' 1%); T2 = Feed + (Starter 'Starfung' 3%); T3 = Feed + (Starter 'Starfung' 2%). The parameter is were observed total fungi, the type of mold fungi and yeasts. The data total fungi analyzed using analysis of variance and multiple regions continued with Duncan's test to determine differences between treatments. Based on the results of the study showed that the feed mill waste fermentation with starter cedar starfung no significant effect (p> 0.05) of total fungi. AverageAverage total fungi on treatment T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively -also is 1,77x10

The research objective is assessing the effect of adding various level of probiotic pollard on total fungi, type of mold and yeast. The material used in this research were fermented vegetables waste , molasses, distilled water, pollard, super native chicken's feed, physiological NaCl (0.85% NaCl) and sabaroud glucose agar (SGA). Research using completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment used were T0 = 100% feed + 0% probiotic pollard, T1 = 90% feed + 10% probiotic pollard, T2 = 80% feed + 20% probiotic pollard and T3 = 70% feed + 30% probiotic pollard. The observed parameters were total fungi, type of molds and yeast. The average of total fungi are 0 CFU; 0,55 x 10 7 CFU; 0,55 x 10 7 CFU and 0 CFU. Type of mold is Aspergillus niger and none yeast have grown. The conclusion is the addition of 10% and 20% probiotic pollard to super native chicken's pellet yield mold type Aspergillus niger as much 0,55 x 10 7 CFU.

ABSTRACT:The aims of the research was to evaluate the digestibility in vitro of dry matter and organic matter, the contents of protein crude and contents of HCN in cassava peel which were treated by fermentation, ammoniation, and fermentation ammoniation (amofer). Materials used in this research were cassava peel, EM4, urea, bran, HCL pepsin, rumen goat's liqour and Mc Dougall butter solution. Oven, analytical balance, pH meter, glass beaker tube of CO2 gas, water bath, funnels, tube fermentor, centrifuges, ovens and thermos were used as the research equipment. This research consisted of 4 treatments and 4 replicators, (T0: Control; T1: Ammoniation; T2: Fermentation and T3: Ammonation Fermentation (Amofer). Data were analyzed using completely randomized design (CRD) and were continued by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The result of the research showed that dry matter content of T0, T1, T2 and T3 was 25.29, 50.69, 54.75 and 61.87% respectively. Organic matter digestibility contents of T0, T1, T2 and T3 was 23.52, 48.59, 2.62 and 61.87% respectively. Crude protein contents of T0, T1, T2 and T3 were 9.12, 22.28, 13.91 and 23,31% respectively. HCN content of T0, T1, T2 and T3 were 580.93, 3.10, 1.16 and 0.43 ppm respectively. The study showed that the treatment in T1, T2 and T3 had a significant effect (p>0.01) on dry matter and organic matter, crude protein and HCN. The conclusion of this research was that amofer treatment could increase dry matter and organic matter, crude protein and could reduce the levels of HCN in cassava peel.

The research aims to examine the effect of the use of seaweed in rabbit feed pellets on the level of hardness, durability and organoleptic pellets. The materials used are Sargassum sp. Flour, yellow corn flour, pollard, soybean meal, wheat brand, rice bran, coffee husk, coconut cake, molasses, minerals and salt. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments namely T0 = feed with Sargassum sp. 0%, T1 = feed with Sargassum sp. 4% and T2 = feed with Sargassum sp. 8% and 6 replications. The parameters observed were level of hardness, durability, color, texture and pellet aroma. Data analysis used analysis of variance at the 5% level and continued with duncan double region test. The results showed that the use of Sargassum sp. significant effect (P <0.05) reduced the hardness, color, texture, and aroma scores, but did not significantly affect the durability of rabbit feed pellets. The average hardness of treatments T0, T1 and T2 are 13.50; 12,13 and 11,17 kg, the average durability of the treatments T0, T1 and T2 are 94.88; 95.13 and 95.38%, the average color score of the treatments T0, T2, and T1 are 4.00; 3.01; 3.00, the average texture scores of treatments T0, T1 and T2 are 2.88; 2.83; 2.20 and the average aroma score of the treatments T0, T1 and T2 are 4.00; 3.69; and 3.64. The conclusion of the research are the use of Sargassum sp. up to 8% can reduce the level of pellet hardness, the value of pellet durability is good, the color is blackish brown, the texture of the pellet is getting rough and the aroma of pellet is rather fishy.
