Abstract. Recently, fermentation of low quality feed such as agro industry by products has been widely applied to produce enriched animal feed and improve animal productivity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro digestibility of fermented complete feed using agro-residues from sago starch processing industries as main source diet. Feed was formulated on the basis of 40% sago residue and mixed with other ingredients (rice brand, coconut meal, bread by product, soybean meal and soybean hulls) to fulfill the requirement of sheep with 16.10% of CP, 2.80 Mcal ME/kg and TDN 60.88% based on calculation. Mineral and Urea were added in the complete feed to reach mineral and CP requirements of sheep. Complete feed formulation was fermented by using 3 commercial fermentation products (Saus Burger Pakan® (SBP), Probion® and EM4®) for 21 days. Total and types of microbes from commercial fermentation products utilized in this study were not determined. Parameters measured in this study were pH, NH3, IVDMD (in vitro dry matter digestibility), IVOMD (in vitro organic matter digestibility) and VFA total. The model used for the statistical analysis was completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments (control and 3 different commercial fermentation products) and 4 replications. Result indicated that administration of different commercial fermentation products into fermented complete feed based on sago residues significantly influenced (P<0.05) on pH, NH3, VFA total, IVDMD and IVOMD. Generally, commercial fermentation products mainly SBP produced better feed quality by improving the values of pH, NH3, VFA total, IVDMD and IVOMD. However, types and total microorganisms needed to be determined prior to experiment.
Key Words: fermentation, sago waste, in vitro, complete feedAbstrak. Akhir-akhir ini penggunaan bahan pakan berkualitas rendah yang berasal dari limbah industri pertanian telah diterapkan secara luas yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pakan dan produktivitas ternak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi complete feed fermentasi berbahan dasar ampas sagu secara in vitro. Pakan diformulasikan dengan menggunakan 40% ampas sagu dan dicampur dengan bahan pakan lainnya (dedak, bungkil kelapa, sisa roti, bungkil kedelai dan kulit ari kedela) untuk memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi domba (16,10% of PK, 2,80 Mkal ME/kg and TDN 60,88%). Mineral adan urea ditambah pada complete feed untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mineral dan protein dari ternak domba. Complete feed yang telah diformulasi difermentasi dengan menggunakan 3 produk fermentasi komersil (Saus Burger Pakan® (SBP), Probion® and EM4®) selama 21 hari. Total dan jenis mikro organisme dalam produk fermentasi komersil tidak dihitung. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap yang terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Parameter yang dihitung dalam penelitian ini adalah pH, NH3, total VFA dan kecernaan bahan kering dan kecernaan bahan organik. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa fermentasi complete feed dengan menggunakan produk fermentasi komer...
