Technology of Animal Feed Processing (Fermentation and Silage) in Bilah Hulu Village, Labuhan Batu Regency

Abstract

The specific target in this activity was to introduce fermentation and silage methodology to improve the quality of animal feed to Mekar Baru stock farmers cooperatives in Labuhan Batu Regency. Seminars and discussions were conducted as parts of the community service which then followed up by direct practice about animal feed fermentation and silage. The results of the mentioned activities included seminars, discussion, and fodder. In conclusion, the technology of animal feed processing is in a high favorand needed by people in the village, especially beef cattle farmers whose livestock was only given green animal feed all this time.

Effects of corn particle size on growth performance, gastrointestinal development, carcass indices and intestinal microbiota of broilers

“…Feed processing is an essential step in production performance and economic benefit of livestock ( Putra et al., 2018 ). The grinding degree of grain not only affects the processing quality of feed products, but also influences feed nutritional value, broiler growth performance and gastro-intestinal function ( Abdollahi et al., 2019 ).…”

The Interactive Impacts of Corn Particle Size and Conditioning Temperature on Performance, Carcass Traits, and Intestinal Morphology of Broiler Chickens

“…Due to several advantages, such as improving nutrient digestibility, energy utilization and increasing growth performance and production economics, feed processing has become an essential step in the poultry feeding system [ 2 ]. Processing quality, nutritional value of the feed ingredients, performance, and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) function have been shown to be directly affected by grain grinding degree [ 3 ].…”
