Abstract
The experiment aimed to find effect of cassava peel (manihot utilisima) which fermented on performance of local sheep male. The research was conducted at Jl. Bunga Rinte, Simpang Selayang, Medan, in October - December 2017 using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The experiment used 20 of local sheep male weaning with initial body weight of 10.18 ± 1kg. The treatment provided is P0 (Fermented Cassava peel 0%), P1 (Fermented Cassava peel 20%), P2 (Fermented Cassava peel 40%), and P3 (Fermented Cassava peel 60%). The observed of parameters are feed comsumption, average daily gain, feed vonversion (FCR) and income over feed cost (IOFC). The result of this research indicated that utilization of cassava peel (Manihot utiliima)fermented on performance of local sheep with the average consumption of sheep feed (g/head/day) are: 330.01; 364.99; 391.76; and 402.92, average daily gain (g/head/day): 52.86; 71.88; 84.36; and 101.80 and ration conversion: 6.42; 5.17; 4.78; dan 4.04. The conclusion of this research is the higher use of fermented cassava peel the better also the effect on improve of body weight, feed consumption and conversion of local males feed. The highest IOFC value is found in P3 with an average of Rp.276.656,01 during the research.

Sheep is one of the livestock ruminants that productivity must be continuously improved in order to meet the food needs of the community
One way that can be done is by utilizing agricultural waste which can have a positive effect on growth, including livestock weight gain
One of the nutritious and accessible agricultural wastes is the cassava peel.The use of agricultural waste such as cassava tuber skin will certainly give a positive value to a farm, including the cost of providing feed ingredients
Summary
Sheep is one of the livestock ruminants that productivity must be continuously improved in order to meet the food needs of the community. One way that can be done is by utilizing agricultural waste which can have a positive effect on growth, including livestock weight gain. One of the nutritious and accessible agricultural wastes is the cassava peel.The use of agricultural waste such as cassava tuber skin will certainly give a positive value to a farm, including the cost of providing feed ingredients. Nutrient content of cassava peel: PK 4.05%; SK 27.32%; LK 0.62%; and Abu 5,92% The low nutrient content and the existence of anti-nutrient substance that is cyanide acid (HCN) is the limiting factor of cassava peel usage as animal feed, so it needs further processing for optimum use. Processing is done by fermentation is the use of probiotics in the feed and leave it in a certain time in a closed state
