Abstract
People of Kolaka accustomed to using coconuts as well be used as a food supplement or a mixture of additives in processed foods, cakes and other confectionary. Therefore utilizing coconut pulp as feed fish and poultry should be made to minimize the potential for household waste. Feed from coconut pulp is a transfer of science and technology to the people who are expected to help poor people to be productive. Fermentation is one method to process coconut pulp into feed ingredients. The fermentation process is done by using spores of Aspergillus niger. The fermentation process is done in stages, by aerobic fermentation followed by anaerobic fermentation (enzymatic process). In short the process of making feed "PA-BIO" from coconut pulp is: Dregs of coconuts added water, stirred and steamed. Cooled and then stirred together with a mixture of minerals, Aspergillus niger spores are added and stirred again until evenly distributed. The mixture was then fermented aerobically and unaerobically. Dregs fermented and then dried and packaged for later in packing. Based on the results of research that the utilization of coconut dregs as cattle feed and fish is potential. Miskiyah et al. (2006), increase protein content after fermentation of coconut pulp 11.35% to 26.09%, or by 130% and decreased fat content of 11.39%. The results also showed that the feed produced quite safe for livestock, namely the aflatoxin content <20 ppb. Feed from coconut pulp is also good for fish farming. Goenarso et al. (2002) on tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.), the faster fish growth with increasing the feed protein content of 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45%.
Highlights
ATJ/1.1; 45-49; December 2016 contained in coconut water around 17 calories per 100 grams
In the fermentation process in which the reaction occurs complex compound is converted into simpler compounds by freeing up water molecules
Research conducted Purwadaria et al (1995) mentions that coconut meal fermented with Aspergillus niger able to increase the protein content and digestibility of feed produced
Summary
The high price of feed is the reason that always echoed by the poultry farmers and poultry traders in the Pasar Raya Mekongga Kolaka raising poultry prices cut them from year to year. Coconut dregs is used as an alternative feed is good for poultry feed and good to feed the fish because it has a protein content after fermentation. As Science and Technology for the Society (IbM program), the “Potency of Dregs Fermentation Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) as an Alternative Feed for Fish and Poultry 'PA-BIO” can be an alternative business community Kolaka. Two main targets in the IbM program are women and children, women in this case is a group of mothers of households that are not economically productive and children are adolescent girls unmarried who have dropped out of school so expect two groups of partners this can be economically independent through the fish feed business and household-scale poultry
