Abstract
This research aims to determine the effects of fermented kepok banana peel as feed by EM4 against the percentage of male local sheep non carcass. This research was conducted in Praditya Rahardja’s Farm, Jalan Bunga Rinte, Kecamatan Medan Tuntungan, Kota Medan from Jully to October 2019. The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications so that 20 experimental units. While the sheep were cut for parameter of non carcass as much as 2 from each treatment to produce 8 sheep. The treatments given are P0 (40% kepok banana peel without fermentation in feed), P1 (20% fermented of kepok banana peel in feed), P2 (40% fermented of kepok banana peel in feed), and P3 (60 % fermented of kepok banana peel in feed). The parameters used were percentage of head weight without skin, feet without skin, skin, tail without skin, trachea and lungs, heart, liver, blood, intestine and compound stomach male local sheep.
 The result showed that the utilization of fermented kepok banana peel as feed for local sheep had no signoificant effect on percentage of weight the head without skin, feet without skin, skin, tail without skin, trachea and lungs, hearts, and liver. But had significant effect on percentage of weight the blood, intestine, and compound stomach male local sheep.

Based on the results of analysis of variance, it was found that the percentage of head without skin of male local sheep given kepok banana peels in feed did not have a significant effect
Summary
The issue of animal feed is a major consideration in the livestock business. The availability of feed throughout the year is an absolute requirement for the survival of livestock businesses. The cost to provide this feed occupies the largest portion of production costs, reaching 60-80%. Utilization of agricultural industrial waste is one way to find alternative sources of feed for livestock, especially the use of banana peel waste. Banana peels are a large amount of waste material (banana waste). Banana peels have not been used significantly, only disposed of as organic waste or used as animal feed such as goats, cows, and buffalo. A considerable amount of banana peels will have a beneficial selling value if they can be used as food raw materials [2]
