Abstract
This research entitles “utilizing local microorganism with different dosages and duration of fermentation process towards digestibility and rumen activity of oil palm frond in vitro” has been done with purpose to know the effect of fermented feed processing technology towards digestion value and fermentability in vitro. The design used in the research was the factorial completely randomized design. The research results showed that the utilization of MOL with can significantly (P<0.05) improve digestibility and rumen activity in vitro where be indicated by increasing of DMD, OMD, and VFA total, N ammonia of rumen fluid in vitro, while duration fermentation had no significant effect (P>0.05) on OMD, and VFA total, N ammonia of rumen fluid in vitro. Application of MOL at the level 0,6% with duration of fermentation 7 days show the efficient treatment to increase quality of oil palm frond.
Highlights
The oil palm fronds are by-products of palm fruit harvesting
This research objective is to find out utilizing local microorganism with different dosages and duration of fermentation process towards digestibility and rumen activity of oil palm frond in vitro with purpose to know the effect of fermented feed processing technology towards digestion value and fermentability
OMDmeasurement was done by the way of sample in DMDmeasurement was put into furnace for 6 hours in temperature 105oC so that it became ashes
Summary
The oil palm fronds are by-products of palm fruit harvesting. When it is seen from its availability, palm fronds are very potential to use as animal feed. The analysis results show that the content of crude protein in palm fronds is low enough, which is 6.5 % and crude fiber is high enough, which is 32.55%. Low quality feeding with high lignin content will cause rumen condition and function not good enough so that a technology is needed to improve it. This research objective is to find out utilizing local microorganism with different dosages and duration of fermentation process towards digestibility and rumen activity of oil palm frond in vitro with purpose to know the effect of fermented feed processing technology towards digestion value and fermentability
