NILAI NUTRISI SILASE AMPAS TEBU (Saccharum officinarum L.) YANG DIFERMENTASI DENGAN UREA, PROBIOTIK, MOLASES DAN KAPUR (Ca(OH)2) SEBAGAI PAKAN SAPI
Abstract
Experimental research aimed to determine the nutritional value of bagasse silage with the addition of urea, probiotics, molasses, water and calcium hydroxide was carried out for 3 months and divided into 2 stages. The first stage is the preparation stage for making silage where samples of sugar cane bagasse are obtained from sugar cane ice traders in Gomong-Mataram and making silage of sugar cane bagasse at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Nahdlatul Wathan University Mataram. Furthermore, the second stage is the implementation stage of the research, namely testing sugarcane bagasse silage with proximate analysis methods (FAO, 2011) including analysis of water content, ash, crude protein and organic matter of bagasse silage fermented with urea, probiotics, water, molasses, and calcium hydroxide at the INMT Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, University of Mataram. The experimental design in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications and data analysis with ANOVA and BNT follow-up test. The variables observed were water content, ash, crude protein and organic matter of sugarcane silage fermented with urea, probiotics, water, molasses, and calcium hydroxide. The results of this study were P3 treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on water, ash and protein content and silage production with an average value of 33.56±0.33 percent water content, 7.41±0.00 percent ash content and crude protein content of 9.94±0.00 percent and has the highest average value when compared to P0, P1 and P2, while the organic matter content of sugarcane bagasse silage in the control (P0) was not significantly different from P1, P2 and P3 and has the highest organic matter content of 98.35 percent. Further research is needed on the effect of sugarcane bagasse silage with the addition of urea, molasses, probiotics, water and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) on the digestibility of ruminants.
