Livestock business is not separated from the cost of feeds issued. Feed is the largest production costs of 60-70% of the total production costs, so it needs to look for and utilize other alternative feed ingredients that do not compete with humans, the price is cheap, easy to obtain and not ignore the content nutrients from the feed ingredients.One of the alternative feed ingredients derived from agricultural waste that is available in large quantities and can be used as animal feed is Azolla pinnata with crude protein content ranging from 24 - 30%. Azolla pinnata plants or water spikes are the plants that usually live on the water surface, so far the farmers consider Azolla pinnata as a weed that disturbs their crops, so Azolla pinnata much thrown away by the farmers.In addition to utilizing Azolla pinnata as broiler feed and broilernya optimal growth should be added probiotics. Provision of probiotics are expected to function to maintain the health of chicken digestion as well as a growth spur so that later available food poultry products in the form of good meat, healthy and reduce residual antibiotics.This research has been conducted in Farm State Agricultural Polytechnic Payakumbuh. The data were collected for four weeks using 100 broiler children, with Completely Randomized Design using 5 treatments and 4 replications, with parameters: weight gain, consumption, conversion, carcass percentage and abdominal fat.The results of this study show that there is an increase in body weight and percentage of carcass. The average percentage of carcasses ranged between 59.24% - 67.52% and the abdominal fat percentage ranged from 9.86% to 11.34%.The conclusion of this study besides can reduce production cost also seen that best treatment that is combination in use of Azolla pinnata 15% and probiotic 10 ml.

In order to put cultured species on the market with high quality and few casualties, many important studies are carried out. Most of the researches are conducted in the development of feed and feed ingredients 30-60% of the production cost in farming. Therefore, in aquaculture, an interest in alternative feed ingredients is moving at a very fast rate. In this context, the use of enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics in animal feed has steadily increased in recent years with reasons such as effective control of fish diseases and prevention of infection, strengthening the immune system of fish, increase of the digestibility, reduction of the feed cost, reduction of larval-term mortality, provision of increase in growth, live weight gain, and getting rid of the negative effects of stress.

Zero waste agriculture is an agricultural concept oriented around the decomposition cycle of organic materials which integrates agricultural and livestock systems to reprocess waste material. Agricultural waste is used as animal feed while livestock waste/excrement is reprocessed into organic fertilizers. The Regional Partnership Service Program (PKW) aims to assist farmers in developing integrated farming businesses based around zero waste agriculture. PKW was held between May and July 2021 in Tindaki Village, South Parigi District, Parigi Moutong Regency. The implementation of this regional partnership program was carried out through a Participatory Action Programs approach, where partners are directly involved in the adoption and application of the various skills that had been developed. The procedure for activity implementation was carried out through several stages, namely: (a) counseling on zero waste agriculture, (b) training in and application of zero waste agriculture technology in the form of demonstration plots for the application of technological products, (c) coaching and mentoring, and (d) the utilization stage of technology product. The findings from the implementation concluded that the agricultural development training based on zero waste agriculture was a success, and the technology had been adopted by the community, marked by the ability to make and develop compost and liquid organic bio-urine fertilizers. Both types of organic fertilizers had been applied in the demonstration plots to assess their effectiveness in reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers. Rice production is equivalent to 5.6 tons/ha and 6 tons/ha in conventional land. These results show potential benefits for farmers, particularly regarding lower production costs compared to the usage of conventional land. Zero waste agriculture is a method of farming and livestock raising that utilizes their waste products for energy production.

Ransum adalah gabungan dari beberapa macam bahan pakan ternak yang disusun dengan formulasi tertentu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi ternak. Bahan-bahan pakan penyusun ransum yang tersedia di wilayah Lampakuk Kabupaten Aceh Besar seperti: limbah batang jagung, bonggol jagung, dedak padi, kulit kakao, bungkil kelapa, daun ubi jalar dan jerami padi. Bahan-bahan pakan tersebut, selama ini belum dimanfaatkan oleh peternak sebagai bahan – bahan pakan penyusun ransum ternak ruminansia. Kegiatan sosialisasi ini dihadiri oleh 15 orang peternak serta dilakukan dengan metode pemberian materi, diskusi dan praktek langsung penyusunan ransum. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan antusias peternak sapi dalam memanfaatkan limbah pertanian sebagai bahan pakan penyusun ransum menjadi meningkat, sehingga memngkinkan untuk meningkatkan jumlah ternak yang dipelihara. Jika selama ini hanya mengoptimalkan rumput-rumputan dan hijauan sebagai makanan ternak, maka dengan kegiatan sosialisasi ini meningkatkan pengetahuan dan wawasan peternak dalam memanfaatkan limbah pertanian sebagai ransum makanan ternak ruminansia.Kata kunci : Limbah Pertanian, Bahan Pakan, Ransum, Ternak Ruminansia.ABSTRACTThe ration is a combination of several kinds of animal feed ingredients which are arranged in a certain formulation to meet the nutritional needs of livestock. The feed ingredients that make up the ration available in the Lampakuk area, Aceh Besar District, are: corn stalk waste, corn cobs, rice bran, cocoa husk, coconut cake, sweet potato leaves and rice straw. These feed ingredients, so far have not been used by breeders as feed ingredients for ruminant rations. This socialization activity was attended by 15 farmers and was carried out using the method of providing material, discussion and direct practice of preparing rations. The results obtained show that the enthusiasm of cattle farmers in utilizing agricultural waste as feed ingredients for rations has increased, so that it is possible to increase the number of livestock kept. If so far it has only been optimizing grasses and forages as fodder for livestock, then this socialization activity will increase the knowledge and insight of farmers in utilizing agricultural waste as ruminant feed rations.Keyword :Agricultural Waste, Feed Ingredients, Ration, Ruminant Livestock.

Much research on animal feed has focused on finding alternative feed ingredients that can replace conventional ones (e.g., grains and beans) to reduce feed costs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the economic, as well as nutritional value of spent coffee grounds (SCG) and Japanese mugwort (Artemisia princeps) residues (APR) as alternative feed ingredients for ruminants. We also investigated whether pre-fermentation usingLactobacillusspp. was a feasible way to increase the feed value of these by-products. Chemical analyses and anin vitrostudy were conducted for SCG, APR, and their pre-fermented forms. All the experimental diets forin vitroruminal fermentation were formulated to contain a similar composition of crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and total digestible nutrients at 1x maintenance feed intake based on the dairy National Research Council (NRC). The control diet was composed of ryegrass, corn, soybean meal, whereas the treatments consisted of SCG, SCG fermented withLactobacillusspp. (FSCG), APR, and its fermented form (FAPR). The treatment diets replaced 100 g/kg dry matter (DM) of the feed ingredients in the control. Costs were lower for the all treatments, except FAPR, than that of the control. After 24-h incubation, the NDF digestibility of the diets containing SCG and its fermented form were significantly lower than those of the other diets (P< 0.01); pre-fermentation tended to increase NDF digestibility (P= 0.07), especially for APR. Supplementation of SCG significantly decreased total gas production (ml/g DM) after 24-h fermentation in comparison with the control (P< 0.05); however, there were no significant differences between the control and the SCG or the APR diets in total gas production, as expressed per Korean Won (KRW). Diets supplemented with SCG or FSCG tended to have a higher total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration, expressed as per KRW, compared with the control (P= 0.06). Conversely, the fermentation process of SCG and APR significantly decreased total gas production and VFA production as expressed per KRW (P< 0.05). Because of their nutrient composition and relatively lower cost, we concluded that SCG and APR could be used as alternative feed sources, replacing conventional feed ingredients. However, pre-fermentation of agricultural by-products, such as SCG and APR, may be inappropriate for improving their nutritive considering the increase in production costs.

Nutrition or feeding is one of the most important components in livestock production and it’s associated with high costs. In goat production, it can typically account for 60% or more of total production costs. As a result, there is much new research being conducted on goat feeding and nutrition in a variety of areas regarding production costs, sustainability, and quality of the product produced. Areas of research that are currently receiving much attention include feed additives such as prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants, plant secondary metabolites, etc. Their use in animal feed is expected to increase due to the abolition of synthetic antimicrobials in feed, although there is still limited information on their use and is accompanied by contradictory research reports. This study aims to highlight some of the recent and emerging studies on the different feed resources, feed additives and dietary feed composition for goats.

In this paper, the problem of animal feed formulation is addressed. A feed product is comprised of various kinds of raw ingredients. Traditionally, the least cost formulation (LCF) approach is used in the feed industry to determine the optimal blend of the feed ingredients based on nutritional requirements and raw material costs. LCF, however, does not consider the production cost. In practice, a wide variety of raw ingredients may require different levels of production load. For example, feed ingredients with high amount of fiber content may reduce the pelleting production rate, leading to high production cost. The main focus of this study is the development of a mathematical model to find an optimal blend of the feed ingredients with an objective to minimize the overall cost consisting of raw material cost, production cost, and opportunity cost. Multiple linear regression equations are used to estimate the production rate that depends on the fat and the fiber contents in the feed mix and the durability index of the feed pellet. The results indicated that the proposed method is more beneficial than traditional LCF and applicable to the feed industry.
