Pengaruh Lama Penyimpanan Wafer Pakan Sampah Sayuran Terhadap Kandungan Fraksi Serat (Hemiselulosa, Selulosa dan Lignin)
ABSTRACT Vegetable waste can be an alternative in the supply of animal feed because it has a relatively good nutritional content but the condition is easy to rot, so needs processing through technology in the form of wafers to optimize the utilization of vegetable waste. This study aims to determine the effect of different storage times on fiber fractions and is expected to provide information on how to make wafer feed for ruminant.This research was conducted in April to June 2019 at the Laboratory of Agriculture at the University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu and continued by Van Soest analysts at the Bogor Institute of Agriculture Laboratory (IPB). The method used in this study is a Completely Randomized Design with A (control), B (stored for 1 week), C (stored for 2 weeks), D (stored for 3 weeks). The parameters observed were hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin.The results showed that the treatment was significantly different for the content of hemicellulose and lignin but not significantly for the cellulose content. The conclusion in this study is that the storage time of wafers for 21 days can reduce the content of hemicellulose and lignin, but can not reduce the content of cellulose.
