Pengolahan dan Pemanfaatan Larva dan Pupa BSF (Black Soldier Fly) Hasil Dekomposisi Limbah Organik

Abstract

Black Soldier Fly (BSF) memiliki kandungan protein yang cukup tinggi, yaitu 40-50% dengan kandungan lemak berkisar 29-32%. Larva dan pupa BSF yang dihasilkan dari dekomposisi dapat diolah menjadi komponen penting pakan hewan ternak dengan mengubahnya menjadi pelet. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis proses pengolahan larva BSF hasil dekomposisi limbah padat yang tepat, menghasilkan tepung protein dan pelet ikan dari pengolahan larva dan pupa BSF hasil dekomposisi limbah organik, dan mengkaji mutu pakan hasil pemanfaatan larva dan pupa BSF. Tahap penelitian meliputi konversi larva dan pupa BSF menjadi pelet, uji mutu pakan, dan pengukuran pertumbuhan Pangasius sp. dan ayam. Berdasarkan SNI 7548:2009, mutu pelet hasil pemanfaatan larva dan pupa BSF sudah sesuai, kecuali parameter kadar lemak pada pelet A serta kadar air dan abu pada pelet B. Pelet ikan yang dicampurkan dengan 20% tepung protein berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan berat Pangasius sp. Penggunaan tepung protein yang berasal dari larva BSF sebagai bahan substitusi pakan komersil memberikan hasil berat pada ayam yang hampir sama dengan berat ayam yang diberi pakan komersil saja.

Black Soldier Fly (BSF) has a fairly high protein content, which is 40-50% with a fat content ranging from 29-32%. BSF larvae and pupae resulting from decomposition can be processed into important components of livestock feed by converting them into pellets. The purpose of this study was to analyze the proper processing of BSF larvae resulting from solid waste decomposition, to produce protein meal and fish pellets from processing BSF larvae and pupae from organic waste decomposition, and to examine the quality of feed from the utilization of BSF larvae and pupae. The research phase included the conversion of BSF larvae and pupae into pellets, feed quality testing, and measurement of the growth of Pangasius sp. and chicken. Based on SNI 7548:2009, the quality of pellets from the use of BSF larvae and pupae was appropriate, except for the parameters of fat content in pellet A and water and ash content in pellet B. Fish pellets mixed with 20% protein flour affected the weight growth of Pangasius sp. The use of protein flour derived from BSF larvae as a substitute for commercial feed gave chicken weight results that were almost the same as the weight of chickens fed commercial feed only.
