Kualitas Fisik dan Kimia Hasil Samping Pertanian Sebagai Bahan Pengisi Pada Pakan Unggas

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kualitas fisik, kandungan fraksi serat, kelarutan total dan serat, serta bahan pengisi hasil samping pertanian berupa ranting indigofera, pelepah sawit, tandan buah kosong kelapa sawit dengan dan tanpa pemberian enzim. Enzim yang digunakan, antara lain Xylanase, Mannanase, dan Cellulase. Parameter yang diukur antara lain, serat kasar, NDF, ADF, hemiselulosa, berat jenis, kerapatan tumpukan, kerapatan pemadatan tumpukan, sudut tumpukan, kelarutan total dan kelarutan serat. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 8 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Data dianalisis menggunakan ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan enzim berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) dalam menurunkan kandungan fraksi serat (NDF, ADF, dan hemiselulosa), dan meningkatkan kualitas fisik (BJ, KT, KPT, dan ST) serta meningkatkan kelarutan total dan kelarutan bahan pengisi dari sumber serat ranting indigofera, pelepah sawit, tandan buah kosong kelapa sawit. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, disimpulkan bahwa penambahan enzim dapat meningkatkan kualitas bahan pengisi, secara fisik maupun kimia, serta menunjukkan potensi penggunaan enzim dalam optimasi bahan pengisi pakan sumber serat dari hasil samping pertanian.

This study aimed to assess the physical quality and content of fiber fractions, as well as total solubility and fiber, of agricultural by-product fillers in the form of indigofera twigs, palm fronds, and oil palm empty fruit bunches with and without enzyme treatment. Enzymes used included Xylanase, Mannanase, and Cellulase. Parameters measured included crude fiber, NDF, ADF, hemicellulose, specific gravity, pile density, pile compaction density, pile angle, total solubility and fiber solubility. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 8 treatments and 3 replications. Data were analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that the addition of enzymes had a significant effect (P<0.05) in reducing the content of fiber fractions (NDF, ADF, and hemicellulose), and improving physical quality (BJ, KT, KPT and ST) as well as increasing the total solubility and solubility of fillers from fiber sources of indigofera twigs, palm fronds, empty fruit bunches of oil palm. Based on this, it is concluded that the addition of enzymes can improve the quality of the filler material, physically and chemically, and shows the potential of using enzymes in the optimization of fiber source feed fillers from agricultural by-products.
