INNOVATION OF SILAGE FEED PROCESSING AND RICE STRAW AMMONIATION FOR RUMINANT LIVESTOCK SOLUTIONS FOR REDUCING AGRICULTURAL WASTE BY UTS LECTURER OF ANIMAL LIVESTOCK PROGRAM

FITH — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 02:36:25 +0000

Sumbawa (UTS) – Many cattle breeders in Woko Village, Pajo District, Dompu Regency still use animal feed from green plants and agricultural residues, making it difficult for them to get animal feed during the dry season. Therefore, the training team, lecturer service, UTS Animal Husbandry Study Program students and lecturer Husni, S.Pt., M.Si from the Animal Husbandry Study Program, Faculty of Life Sciences and Technology, Sumbawa University of Technology held community service with animal feed materials to overcome this problem. (Wednesday, August 30 2023)

The productivity of cattle in the Dompu region which has a dry climate by looking at various rearing systems is the Dompu Bima language release system is So. The aim of holding silage and ammonia feed processing training is to provide quality animal feed in the dry season by utilizing excess animal feed in the rainy season or dry season. harvest to increase the cattle population. This activity really helps livestock groups to try innovation and feed processing. This is due to the need for feed to support the livestock business. Utilizing waste is the right way to overcome the current difficulties and high prices of feed. There are various kinds of waste that can be used as animal feed and one of them that we present to socialize to livestock groups is by making silage from agricultural waste.

By looking at the production of corn and rice in Dompu Regency, it is very abundant. However, reality shows the opposite condition. Farmers are still burning remaining corn and rice crops while large numbers of cows wander around looking for food with emaciated bodies. One thing that must be done is the use of Ammoniated Straw. Of course, preventing food shortages, especially during the dry season, so that livestock do not lack food. Livestock productivity will increase, with rice straw ammonia, digestibility will increase, so livestock growth will be better. Ammoniated Straw for Animal Feed. Rice straw is also an agricultural waste containing very low nutrients, namely 4.1% crude protein and 86% cell walls, so that if it is given as a single feed to livestock, it is difficult to meet the livestock’s need for nutrients, even if it is given ad libitum. The following is the processing method assuming 100 KG of straw material. For example, 1 ton of dry rice straw means you need 20-25 liters of molasses/sugar, and 250-300 liters of water to dissolve it.

“Feed is one of the biggest components in the livestock production business, feed alone can reach 70% of the total production costs, so feed is a determinant of the success of breeders, in addition to seed factors and cultivation management. “Good feed management will be the key to the success of a farm, this includes feed procurement and feed banks, feed formulation, and feed management technology as well as processing silage and ammoniated feed.” Said Husni, S.Pt., M.Si as Lecturer in the Animal Husbandry Study Program, Faculty of Life Sciences and Technology, Sumbawa University of Technology.

Effect of Temperature and Humidity on Local Sheep Feeding Activities in Intensive and Semi-Intensive Maintenance Systems

FITH — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 20:12:49 +0000

(Animal Husbandry Study Program Faculty of Life Sciences and Technology)

Local sheep are one of the small ruminants that are mostly kept by the people of Indonesia. This type of livestock has a fairly high prospect in the future, whether it is used as seeds or as beef cattle. This is because the need for meat is increasing along with the increase in population from year to year. In addition, public awareness of the importance of animal protein is a motivation for sheep breeders.

Local sheep have the advantage that they are easy to maintain, not susceptible to disease, fast in breeding and have high adaptability to temperature and humidity in Indonesia. Until now, sheep are cultivated by farms with a maintenance system that is still traditional, where sheep are kept intensively or in cages and reared semi-intensively, ie sheep are grazed during the day and kept in cages at night.

Semi-intensive maintenance, Intensive maintenance

Of course, these two rearing systems can affect the feeding activity of sheep, because there are factors of temperature and humidity both in the cage and in the pasture. The temperature in the cage will be different from the temperature in the pasture. The following is the temperature and humidity data obtained from the results of research on sheep reared with intensive and semi-intensive rearing systems as follows::

Location	Time	Temperature (^oC)	Humidity (%)
– In the Cage	Morning	26.77	77.74
	Day	34.19	49.35
	Afternoon	29.74	57.74
	Average	30.23	61.61

– Pasture	Morning	28.53	69.00
	Day	33.32	48.23
	Afternoon	29.54	57.69
	Average	30.46	58.30

Information : Morning (07:00-08:00 am), day (12:00 am–02:00 pm), afternoon (04:00–05:00 pm)

Temperature and humidity are environmental factors that can affect livestock productivity. Based on the data in the table of temperature and humidity in the cage in the morning, afternoon and evening, it shows that the temperature and humidity are different, as well as the temperature and humidity in the pasture. The temperature in the morning and evening is lower than the daytime temperature which reaches 34.19ºC in cages and 33.32ºC in pastures.

The high temperature causes the sheep to appear more rested during the day and do not eat much, especially for sheep in the pasture who prefer to take shelter under trees or fences compared to sheep in cages. So that the activity of eating sheep is more often seen in the morning and evening, this is in accordance with the Thermo Neutral Zone (TNZ) which is good for raising livestock at an ambient temperature of 22-31 oC.

The rise and fall of temperature in the cage and pasture will affect the humidity value. In the process of growing sheep need 60-80% humidity. The humidity of the cages and pastures in the morning and evening ranged from 57.74-77.74%, while during the day both in the cages and in the pastures, it was low, namely below 50%. This shows that the humidity in the morning and evening is close to the humidity standard for living sheep, while the humidity during the day is lower because it is influenced by high temperatures.

Marisol (Marine Solution): Organic Fertilizer Innovation-Solid Planting Media Based on Sumbawa Local Seaweed Potential

FITH — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 22:13:20 +0000

In the success of the University Work Program period 3 contained in the 2013-2036 UTS RPJP related to increasing the innovation of the academic community, the Faculty of Life Sciences and Technology (FLST) also makes a real contribution by developing superior innovation products created by lecturers and students. On this occasion, the FSLT academic community in collaboration with Sumbawa Technopark and Start-up Archi Biotech has developed one of its superior innovation products, namely Marisol Biofertilizer (Marine Solution) which is made from seaweed waste from the Sumbawa coast. This innovation was initiated to be a solution to the problems of farmers, especially in Sumbawa, namely the scarcity and high price of fertilizer in the market.

Introduction of Marisol Fertilizer to the Deputy Regent of Sumbawa Dewi Noviany, S.Pd., M.Pd

The raw material for Marisol Biofertilizer is Sargassum sp. which is one type of seaweed that is abundantly available in Sumbawa waters. This is an added value of this product, because FSLT lecturers and students are also campaigning for a movement to care for the environment. Sargassum sp. obtained from the waters of Tanjung Pengamas, Labuhan Badas District. Furthermore, the seaweed is dried and chopped with a special seaweed chopper machine. Sargassum sp. that has been chopped mixed with fertile soil with a certain dose and stored in an airtight closed container for the fermentation process.

Marisol Biofertilizer has previously been through a series of studies related to its effectiveness. Tests on ornamental plants, obtained better growth compared to bokashi and chemical fertilizers. Ornamental plants fed Marisol Biofertilizer have larger flowers and faster growth. Tests on maize (a food crop) showed the use of Marisol Biofertilizer accelerated root growth and leaf count. Based on the results of research that has been done, this fertilizer is suitable for ornamental plants and food crops. Marisol Biofertilizer has a functional microbe of 1.05 x 106CFU/g. This indicates that the microbial diversity in Marisol Biofertilizer is very high. Marisol fertilizer quality tests in accordance with Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 261 of 2019 are still being carried out at the Testing, Calibration and Certification Services Laboratory of IPB. The tests carried out were C-Organic, C/N ratio, water content, heavy metals (As, Hg, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni), pH, macro nutrients (N, P2O5, K2O), micro nutrients (Fe Total , Mn, Zn). Marisol Biofertilizer is packaged in 10 kg and 5 kg packages, with prices of Rp. 28.000,00 and Rp. 15.000,00. The UTS Road To MXGP Expo activity is the first launching of Marisol Biofertilizer which is the result of innovation from FSLT lecturers and students. With this activity, Marisol Biofertilizer became heard among the UTS academic community and the Sumbawa community. It would be better if in the future, Marisol Biofertilizer was included in product exhibitions related to agriculture or ornamental plants in order to directly attract the target market.

The process of chopping seaweed for raw material for making Marisol Biofertilizer
