KANDUNGAN NEUTRAL DETERGENT FIBER, ACID DETERGENT FIBER DAN PROTEIN KASAR SILASE ONGGOK DENGAN PENGURANGAN KADAR AIR DAN PENAMBAHAN DEDAK HALUS
Cassava pulp is a by-product of cassava processing into tapioca. The high moisture content in cassava pulp can accelerate the spoilage process. To address this issue, cassava pulp was stored in the form of silage. This study evaluated the effectiveness of reducing moisture content and ricebran addition on the levels of Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), and Crude Protein (CP) in cassava pulp silage. The research was conducted from October to December 2024 at Laboratorium Kandang Percobaan and continued at the Laboratory of Nutrition and Animal Feed, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. The experimental design used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design with 3 treatments and 6 replicates. The treatments applied in this study were P1: Kontrol (Cassava pulp, 20% dry matter (DM)), P2: pressed cassava pulp (31% of DM), and P3: pressed cassava pulp + 15.3% of rice bran (40 % of DM). The results showed that the treatments had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on NDF, ADF, and CP contents. However, there was a tendency toward significance (0.05 > P ≤ 0.10) for increased CP content in cassava pulp silage supplemented with rice bran compared to silage without rice bran addition.
