Pengaruh Lama Ensilase Terhadap Kualitas Fraksi Serat Kasar Silase Limbah Pucuk Tebu (Saccharum Officinarum) Yang Diinokulasi Dengan Bakteri Asam Laktat Terseleksi

Abstract

The objective of this research was to know the effect of ensilage time on fiber fraction quality of sugarcane top (Saccharum officinarum) inoculated with selected lactic acid bacteria. This research was conducted in two stage. First stage was lactic acid bacteria isolated from sugarcane top and second sugarcane top ensilage with selected lacticacid bacteria. There were held on Animal feed and Nutritive Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. This research used Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 4 replications: P1 (7 days ensilage), P2 (14 days ensilage), P3 (21 days ensilage), P4 (28 days ensilage). Observed parameters were NDF, ADF,cellulose, lignin, pH silage and population lactic acid bacteria. The result showed that treatment gave significant effect on NDF (P1 66.90%, P2 70.79%, P3 70.83% and P4 69.26%) and ADF (P1 62.78%, P2 63.41%, P3 63.58% and P4 66.94%, however cellulose, lignin and pH silage were non significant. In conclution, selected lactic acidbacteria could improved silage fermentation quality of sugarcane top and ensilage time were improved from 21 days to 7 days
