Local Micro Organisms (LMO) as an Activator to Enhance the Quality of Various Plant Waste as Feed

Abstract

The assessment has been conducted at Gowa Station Research, Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology (AIAT) South Sulawesi. The aim of this study is to investigate the type of Local Micro Organisms (LMO) as the best activator to improve the quality of agricultural waste as feed. The research activity consists of two stages: rst, is the manufacture of the material LMO of six types: fruit of Calabash Tree (Crescentia cujete), fruits that have been wasted, chicken rumen contents, tricoderma, excrescence banana and vegetable wastes. The six types of materials made LMO, selected three types are considered to be the best that Crescentia cujete (LMO I), chicken rumen contents (LMO II) and vegetables wastes (LMO III). The selection of the three types of LMO is primarily based on the percentage content of N - total, the content of N is expected to increase the protein content of the waste material that is fermented. Although the content of elements of C - organic slightly lower than other LMO materials. Second activity, is the use of three types of LMO were selected in the rst activities to be used in the fermentation activator 3 types of agricultural waste namely , rice straw, corn straw and sugarcane shoots. The results of laboratory analysis showed an increase in the nutritional quality of the before and after fermentation of the three types of sewage plants, so that from the third LMO was selected as the best activator is Calabash Tree (Crescentia cujete).
