Komposisi Kimia dan Degradasi Nutrien Silase Rumput Gajah yang Diensilase dengan Residu Daun Teh Hitam
Abstract
This study evaluated the chemical compositions and nutrient degradation during ensiling of elephant grass
(Pennisetum purpureum) silage with black tea waste (BTW) addition. Four silage treatments were elephant grass (S0);
elephant grass + 100 g BTW/ kg fresh matter (S1); elephant grass + 200 g BTW/kg fresh matter (S2); elephant grass + 300 g
BTW/kg fresh matter. About 220 g of silage material were ensiled for 30 days at room temperature (approximately 28°C).
Three replicates were prepared for each treatment. Results showed that dry matter, organic matter and crude protein
contents of silages increased linearly (P
