ABSTRACT
Raising livestock on a large scale, especially ruminants, requires large amounts of green fodder, the availability of natural feed is not yet fully reliable, therefore breeders must provide extensive forage areas that require investment costs. the big one. To obtain nutritional value, as well as good crude fiber and easy to digest, it needs processing first. One of the effective animal feed processing methods which can increase the crude protein content, reduce the crude fiber content, increase the flavor and soften the structure of the feed ingredients so that it is preferred by livestock is the ammoniation method. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of ammonia on the nutritional content of feed waste, to increase the nutritional content of the waste, to find the best urea level, to obtain the best curing time for the ammoniation of sugarcane shoots on the ammonia content of sugarcane shoots waste. This study used a completely randomized design method, the factorial pattern consisted of 3 types of treatment with 3 replications with urea percentage A: 2%, B: 3%, C: 4%, with curing time of 7 days, 14 days and 21 days. Parameters measured, dry matter content, organic matter, crude protein content, crude fat (LK), crude fiber (SK).
Keywords: Sugarcane Tops, Ammonia, Nutrient Content, Fiber Fraction.
