OPTIMASI LAJU KONSUMSI DAN PERTUMBUHAN MAGGOT Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) MELALUI PENAMBAHAN TEPUNG TALAS (Colocasia esculenta) PADA MEDIA PAKAN
This study aims to optimize the consumption rate and growth of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot by adding taro flour (Colocasia esculenta) as a prebiotic in feed media based on pineapple peel and coconut pulp waste. The research was conducted at the Animal Husbandry Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University in October–November 2024 using a Complete Random Design (RAL) consisting of four treatments, namely P0 (50% coconut pulp + 50% pineapple peel), P1 (50% coconut pulp + 40% pineapple peel + 10% taro flour), P2 (40% coconut pulp + 50% pineapple peel + 10% taro flour), and P3 (40% coconut pulp + 40% pineapple peel + 20% taro flour), with six repetitions. The results showed that the addition of taro flour significantly increased the consumption rate of BSF maggot feed, especially in the P3 treatment (23.27 ± 2.79 g/day), compared to P0 (16.88 ± 3.20 g/day). However, there was no significant difference in the efficiency of digestion feed conversion (ECD), which ranged from 13.62% to 22.79%. Maggot growth, both in terms of weight and width, showed a significant influence on the rate of consumption, indicating that taro flour supported the growth of BSF maggot optimally. Therefore, the use of fruit waste and taro flour as a feed medium can be an effective alternative to BSF maggot cultivation, with the potential to be used in animal feed and organic waste management. Keywords : Coconut Pulp (C. nucifera), pineapple peel (A. comosus), Maggot BSF (H. illucens), Tepung talas (C. Esculenta).
