CHANGES IN DRY MATTER CONTENT, ORGANIC MATTER AND pH IN CASSAVA PULP SILAGE WITH REDUCTION OF WATER CONTENT AND ADDITION OF FINE BRAN
Feed is the highest cost component in livestock farming. Limited land availability results in insufficient forage production for continuous animal feeding, especially during the dry season. Cassava pulp, a by-product of tapioca flour production, has great potential as an alternative livestock feed after being fermented into silage. The addition of fine bran in silage production can accelerate fermentation and maintain silage quality. Producing cassava pulp silage can extend shelf life and preserve feed quality. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining moisture reduction and the addition of fine bran in determining the dry matter, organic matter, and pH content of cassava pulp silage. This research was conducted from November to January 2025 at the Laboratory of Animal Nutrition and Feed, Animal Science Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 6 replications. The treatments consisted of P1: (fresh cassava pulp, control), P2: (pressed cassava pulp), and P3: (pressed cassava pulp + 15.3% rice bran). The observed parameters were dry matter (DM) content, organic matter (OM) content, and pH value. The results showed that the treatments had a significant effect (P
