the effect of coconut drugs fermentation (cocos nucifera l) with cytophilal neurospora on in-vitro digestiveness

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fermented coconut pulp (cocos nucifera l) with neurospora sitophila on digestibility in vitro. this research was conducted in july – september 2021 at the laboratory of the faculty of agriculture and animal husbandry, university of muhammadiyah bengkulu and proximate analysis at the livestock dairy laboratory, bogor agricultural university (ipb). this study used a completely randomized design (crd) consisting of 4 treatments and 4 replications. neurospora sitophila fermented coconut dregs with a composition of 1.5 kg of coconut dregs and 10% molasses with a dose of neurospora sitophila p1 = 2%, p2 = 4%, p3 = 6%, and p4 = 8%. the parameters observed were dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility. the results of this study were coconut pulp fermented with neurospora sitophila with different doses was able to increase dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility. the result of this research is that fermented coconut pulp using neurospora sitophila with different doses can increase digestibility in vitro. dry matter digestibility (69.32% - 74.68%) and organic matter digestibility. (69.08% - 74.70%). in conclusion, coconut pulp fermentation with neurospora sitophila can increase dry matter digestibility (kcbk) and organic matter digestibility (kcbo). the best level in the p3 treatment is 6%.
