Analisis Usaha Pemanfaatan Eceng Gondok Fermentasi sebagai Pakan Domba Lokal Jantan Lepas Sapih

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the business use of water hyacinth fermentation of local weaning male sheep 3 months. The experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Animal Biology Animal Husbandry Program Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra in August to November 2013 using 20 local male lambs with an average initial body weight 7.87 ± 2.18 kg. The design used in the study was a completely randomized design ( CRD ) with 5 treatments and 4 replications and further significantly different. Treatment consists of P0 : concentrate + 100 % grass, P1 : concentrate + 40 % grass + 60 % grass hyacinth fermentation MOL, P2 : concentrate + 40 % grass + 60 % grass hyacinth fermentation of Trichoderma harzianum, P3 : concentrate + 100 % water hyacinth MOL fermentation, P4 : concentrate + 100 % water hyacinth fermentation of Trichoderma harzianum. The method was used a survey method. The parameters studied were the total production cost,total production, analysis of profit/loss, the benefit cost ratio (B/C ratio)and income over feed cost (IOFC). The results showed the average total cost of production (Rp) P0: 546.743,65 ; P1: 536.668,25 ; P2: 564.752,25 ; P3: 555.105,14 and P4: 524.799,68 respectively. Mean total production (Rp) P0: 441.400, P1: 440.400, P2: 462.800, P3: 460.300 and P4: 435.000 respectively. Mean analysis of profits/losses (Rp) P0: -105.343,65 ; P1: -96.268,25 ; P2: -101.952,25 ; P3: -94.805,14 and P4: -89.799,68 respectively. Mean IOFC (Rp)P0: 31.806,3 ; P1: 40.881,7 ; P2: 35.197,8 ; P3: 42.344,9 and P4: 48.650,3 respectively. The average B/C ratio P0: 0,807 ; P1: 0,821 ; P2: 0,817; P3: 0,829 and P4: 0,829 respectively. The analysis showed no beneficial use. The conclusion of this study is the utilization of water hyacinth fermentation does not benefit the weaning local male sheep.
