I. INTRODUCTION.
Rice bran is the rest of the rice mill and used for feeding
almost all of the kinds of cattle in Indonesia even for
poultry. The proportion use of rice bran for poultry
feeding is about 20 to 30%. Nutrient content in rice bran
are as follows: 14.5% crude protein; 48% nitrogen free
extract material (NFE); 7.4% crude fiber; 7.4% crude fat;
7.0% ash; calcium (Ca) 0, 05%, phosphorus (P) 1.48%,
10.8% protein digestible and MP = 70 (Lubis, 1992). Rice
bran have some limitation factors such as low digestibility,
easy to be rancid and high level phytic acid. A fermentation
process could be an overcome to increase the nutrient
content, digestibility and nutrient levels eficiency of rice
bran. Reddy and Sathe (2002) stated that reducing the
phytic acid content in rice bran can be done by
fermentation, heating, soaking and pickling. A natural
microbe consist of local ingredients such as extract of
fermented wasted vegetable from traditional vegetable
market can also be used as a fermentation starter instead
of using pure cultures.
The extract of fermented wasted vegetable from
vegetable market was made by a fermentation of waste
cabbage and green mustard. It contains some species of
lactic acid bacteria such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides,
Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus
pentosaceus and Saccharomyces sp that produced the total
content of lactic acid bacteria at 2.1 x 1010 CFU/ml and

have a potential ability to degrade phytic acid content
(Plengvidhya et al., 2007).
Semarang district is very rich and has a great potential
for making the extract of fermented wasted vegetable. The
potential of the extract of fermented wasted vegetable
from cabbage and green mustard greens ranging from 500
kg up to 800 kg per day. Meanwhile for the production of
vegetable in Semarang District reached 96,906 quintal for
cabbage and 78,911 quintals for green mustard, according
to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Semarang District
(2005). Percentage vegetables were sorted from the
vegetable market reached 3-5% by weight of the vegetable
with the dominance of 80% cabbage and 20% green
mustard. Wasted vegetables polluted the market thus it
needs to be processed and utilized as a starter lactic acid
bacteria for a fermentation process through the
production of the extract of fermented wasted vegetable,
as well as to overcome one of the environment problems.
The levels of phytic acid could reduced up to 80.4% by
rice bran fermentation process using Lactobacillus for 8 to
72 hours of incubation. On the other side, the levels of
phytic acid could reduced up to 20% by rice bran
fermentation process using Saccharomyces Sp. at pH 5.3
(Reddy and Sathe, 2002). The growth of microorganisms
in the production of the extract of fermented wasted
vegetable was influenced by the availability of the carbon
chain in the substrat, particularly glucose. The growing of
microorganisms in the fermentation process optimally
influenced by the supply of carbon source. The cell size
and the number of nucleic acid were affected by the rate of
microbial growth. The higher the growth rates will
increase the number of cell mass and ribosome per unit of
DNA. Purwadaria et al. (2003) stated that the production
of biomass 33.3x10-1 mg/ml of SP. 9 isolates using glucose;
15.6x10-1 mg/ml on sucrose and 13.8x10-1 mg/ml for the
molasses. Meanwhile when using Saccharomyces cerevisie,
the production of biomass reached 4x10-1 mg/ml for
glucose; 45.1x10-1 mg/ml on sucrose and 45.2x10-1 mg/ml
for the molasses.
Saccharomyces cerevisie can be used for fermentation
and animal feed as a probiotic and prebiotic because it
contains immunostimulan such as β-glucan, mannan and
oligosaccharides. Saccharomyces cerevisiea has a special
characteristic in animal feed because of its ability to
produce glutamic acid which can increase the palatability
of substrate fermentation media. Tawwab et al. (2008)
stated that the given of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in feed
could improve the digestibility of protein and fiber such as
cellulose and hemicellulose in the digestive tract. The
statement was supported by the research of
Kumprechtova et al. (2000). They were reported that
supplementation with Saccharomyces cerevisiea could
improve the productivity of broilers, if there were low
proportion of protein content in feed. Supplementation
decreased the excretion of nitrogen in the excreta, indicate
the better protein utilization. Declining levels of nitrogen
give the impact on improving livestock productivity,
reduced levels of ammonia and odor from chicken manure
thus it could reduce pollution occurs. Saccharomyces
cerevisiae are possible to maintain the condition of the
gastrointestinal tract. They were survived on the surface
of cells of the small intestine (Brugier and Patte 1975).
Rose (1987) stated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the
ideal starter culture for yeast production. They were able
to change microbes in the gut, if the pH was suitable.
According to Leeson and Summers (1996), the presence of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae was provided the water supply
to deliver oxygen, thereby increasing beneficial microbial
growth in an aerobic condition. Edo et al. (1999) reported
that Saccharomyces cerevisieae can serve as a prebiotic
because it can suppress the growth of Enterobacteriaceae.
Specific interaction between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and
pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and
Salmonella illustrates that Saccaromyces binding the
enterotoxigenic of enterobacteria through the mannose-
specific reactions on the intestine surface.
The aim of the study was to enhance the used of
Lactobacillus sp. and Saccharomyces sp. as a fermentation
starter from waste cabbage and green mustard to enhance
the utility of rice bran as poultry feed. The combination of
the glucose addition and the longer period of incubation
probably could change the type and the number of
microbes that exist in the liquid of extract of the fermented
waste vegetable from market being the hypothetical of the
first stage of the study. The Level concentration of using
liquid starter of fermented extract wasted vegetable from
market probably could altered the nutritional quality and
microbiological conditions of rice bran were become the
second hypothesis. The hypothesis of the last stages was
about the increasing of the utility of fermented rice bran in
chickens after hatching due to the addition of liquid
extract fermented waste vegetable from market were
conditioned by glucose.
II. RESEARCH METHODS
The study was consisted of 3 (three) stages of the
research, as followed: stages for developing
microorganisms in the liquid extract of fermented waste
vegetable from market; determination for the capabilities

brand OHAUS 200 g capacity with 0.1 g sensitivity, force
feeding utensils and trays.
At the first stages of the study, cabbage and green
mustard which obtained from waste vegetable market
were chopped. After then added 8% salt and 6.7%
molasses from the weight of fresh cabbage and green
mustard, then mixed thoroughly and ripening for 6 days.
Liquid fermented result was taken, after then was added
with various level of glucose concentration (2%, 4% and
6%) and incubated for 2, 4 and 6 days. The parameters
measured were pH, type of fungi, total bacteria and lactic
acid bacteria gram positive/negative with the method
according to Atlas (2005).
Completely randomized design with 3 by 3 factorial and
three replications was used for the experimental design.
The aim of the second stages of the study was to determine
the effectiveness of liquid extract of fermented waste
vegetable from market as a starter for the fermentation of
rice bran in an effort to improve the quality and utility of
rice bran as an ingredient of poultry feed.
The research began with steaming rice bran for 30
minutes after the water boils and it was repeated for 3
times in order to eliminate the bacteria for the first
steaming, eliminate bacterial spores, molds and yeasts for
the second steaming and sterilize rice bran for the third.
The nutritional quality in purpose to determine were
followed the water content of toluene, the levels of crude
protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash, nitrogen free extract
material (NFE) and biomass. The design used was
completely randomized design with 4 treatments (0%,
20%, 40% and 60% concentration level of the extract
fermented waste vegetable from market waste) and 4
replicates, with the incubation time for 2 days, the
proximate analysis using AOAC method and biomass
(Hadisuwarno, 1990).
The aim of the third stages of the study was to examine
the utility of rice bran fermentation in chickens aged 10
days post-hatching. The experiments were conducted by
comparing non-fermented and fermented rice bran then
tested on post-hatching chickens with force feeding
method (Sulistiyanto, 1998). The parameters measured
were retention of N, Ca, P and metabolic energy.
The data were processed by analysis of variant using
SAS 98 programe for the 1st and 2nd stages of the study
while the 3rd stages of the study using SPSS 10 t-test
analysis. If there was any significant effect (p<0.05)
continued by Duncan's test area specifically for the first
and the second stages of the study (Steel and Torrie,
1993).

The results of variety analysis shows that there are
effect between glucose addition and incubation time
treatment to pH and total lactat acid bacterial (BAL), but
there is no interaction between addition of glucose and
incubation time treatment for gram-positive (+) / gram
negative (-) content and type of fungi on liquid solution of
extract fermented waste vegetable from market. This
means that the difference addition of glucose and
incubation time treatment have reciprocity and mutual
influence for pH and total lactic acid bacteria but not in
gram + / - and a type of fungus.
The addition of glucose is higher with the longer
incubation time period give the result for higher pH value,
the lowest pH value is the addition of glucose in level 2%
with 2 days of incubation time treatment (Table 2). The
decline pH value due to the microbes contained
Lactobacillus Sp. and Saccharomyces Sp. on solution liquid
extract of fermented waste vegetable from market
whereas they have heterofermentatif and
homofermentatif metabolism. Lactobacillus Sp. and
Saccharomyces Sp. on solution liquid extract fermented
waste vegetable from market can grow rapidly with
glucose and inhibit other microorganisms that have lactic
acid products. In line with the research that have been
done by Frazier and Westhoff (1988) extract fermented
waste vegetable from market has a pH around 3.4 to 3.8.
Glucose used as a source of energy that can be directly
utilized by the microbes with the final result in the form of
lactic acid on homofermentatif bacteria, while
heterofermentatif produce lactic acid and CO2. Increasing
the pH value in line with the length of storage, it is possible
as a result of secondary metabolites like H2O and CO2

accumulates on solution liquid extract fermented waste
vegetable from market into a weak acid (HCO3), result in a
rising pH. The best time of incubation on this study was in
2 days. This study is better than Barrangou et al. (2002)
with 2 days incubation declining down the pH from 6.5 to
4.2 with lactic acid bacteria population of 108 cfu. Acid-
producing microbes that grow in the liquid extract
fermented waste vegetable from market possible to
produce high acid with a low pH indicate as a good starter.
The quality on the solution of liquid extract fermented
waste vegetable from market showed that fermentation
process of acid-producing microbial fermentation to
produce lactic acid products running smoothly. A number
of spoilage bacteria that live only at high pH are not able to
grow due to not resistant to acid conditions. According to
Desrosier (1988) and Daulay and Rahman (1992), until
the 2nd day of the fermentation dominated by the growth
of Leuconostoc mesentroides produce acid from 0.7 to
1.0%, and after then the population were declined.
Population decline is due to the acid medium, unavailable
nutrients and the bacteria static phase had passed. Lactic
acid bacteria have contributed to lowering the pH rapidly
thus inhibiting growth of unwanted microbes. Enzyme
activity of the microbial heterofermentatif (Lactobacillus
Sp.) produces CO2 which makes anaerobic conditions and
create ideal environmental conditions for the continuation
of the species of lactic acid bacteria fermentation.
The combination treatment of 2% glucose and 2 days of
incubation time obtained the highest amount of total lactic
acid bacteria (Table 3).

The different super scripts in the same column and row shows
significant difference (P<0,05).
This phenomenon is a portrait of the lactic acid bacteria
in 2 days can grow well in the presence of 2% glucose.
Lactic acid bacteria can survive because of the nutrients
needed for growth available in liquid extract of fermented
waste vegetable from market. Glucose in the liquid extract
of fermented waste vegetable from market was used as an
energy source and suspected adequate the nutritional
needs for the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Widodo (2003)
stated that the growth and survival of lactic acid bacteria
(LAB) were influenced by several factors, as followed: the
fermentable carbohydrates (glucose), pH conditions of
about 4-5, the appropriate growth temperature and the
interaction between BAL strains itself is very likely affect
the composition of BAL in feedstuffs. Table 3 shows that
the number of log BAL decreases with increasing curing
time. This condition was due to lactic acid bacteria (LAB)
had reached phase static (fixed) and further lactic acid
bacteria population had declined due to death. The results
showed a growth phase optimal lactic acid bacteria at 48
hours, after which the population was declined because of
acid production inhibit the growth of microbes and
reducing the nutrients contained in the media. According
to Nurwantoro and Djariyah (1997) Microbial population
began to die due to lack of nutrients in the media, energy
reserve in the cell and also the possibility of acid produced
by the microbes themselves.
The results of the analysis indicated that there were no
significant effect between the treatments and the period
time of incubation with addition of glucose to the content
of gram-positive and gram-negative (Table 1). Microbes in
the liquid extract of fermented waste vegetable from
market were classified as gram-positive bacteria
Lactobacillus sp. and which were tend not to harm.
Lactobacillus Sp. on the extract of fermented waste
vegetable from market could grow rapidly with the salts
and glucose content as well as able to produce acid,
thereby inhibit the other microbes. Effective use of glucose
by 2 days of curing time can reduce the pH from 6.5 to 4.2
(Barrangou et al., 2002). Plasmolosis was being the action
mechanism of salts as selective media, because the salt has
a high osmotic pressure. Supardi and Sukamto (1999)
stated that the salt was hygroscopic thus it can absorb
water from the microbial cells resulting water activity
(aw) of these microbes is low. Salt can reduce the
solubility of oxygen, so aerobic microbes can be prevented
its growth. Total of salt are added to the study at 8% affect
microbial populations, so that only specific microbes can
grow main types of Lactobacillus Sp. Desrosier (1988)
stated that the salt in food can pressing the growth of
certain microbes through the limitation of available water,
can dry and cause plasmolisis cytoplasm. Therefore, the
salt can act as selectors needed to grow the organism in
the fermentation. Soeparno (1994) stated that a number of
bacteria growth was inhibite only by 2% salt content and
can cause of death.
The results of variety analysis showed that the factor
glucose, incubation time and the interactions did not give
significant affect for the type of fungi. The kind of yeast
obtained was Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This kind of yeast
naturally contained in liquid extract of fermented waste
vegetable from when glucose avalaible as a source for
growing. Yeast is also able to survive at pH 1.5 to 11.
Barrangou et al. (2002) said that the extract of fermented
waste vegetable from market contained several species of
bacteria such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus
brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus pentosaceus
and Saccharomyces cerevisiea. Saccharomyces cerevisiea
also used in animal feed as prebiotics and probiotics
because it contains β-glucan immunostimulan and mannan
oligosaccharides. Saccharomyces cerevisiea have special
characteristics in the diet because of its ability to produce
glutamic acid which able to increase the palatability of
substrate fermentation media. Specific interaction
between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and pathogenic bacteria
such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella ilustrated that
Saccharomyces as a binder of enterotoxigenic
enterobacteria can be react on the surface of the intestine
through the mannose-specific. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is
possible to maintain the condition of the digestive tract
when they live on the surface of cells of the small intestine

(Brugier and Patte 1975). Rose (1987) stated that the ideal
Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast culture used for the
production of the microbes intestinal can change, if the
intestinal pH in control. According to Leeson and Summers
(1996) Saccharomyces cerevisiae provided water supply to
deliver oxygen, thus enhancing the growth of microbes in
anaerobic conditions.
Based on the research of microbial characteristics on
liquid extract of fermented waste vegetable from market
with 2 days if incubation time and 2% glucose level were
give a pH of 3.71, log total lactic acid bacteria of 8.82 also
Lactobacillus Sp. and Saccharomyces sp as predominant
microbes. This result is the best and continued in
subsequent research.
Table 4 shows the effect of treatment of toluene
moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber,
nitrogen free extract material (NFE) and biomass. The
results of variety analysis indicate that there were several
treatments effect on the addition of liquid extract of the
fermented waste vegetable from market for toluene
moisture, ash, crude protein and crude fiber but for crude
fat content, nitrogen free extract materials (NFE) and
biomass were not.
The moisture content on the material reflected the
moisture content after fermentation. The higher use of
level extract liquid of fermented waste vegetable from
market makes the decrease of average amount for water
content of toluene. The decrease occurred because the
fermentation process takes place in an aerobic facultative
with microbial extracts contained in the liquid waste
vegetable market genus Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces
fermentation thus the by products of fermentation in the
vapor form of H2O and CO2. Fardiaz (1993) stated that
Saccharomyces produces gas and other volatile
compounds characterized by the smell of fermentation
products that dealing with the texture of fermented rice
bran. Changes in fermented rice bran arisen acid and
strong aroma. The proven given in this study that
fermentation process was runs smoothly and produces
secondary metabolites such as acids and CO2. The
fermentation process has the objective to produce a
product that has a nutrient content, texture, better
biological avalability, and also it can reduce the anti-
nutritional substances (Winarno, 1984).
Changes in the proximate in fermented rice bran of the
most influential are the change in the levels of crude
protein and crude fiber. Ash content, crude fat, NFE and
biomass are the result of the qualitative changes caused by
microbial role. The role of microbes in liquid extract of
fermented vegetable market waste can convert nutritional
components related to the ability of microbes to convert
protein and crude fiber as a source of protein and energy.
The best results of the study for the effectiveness of the
liquid extract of fermented waste vegetable from market
as a starter for the fermentation of rice bran in an effort to
improve the quality and utility as poultry feed ingredients,
namely the addition of treatment of waste liquid extract
fermented vegetable market on the basis of 40% of the
proteins that are relatively similar to unfermented but rice
bran content lower rough fibers and produce the highest
biomass (Table 4).

The fermentation process has the objective to produce
food that has nutritional content, texture, better biological
availibility, in addition, to reduce anti-nutritional
substances (Winarno, 1984). Tawwab et al. (2008) stated
that the granting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to improve
the digestibility of protein and fiber. The statement is
consistent with the results of the study Kumprechtova et
al. (2000) reported that supplementation with
Saccaromyces can improve the productivity of broiler
chickens, although the low protein content of the ration.
True metabolizable energy (TME) on rice bran and rice
bran fermentation fermentation without no different since
there is a gross energy content of rice bran and rice bran
on the fermentation is not much different. Gross energy
content of rice bran without fermentation is about
3965.78 kcal / kg, while the fermented rice bran of
4065.73. The 100 kcal difference gross energy were not
affected to the metabolic activity of broiler chickens

(Lopez and Leeson, 2007). Biological values of fermented
rice bran for broiler chickens after hatching as indicated
by retention nitrogen value, calcium, phosphorus and
metabolic energy proves that the availibility fermentation
rice bran is higher than without fermented rice bran.
IV. CONCLUSION
Utilities and benefit values of rice bran were increased
by the fermentation using 40% liquid extract of fermented
waste vegetable from market which in control by glucose
concentration of 2% glucose with 2 days incubation period
of time. The increasing values were seen from nitrogen,
calcium and phosphorus retention also from apparent
metabolizable energy (AME).

... The results obtained in this study were linear with Utama, which showed that the fermented rice bran produced a higher crude protein content compared to the crude protein content in unfermented rice bran which was 14.5%. The development and survival of LAB were influenced by various components, such as the fermentable carbohydrates (glucose), low pH conditions (pH 4-5) and temperature for growth 36 . ...
... This condition is related to the growth phase that has reached a static phase and a decline in the population that ends in the death phase. This is also related to the production of lactic acid, which can inhibit the growth of microbes itself and the decreasing availability of nutrients in the media, decreasing energy reserves in the cell 36 . ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate Lactobacillus fermentum (L.fermentum) and Moringa oleifera (M.oleifera) extract for the future development synbiotic to improve the nutrient content of rice bran fermented products to support health. The treatments are divided into 7 treatments: 1:control (without probiotic and without M.oleifera extract); 2:(1% L. fermentum); 3:(1% L. fermentum + 1% M.oleifera extract); 4:(1% L. fermentum + 2% M.oleifera extract); 5:(2% L. fermentum; 6:(2% L. fermentum + 1% M.oleifera extract); 7:(2% L. fermentum + 2% M.oleifera extract), and then incubated at 37ºC, 24 hours. Isolate L. fermentum (108 cfu/ml) which has been incubated with M. oleifera extract, then sprayed on the rice bran according to the each treatment, then incubated an aerob condition for 5 and 10 days. After the fermentation period was complete, a proximate analysis was carried out. Results: The addition of L. fermentum and M.oleifera extract could increase the crude protein content from 12.66% to 15.94% (2% L.fermentum + 2% M.oleifera extract on 5 days of fermentation), decrease crude fiber from 21.28% to 13.50% (2% L.fermentum + 1% M.oleifera extract on 5 days of fermentation), increase nitrogen free extract (NFE) from 43.81% to 51.53% (2% L.fermentum + 1% M.oleifera extract on 5 days of fermentation), increase metabolizable energy (ME) from 3006.97 kcal/kg to 3294.96 kcal/kg (1% L.fermentum + 1% M.oleifera extract, on 5 days of fermentation). The addition of 1% and 2% L.fermentum as probiotic and 1% and 2% Moringa oleifera extract as prebiotic had potential properties as synbiotic.

... Fermentation by fungi enhances the bioavailability of feedstuff for the animal (Ab Jalil et al. 2014;Ibrahim 2018;Olukomaiya et al. 2019) when the complex lignocellulosic materials are broken down into more accessible and simpler forms (Shrivastava et al. 2014;Sugiharto et al. 2015;Denardi-Souza et al. 2018). It has also been reported that it plays a role in increasing the protein content (Ezekiel et al. 2010;Ibrahim 2018;Karimi et al. 2019;Dawood et al. 2020) and the total energy of the feed (Ab Jalil et al. 2014;Khempaka et al. 2014) which consequently enhances the feed productivity (Setya Utama et al. 2013;Al-Harthi 2016;Ibrahim 2018;Sugiharto and Ranjitkar 2019). So, when fermentation enhances the productivity of a conventional (commercial) feed it can be used in lesser amounts to reach the required chicken market weight. ...

The most crucial and expensive fragment in the broiler chicken production industry is the feed. Because of the rising demand, finding a cheap and effective feed is an urgent necessity. Fermentation of broiler feed by probiotic fungal starters can enhance the nutrient's availability and digestibility while preventing pathogenic growth. In this study different Rhizopus spp. have been isolated from agricultural soils around Izmir, Turkey, and tested for their probiotic potential and fermentative capacity. The isolated Rhizopus strains first underwent microscopical fluorescent investigation to exclude endofungal bacterial presence , then, those without endofungal bacteria (totally 82) were tested for antimicrobial activity counter bacterial and fungal pathogens. The ones with wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity (totally 10) were tested for gastrointestinal tolerance and antioxidant ability. Upon phenotypic and genotypic identification, the 10 isolates were found to belong to Rhizopus oryzae species. While all 10 strains showed variable gastrointestinal tolerance and antioxidant activities, three of them (92/1, 236/2, and 284) had relatively high antioxidant activity. Upon fermentative capacity assay, compared to unfermented commercial feed, there was a general decrease in crude fiber content by 56% after fermentation by 92/1 isolate for 4 days and 236/2 isolate for 2 days. The highest increase in crude protein content (by 14.5%) occurred after a 4-day fermentation period by 236/2 isolate. The highest increase in metabolizable energy was 8.64%, by the 284 isolate after 2 days of fermentation. In conclusion, the three strains showed good probiotic properties and fermentative capacities hence can be beneficial for the poultry industry.

Allicin, an active compound of garlic and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) derived from the fermented cabbage and Chinese cabbages were reported provide positive effects to control the gastrointestinal micro-flora. However, interactive effect between Allicin and LAB to the fermented cabbage and Chinese cabbage juices simultaneously was not well defined. To the reason, an effect of addition of garlic in the fermentation process of cabbage and Chinese cabbage on the physic-organoleptic of the juice characteristics was examined. The study was conducted by a completely randomized design with 5 treatments i.e.: 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of garlic levels (weight based) and 3 replications of each. Parameters observed were the odor, color, texture, pH fermentation products. The results showed that although it is remained in a good category, the addition of garlic decreased the odor scores (p<0.05). The color and texture scores of fermentation products increased with increasing of the garlic concentration (p<0.05). The acidity of the effluent and substrate increased with the fermentation time (p<0.05), but at the end of the process the pH was relatively equal, that was 3-4 (p>0.05). It was concluded that the addition of garlic was able to improve the fermentation performance of vegetable juices.

Moringa oleifera stands out among non-legume trees and shrubs as a promising option for animal feed due to its high availability and excellent nutritive value. This chapter reviews results obtained in Cuba and in some Latin American countries with the use of moringa in poultry, swine and rabbit diets as partial substitute for soybean meal, maize or alfalfa. Physiological indicators are discussed, and the positive impact on monogastric animal growth, body composition and economy, in support of sustainable production. The variability of response shown by poultry, swine and rabbits in different experiments evaluating the use of leaf meals and leaf+stem meals is associated with variability in nutritive value, affect primarily by cutting age and the leaf:stem relationship of the moringa meal used. The optimum inclusion levels of moringa stem and leaf meals and moringa leaf meals must be specified for the different poultry species (geese, ostriches and quails) and in pigs, where scientific reports are scarce, as well as in rabbits, including breeding does and replacements.

Spent Coffee Ground (SCG) is characterized by high organic content, in the form of insoluble polysaccharides bound and phenol compounds. Phenol compounds are toxic to nature and are a cause of environmental pollution. Composting method of this study is aerobic static batch composting with temperature control with adding activators of some fungi such as Aspergillus sp, and Penicillium sp. The purpose of the research is to fill the research gap from previous studies of spent coffee grounds compost, which requires a long time in composting, so that if it is used directly on the soil and plants, the positive effect also requires a long time. The result of composting for 28 days with this method is that mature compost has black crumb and normal pH, with characteristics of C/N ratio below 10: C1 (7.06), C2 (6.99). This value is far from the control with a C/N ratio of 8.33. Decompose rate of macromolecule are above 40% for lignin and 70% for cellulose. Implementation of compost in radish plants, resulting Germination Index above 80% which indicates that the compost is ripe: control (92.39%), C1 (183.88%), C2 (191.86%). The results of the analysis with FTIR also showed that the compost was mature and stable, and rich in minerals. So, it can be concluded that this composting method can speed up composting time and optimize the results of compost produced.

Profile microbiological of pollard fermented with extract of waste vegetable market in different long ripened ABSTRACT. The purpose of fermentation is to produce a product (material feed) that have nutritional content, texture and better biological availability, while it also can reduce the anti-nutritional. Microorganisms are often used as probiotics in feed is kind of Lactobacillus sp and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Microorganisms are able to produce secondary metabolites such as β -glucan, mannan oligosaccharides and anti-cancer. Very familier as probiotic Lactobacillus among humans or livestock , while saccharomyces cerevisiae have specific characteristics in animal feed because of its ability to produce glutamic acid which can increase feed palatability. Grant Saccharomyces cerevisie can enhance digest protein and fiber, such as cellulose and hemicellulose , with Sacaromyces cerevisiea supplementation can increase the rate of short-chain fatty acids in cecum and suppresses the growth of bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae species. Observing the above, needed an activity to find additional engineering efforts antibiotics as a source of natural probiotic , prebiotic and synbiotic on the particular poultry and livestock in general, to take advantage of the waste as a probiotic supplement that naturally produced feed additives to support healthy organic livestock production and economically.

The meat and egg industries have undergone remarkable change over the last 30 yr, and it seems that this will continue, albeit at a slightly reduced rate, over the next 10 to 20 yr. The Americas and Asia will continue to meet world demand, and the only real challenge to the dominance of global poultry meat production will come from the swine industry. Broilers and layers in general are remarkably healthy, and we are now seeing unprecedented low levels of mortality. Our current success is due to genetic selection, availability of efficacious vaccines and antibiotics, and a growing awareness of the importance of biosecurity and general farm hygiene. An emerging area of concern in poultry nutrition is the accumulation of Zn and Cu in soil, and this may attract legislation regarding manure composition. Likewise, there is emphasis on quantitating NH3 release from many industries including agriculture. We are unlikely to see any major change in nutrient needs of broilers and layers over the next 20 yr. On the other hand, diet formulation, feeding programs, and production goals are continually changing, and these factors affect the work of poultry nutritionists. Our future roles will be governed by the need to accommodate ever-increasing genetic potential, the demand for simple diets devoid of most pharmaceutical products, and the effect of poultry products on human health. Traceability of meat and eggs is inevitable either through legislation or through marketing strategies. Such traceability will require accountability of the composition of poultry feeds. At best, quality control programs at feed mills provide information that is incorporated in a historical database. The feed industry will be compelled to develop real-time feed analysis.

An experiment was conducted to reevaluate the concept of using AME vs. AME(n) values for broiler diets. Growing male broilers and adult Leghorn roosters were fed either a single standard diet from 0 to 49 d or a series of starter (0 to 21 d), grower (21 to 35 d), and finisher (35 to 49 d) diets. Apparent ME and AME(n) were determined during 4 to 7, 11 to 14, 18 to 21, 25 to 28, 32 to 35, 39 to 42, and 46 to 49 d of age. Using the single diet after 7 d, the broiler consistently derives higher AME than do roosters. This same effect was seen with the multiple diet series for broilers. However when N correction is applied, the converse situation is seen, in that roosters consistently attain higher AME(n) than do broilers at any given age. Using a single diet, rooster AME and AME(n) values were unaffected by time, whereas broilers exhibit a quadratic relationship for both AME and AME(n) through 49 d. Nitrogen retention of roosters was rarely different from zero (P > 0.05). For broilers, there was a significant (P < 0.01) increase in grams of N retained each day over time, although when expressed as a percentage of N intake, there was decline over time, especially after 28 d of age. The N correction imposes a 4 to 5% reduction on the AME value of a single diet. When a commercial series of diets was used, the correction declined from 5.3% at 7 d to 3.8% at 49 d, reflecting the decline in protein content of the diet and the decline in N retention over time. This information suggests that if AME rather than AME(n) values are accepted, then roosters provide a good estimate of values applicable for broiler nutrition, because values are little different. Because there was less variance in energy values expressed as AME(n) rather than AME, it appears that there was sufficient bird-to-bird variation in growth, N retention, or both, to warrant the use of the correction factor.

A feeding comparative trial and a metabolic trial with chicken broilers were conducted to study the effect of continual applications of a probiotic (levels a0 - control, a1 - 100 g of probiotic/100 kg feeds, a2 - 200 g of probiotic/100 kg feeds) containing the Sc47 strain of the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae to BR1 feed mixtures of standard formulation and to BR2 feed mixtures with two different levels of crude protein (b0-21.97% CP and b1 - 19.49% CP), on broiler live weight, feed consumption in kg per 1 kg weight gain, nitrogen retention, fat, nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and fiber digestibility. N output in chicken droppings per 1 kg weight gain was another important parameter under observation. A total of 240 cockerels of ROSS hybrid were included in a feeding comparative trial. A metabolic trial was carried out on 48 cockerels from the 22nd day of age. The live weight of broilers at 21 days of age was not statistically significantly influenced by the levels of the probiotic while it was higher than in the control by 1.8% and 1.38%, respectively, in groups a1 and a2 at 42 days of age. The difference was not statistically significant. Positive effects of both levels of the probiotic were observed in cockerels receiving BR2 mixtures with a lower level of crude protein. The consumption of BR1 mixture was reduced by both levels of the probiotic in comparison with control (by 1.72% in a1, by 1.19% in a2). The applications of probiotics did not statistically significantly influence the consumption of BR2 mixture. A lower level of crude protein in BR2 mixtures resulted in significantly (P < 0.05) to highly significantly (P < 0.01) higher feed consumption per 1 kg weight gain (by 2.25% to 5.75% higher against control). The effect of both levels of the probiotic on feed consumption in kg per 1 kg weight gain was more pronounced when it was applied to feeds with a lower CP level. Slaughter yield was not statistically significantly influenced by applications of the probiotic and different CP levels in BR2 mixtures. The highest N retention on average (+5.25%) was determined in groups of broilers receiving BR2 mixtures with 200 g probiotic/100 g feed (a2). But the difference was not statistically significant. Statistically significantly higher N retention (P < 0.05) was determined for BR2 mixtures with a lower CP level than for those with a higher CP level. The highest coefficient of fiber digestibility on average was also calculated for groups a2. The difference from the control (+16.23%) was not statistically significant. Both levels of the probiotic decreased N output in droppings per 1 kg weight gain (5.79% in a1, 9.95% in a2), but the difference was not statistically significant. The effect of the lower CP level in BR2 mixture on N output in droppings per 1 kg weight gain was statistically highly significant (P < 0.01) (b1 - 13.59 against b0). The examination of A x B interaction showed an increase in N retention for feeds with both CP levels after the application 200 g probiotic/100 kg feed; the coefficient of fiber digestibility increased only in the groups that received the probiotic in feeds with a higher CP level; N output in droppings decreased as a result of the lower CP level in BR2 mixtures as well as of the increasing levels of probiotics. The experimental results indicate positive (statistically insignificant) effects of probiotic applications on broiler performance at a lower crude protein level and suggest a possibility of reducing the environmental nitrogen load.

This study was carried out to evaluate the use of commercial live bakers’ yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a growth and immunity promoter for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Fish (0.33 g) were randomly distributed at 25 fish per 140-L aquarium and fed a diet containing 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, or 5.0 g yeast/kg diet for 12 weeks. After the 12-week experimental period, fish of each treatment were challenged by pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila, which was given by interperitoneal (IP) injection and kept under observation for 10 days to record clinical signs and the daily mortality rate. The growth-promoting influences of bakers’ yeast were observed with fish and the optimum growth, feed utilization, and protein turn-over were obtained with 1.0–5.0 g yeast/kg diet. Also, yeast supplementation increased protein deposition in fish body. Biochemical parameters were improved in fish fed yeast up to 1.0 g/kg diet. Total fish mortality 10-days after IP injection with A. hydrophila and its count after incubation with fish serum decreased with the increase of yeast level in fish diets. However, the lowest fish mortality and bacterial counts were obtained in fish fed 5.0 g yeast/kg. These results indicate that bakers’ yeast supplement is promising as an alternative method to antibiotics for disease prevention in tilapia aquaculture, and the optimum level of live bakers’ yeast is about 1.0 g per kg diet.

The effects of a probiotic (a mixture of Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Clostridium, Saccharomyces and Candida) on the lipid metabolism, and caecal flora and metabolites of cocks were studied. The cholesterol level of the liver and serum was significantly decreased in the cocks fed on the cholesterol-enriched diet containing the probiotic. The distribution and frequency of occurrence of flora, and the chemical characteristics of the metabolites in the caecal content of the cocks were also affected by the inclusion of the probiotic in the basal and cholesterol-enriched diets. The Enterobacteriaceae species were significantly decreased in number, while the Bacillus, Streptococcus, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species were significantly increased. The presence of yeast was observed, and the ammonia level was significantly reduced. The pH value, however, was not affected. The concentration of short-chain fatty acids in the caecal content of the cocks fed on the cholesterol-enriched diet supplemented with the probiotic was increased. It is, therefore, suggested that the incorporation of a probiotic in the diet would improve the balance of the intestinal flora and metabolites. Furthermore, it would also suppress the serum and liver cholesterol levels of cocks fed on the cholesterol-enriched diet.
