EFEKTIVITAS PEMBERIAN PAKAN BERBAHAN KULIT PISANG TANDUK (Musa paradisiaca) TERFERMENTASI DENGAN JAMUR TEMPE (Rhizopus sp) TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN IKAN NILA (Oreochromis niloticus)

Tilapia is a fish that is in great demand among farmers and the public, because the growth rate of tilapia is faster when kept in shallow ponds or aquariums. Feed functions as a provider of energy for the activities of body cells such as growth, development and production. Artificial feed is fish food made from a mixture of natural ingredients, on the other hand feed is also the largest component of 50-70% of production costs. Banana peels are only a waste and have not been widely used, the nutritional content of banana peels is crude protein (PK) 6.31%, crude fat (LK) 8.89%, crude fiber (SK) 11.57% and dry matter (BK). ) 89.75%. Banana peel which is a source of carbohydrates plays a role in fulfilling 40-75% of energy sources. Rhizopus sp includes microorganisms that are widely used in food and feed processing, Rhizopus biomass also has a protein content of up to 50% so that it is an alternative source of protein for food or feed. This study aims to examine the performance of the feed, the growth performance of fish fed feed containing fermented banana peels.
