KECERNAAN IN VITRO DAUN KELOR YANG DIFERMENTASI TRICHODERMA KONINGIOPSIS AA1

Moringa oleifera leaves, which are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, have the potential to be an alternative feed for livestock. However, moringa leaves contain anti-nutrients such as tannins, saponins, and oxalates that can inhibit the digestion process. To overcome this problem, fermentation using Trichoderma koningiopsis AA1 can be a solution. This study aims to evaluate the in vitro digestibility of moringa leaves fermented with Trichoderma koningiopsis AA1. This study used an experiment designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The experiment conducted in this study was the fermentation of moringa leaf flour with a fermentation time treatment of 0 days (P0) and 6 days (P1). Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The variables observed included dry matter digestibility (DMD), organic matter digestibility (OMD), and crude protein digestibility (CPD). The results showed that fermentation of moringa leaves for 6 days with Trichoderma koningiopsis AA1 can significantly reduce DMD and OMD. Meanwhile, fermentation of moringa leaves can significantly increase CPD.
