Use Of Different Planting Media To The Content Of Organic Matter, Ash, And Crude Protien From Hydroponic Corn Fodder

Abstract

Fodder is a plant that is given to livestock to meet the nutrients needed by livestock, its feeding can be fresh or dried forage, grain or tuber form, and in silage form. This study aims to determine the influence of hydroponic planting media on the content of organic matter, ash and crude protein of corn fodder. The method used was a complete randomized design (CRD) with differences in planting media as a treatment, the research treatment included P0= plain water, P1 = rice-washing water, P2 = soybean soaking water, and P3 = tofu wastewater, each treatment is repeated 5 times. Parameters in this study were the content of organic matter, ash, and crude protein. The statistical analysis used was ANOVA at the level of 5%. If there is a discrepancy, continue with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) test. The results showed that the difference in the use of planting media did not give a real effect (P>0.05) on the content of organic matter and ash, but a real effect (P<0.05) on the crude protein content of corn fodder hydroponic.
