Abstract

Organic waste is waste that can be decomposed entirely from biological processes and is easily decomposed. Organic waste has low nutrient content and high fibre. Efforts are made to increase the low nutrient content and reduce the high fibre content contained in organic waste, then fermented using local microorganisms (MOL). This study aimed to determine changes in fibre content (NDF, ADF and hemicellulose) in various fermented organic wastes. The method is an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors, namely various organic wastes and fermentation time, with three replications. The parameters of this study consisted of NDF, ADF and Hemicellulose. The study showed that the treatment of various organic wastes had a very significant effect (P < 0.01) on NDF, ADF and hemicellulose. Fermentation time had a very significant effect (P < 0.01) on ADF but had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on NDF and hemicellulose. There was a significant interaction (P < 0.01) between organic waste and fermentation time on ADF content, but there was an interaction with NDF and hemicellulose. Conclusion: Fermentation of various organic wastes and duration of fermentation using local microorganisms (MOL) can reduce the fibre content of NDF, ADF and hemicellulose. The best fermentation was obtained on vegetable media fermented for two days.
