The Effects of Fermentation on Banana Leaves (Musa spp.) as an Alternative Feed for Ruminant

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the nutritional value of fermented banana leaves as an alternative feed for ruminant and to compare the effects of using different additives including molasses, effective microorganisms (EM) and urea on the nutritional value in the fermented banana leave...

The banana leaves were fermented for 21 days and 35 days and each of them were divided into 3 different samples which were, sample A (control) fermented without any additives added, sample B (treated) fermented with inclusion of 3% of molasses, 3% of effective microorganisms (EM) and 0.5% of urea, and sample C (treated) fermented with inclusion of 5% of molasses, 4% of effective microorganisms (EM) and 1% of urea.

The fresh banana leaves samples were also analysed to compared the difference between fresh and fermented banana leaves. The pH value for both 21 days and 35 days were significant.
