MESIN PENCACAH DAUN DAN PELEPAH KELAPA SAWIT UNTUK PETERNAK SAPI DI DESA PANCAR GADING KECAMATAN TAPUNG KABUPATEN KAMPAR - RIAU

Abstract Animal feed such as cattle is not only made from grass, animal feed can also be produced from palm leaves. The vast area of ​​oil palm plantations in Riau in general and in Kampar in particular, has not been used optimally for animal feed. The Merpati Putih Foundation, which is located in Pancar Gading Village, Tapung District, Kampar Regency, Riau, has 600 cattle. Cattle feed is received by farmers from farmers who weed every day, but the feed collected by farmers always does not meet the required cattle feed, so a solution to this problem is needed. The service activity carried out is to provide a solution in the form of a feed chopper machine that can chop palm leaves and sheaths into animal feed so that the need for animal feed is no longer a problem. To meet the required animal feed, a chopper machine with a large capacity is needed. The chopper that will be provided is made with a capacity of 4,000 to 5,000 kg per hour where the feed chopper uses a Mitsubishi PS 100 engine, which is a machine that is durable and easy to maintain. The chopping machine will be used by two partners at once, namely farmers as suppliers of animal feed and farmers as cattle owners. From the results of the activities carried out, it is hoped that farmers and ranchers will get an increase in their respective production results, namely adequate feed with easily obtained raw materials, namely abundant palm oil and for farmers, namely fat and healthy cows so that they get a high selling price.
