Substitution of commercial feed with fermented banana peel flour (Musaceaea sp.) and fish meal to crude protein, energy, crude lipid and organic matter of meat in siamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus)

This study aims to determine the effect of commercial feed substitution using fermentation of banana peel flour and fish meal on crude protein content, energy, crude fat, and organic matter in siamese catfish. This research used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and four replications. The treatments used included P0 (100% commercial feed), P1 (commercial feed 95% + 5% FTKPTI), P2 (commercial feed 90% + 10% FTKPTI), P3 (commercial feed 85% + 15% FTKPTI) and P4 ( commercial feed 80% + 20% FTKPTI). The parameters observed were crude protein content, energy, crude fat, and organic materials in the siamese catfish meat. The data obtained were then analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that crude protein content in fish receiving fermentation of banana peel flour was significant different than those fish receiving fish meal (p 0.05) on energy content, there was a significant difference (p 0.05) on the organic matter content in the siamese catfish meat. Fermented banana peel flour and fish meal can be used as a substitute for commercial feed up to a dose of 20%.
