Abstract
Research on citronella waste using Amofer technology (ammoniated fermentation) treatment was carried out to increase its nutritional content so that it becomes a quality alternative feed. Analysis of physical quality, pH, fresh weight and percentage of fungi in citronella waste used a completely randomized design divided into four treatments based on different fermentation times, namely P0 = day P1 = 7 days, P2 = 14 days and P3 = 21 days. The results showed that amofer treatment with different curing times affected the physical quality of citronella straw waste, P2 and P3 showed significant differences (P<0.05). Amofer treatment with curing for 21 days is able to degrade the essential aroma which is a limiting factor in the palatability level of livestock for feed.
