Abstract

Silage is a fermented high-water content feed given to ruminants. The production of silage from water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) is carried out by combining the grindery and fermentation processes.This equipment had 1420 rpm of agitation and 0.5 hp of electricity.Aspergillus nigerwas used in the fermentation process. The result showed that the average of silage size was the same, the production effectiveness increased, and so does the protein levels. By increasing the amount of Aspergillus nigerloading, it improved the amount of protein levels, 5.6 %, in the silage. In addition, this also increased the pH level inside the process more acidic than that of lower loading.
