Pengaruh Media Biakan Fermentasi dengan Mikroba yang Berbeda terhadap Produksi Maggot Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens)

Abstract

. This study aims to determine the effect of different fermentation culture media on the production of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) maggot. This research used experimental method completely randomized design (CRD) with 3x3 factorial pattern with 3 replications. Factor A was the type of culture medium used, A1: Coconut dregs, A2: Tofu dregs and A3: Wasted fruit. Factor B was the type of microorganism used,B1: EM-4, B2: Natura organic decomposer and B3: Probio-7. The variables observed were maggot production, fresh weight (kg), length (cm), population density (tail/cm 3 ) and crude protein content (%). The results showed that there was an interaction between factor A (type of media) and factor B (type of microbe) and had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on fresh weight and crude protein content of maggot, but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the length and density of the maggot population. The conclusion of this research was tofu dregs culture medium fermented with Natura organic decomposer gives the best results, with the production of fresh weight 0.2215 kg, long 2.00 cm, population density 2.01 tails/cm 3 and crude protein content 52.40%.
