Abstract

Pineapple leaf waste is a by-product generated after pruning activity at farm sites. Usually, the waste is thrown away and left at the farm sites until it decomposes naturally. One of the possible solutions in handling the pineapple leaf waste is by converting it into animal feeds. Interestingly, feeding dairy cows with pineapple waste significantly increase the production of milk due to its fiber content. Hence, the objective of this project was to convert the pineapple leaf waste into feed pellets for dairy cows. The pineapple leaf waste was collected from Pekan Pina Sdn. Bhd in Pekan, Pahang. The waste was analyzed for its nutritional values (protein, fiber, ash, fat and sugar) using standard AOAC methods before converting into pellets by densification process. The physical properties of pellets such as friability, bulk density, true density, hardness and porosity were determined. From the analysis, the pineapple leaf waste has high fibre content which may help increasing the milk production in dairy cows. The ranges of pellet’s friability, bulk density, true density, hardness and porosity were between 0.71-1.51 %, 300.56-343.33 kg/m3, 1474.33-1513.67 kg/m3, 1.05-3.9 kg/cm2 and 76.71-80.14%, respectively.Pineapple leaf waste is a by-product generated after pruning activity at farm sites.

菠萝叶废弃物生产奶牛颗粒

菠萝叶废料是在农场现场修剪活动后产生的副产品。通常，废物被扔掉，留在农场，直到它自然分解。处理菠萝叶废物的一个可能的解决方案是将其转化为动物饲料。有趣的是，用菠萝渣喂养奶牛可以显著提高牛奶产量，因为菠萝渣中含有大量纤维。因此，该项目的目标是将菠萝叶废物转化为奶牛的饲料颗粒。以北坎凤梨山凤梨叶废弃物为研究对象。彭亨州北坎的Bhd公司。在通过致密化工艺转化为颗粒之前，使用标准AOAC方法分析废物的营养价值(蛋白质、纤维、灰分、脂肪和糖)。测定了球团的脆性、容重、真密度、硬度、孔隙率等物理性能。分析表明，菠萝叶废弃物纤维含量高，有助于提高奶牛的产奶量。颗粒的破碎度、容重、真密度、硬度和孔隙率分别为0.71 ~ 1.51%、300.56 ~ 343.33 kg/m3、1474.33 ~ 1513.67 kg/m3、1.05 ~ 3.9 kg/cm2和76.71 ~ 80.14%。菠萝叶废料是在农场现场修剪活动后产生的副产品。通常，废物被扔掉，留在农场，直到它自然分解。处理菠萝叶废物的一个可能的解决方案是将其转化为动物饲料。有趣的是，用菠萝渣喂养奶牛可以显著提高牛奶产量，因为菠萝渣中含有大量纤维。因此，该项目的目标是将菠萝叶废物转化为奶牛的饲料颗粒。以北坎凤梨山凤梨叶废弃物为研究对象。彭亨州北坎的Bhd公司。在通过致密化工艺转化为颗粒之前，使用标准AOAC方法分析废物的营养价值(蛋白质、纤维、灰分、脂肪和糖)。测定了球团的脆性、容重、真密度、硬度、孔隙率等物理性能。分析表明，菠萝叶废弃物纤维含量高，有利于提高乳制品产量。
