Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the physical characteristic and
palatability of corn plant waste after formed as a biscuit feed. Experimental design
used in this research was Completely Randomized Design with 6 treatments and 3
replications. The treatment were : R1(100% field grass), R2(50% field grass + 50%
corn leaf), R3(100% corn leaf), R4(50% field grass + 50% corn husk), R5(50%
corn leaf + 50% corn husk) and R6(100% corn husk). The results were subjected
to ANOVA and Contrast Orthogonal Test (Steel and Torrie, 1991). Biscuits feed
variables measured were moisture, water activity, water absorption, density, and
palatability. The results of this research indicated that the treatment of biscuit feed
made from field grass and corn plant waste gave highly significant effect (P
