Abstract
The research was intended to study the availability and nutrient content of
waste product of sugar cane (bagasse, molasse and sugar cane top) in integrated beef
cattle with sugar mill and sugar cane farming. Based on the data, it was formulated
the ration for beef cattle, and known the carrying capacity of the sugar cane area
for supporting feedstuff for beef cattle. The methodology of research was survey,
proximate analysis and linear programming. Based on the survey, it was found that
the production of bagasse was 27.60 ton/Ha/year (46% of sugar cane production);
molasse was 1.27 ton/ha/year (1.99% of sugar cane production); and sugar cane
top was 10.57 ton/ha/year (43.42% of sugar can production). Nutrient contents of
bagasse were 79.01%, 2.15%, 40.45%, 1,44%, and 50.33% for dry matter (DM),
crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), fat (F) and nitrogen free extract (NFE)
respectively. Dry matter, CP, CF, F and NFE contents of molasses were 13.29 %,
12.33%, 0.63%, 17.83% and 63.98%, respectively. The content of sugar cane top
was 27.29%, 7.59%, 40.39%, 1.51% and 40.67% for those parameters, respectively.
The result of ration formulation based on the nutrition content for beef cattle (CP
11 %, and TDN 62.5%) was sugar cane top 25%, bagasse 30%, molasses 5 %, and
other feedstuffs 40 %. The other feed stuffs were rice brain 15 % and coconut meal
15 %, and waste of tofu 10%. The area could support fodder for 1,478, 8,403 and
398 beef cattles every year, based on availability of sugar cane top, bagasse, and
molasses respectively.

The sustanable feed resource s the mportant factor to support Indonesan

began to face the dffcultes to get the fodder because of lmtaton of area to
plant the forage. Most of the land s used for others; e.g.; plantatons, agrcultures,
hortcultures, buldngs, etc.
In Solok Regency, West Sumatra, There s a center of tradtonal sugar plantaton that s located n Talang Babungo Vllage. It has 415 hectare area of sugar plantaton that s owned by 530 farmers. The farmers resulted 3280 ton tradtonal sugar
every year. Besdes that, there are by- products of plantaton that s potental for the
source of fodder; namely sugar cane top, bagasse and molasses. Unfortunately; the
potency s stll wasted, whereas there are about 500 beef cattles that are depend on
tradtonally fed wth grass by the farmers.
Based on the problem, t s needed to study the potency of the by-products
as source of fodder of beef cattle. As the prelmnary studes, we want to know the
producton and the nutrent content of the byproducts. Besdes that, we tred to formulate the raton of beef cattle wth usng the products. Based on the formula, we
could calculate the carryng capacty of the by-products to support avalablty of
fodder for beef cattle n the ntegrated farmng.
Materals and Methods
The materals used n the present research were sugar cane top, bagasse,
molasses and chemcal materals for proxmate analyss. The devce was measurng
tape, GPS, scale (capacty 550 kg) and a set of proxmate analyss nstrument.
Besdes that, t was used sugar cane mll (3 rollers type) wth a 24 HP engne.
The data of avalablty of byproducts were obtaned by survey where samplng
was collected by stratfed random samplng. Strata of the samples were based on
alttude of the area; .e.; 1000-1100 m and 1100-1200 m above the sea level. The
nutrton content of the products was be determned by proxmate analyss. Lnear
programmng was appled for raton formulaton wth sugar cane byproducts as
man fodder. Based on the avalablty and raton formula could be determned the
carryng capacty.
Results and Dscusson
Productions of bagasse, sugar cane top and molasses
The producton of bagasse, sugar cane top and molasses n Talang Babungo
vllage, Solok regency, West Sumatra s presented n Table 1. On the table show
that the total producton of sugar cane was nfluenced by the alttude of the land;
the hgher the locaton, the hgher the producton. The average of producton was
63.69 Ton/Ha/year. The producton of bagasse was 27.70/ha/year (43.42% of total
producton). The producton of sugar cane top was 10.57 ton/ha/year (16.79 %
of total producton); meanwhle the producton of molasses was 1.17 ton/ha/year

Proceeding of the 2nd International Seminar on Animal Industry | Jakarta, 5-6 July 2012
(1.19% of total producton). The producton s equvalent wth 19.4 ton/ha/year, 2.9
ton/ha/year, and 0.2 ton/ha/year dry matters of bagasse, sugar cane top and molasses
accordngly. There were 415 Ha area of sugar cane plantaton n locaton of the
research, so t can be predcted that the avalablty of bagasse, sugar cane top and
molasses n Talang Babungo vllage were 8069, 1197, and 65 ton of dry matters/
year.
Nutrient content of the by-products
The nutrent content of the by-products s presented n Table 2. The bagasse
contans hghly dry matter (DM) and crude fber (CF), but lower n crude proten
(CP) and fat. Sugar cane top contans DM and CP relatvely the same as grass, so t
can be used for substtutng the grass, but CF s relatvely hgher. The molasses s

was need to add other fodder to formulate the raton for beef cattle.
Formulation of Ration
Raton formulaton of beef cattle used bagasse, sugar cane top, molasses and
others fodder generate formula as beng shown n Table 3. In the table show that 60
