Use pineapple products as animal feed

Besides pineapple processing for export, the remaining byproducts such as shoots, pineapple baits ... even the thorny pandan leaves can also be used as feed for ruminants like cattle. This feed source currently used little noticed, but to waste huge.
Accessories include the pineapple buds and tops of pineapples, hard outer shell, the crumbling during processing pineapple, pineapple pulp presses and whole leaves of pineapple. This kind of byproducts annually in the pineapple plantations and processing facilities huge pineapple. 1ha pineapple estimated to replant destroyed after 2 collection will leave 50 tons of fruit pineapple leaf; 1 ton of pineapples for processing under frozen pineapple processing for 0.25 tons 0.75 tons of standard product and by-products, ie raw pineapple every 1kg 4kg finished product; 1 ton of pineapples for processing canned process was 0.35 tons to 0.65 tons of standard product and byproducts.

 

Pineapple-product has high fiber content, low protein can be used as feed for cattle with proper ratio. Besides, pineapple products with high sugar content is readily soluble, facilitate fermentation, silage can be fed to replace part of forage in the diet of cattle.
How fermented pineapple products.
Formula composting:
May apply one of the following incubation formula:
1. 75% + 25% shoots pineapple peel and pulp Pineapple + 0.5% salt.
2. 100% of buds, stems and leaves of pineapple + 0.5% salt.
3. 100% pineapple peel and squeeze baits + 0.5% salt.
4. 50% of the buds and other products + 50% corn + 0.5% salt.

Annealing:
Composters: floating digester was built on the ground, covered over. Digester size depending on the size of each herd. Households may utilize water tank or silo pig stalls. Also can be used nylon bags for composting, can make use of the fertilizer sack incubated bags, nylon bag outside the bag fabric to make.

Procedure:
Brewed in the pit: Cut material with 3 to 5 cm in length, 20 cm thick sprayed in layers, one layer after spraying is complete once again sprinkle salt. after spraying is to use several layers of tightly compacted to air no longer in the digester, the digester surface coated nylon, the top pour a thick layer of soil from 30 to 40cm.
Brewed in nylon bag: The material is cut with a smaller length on how to compost, paragraph 2 to 3 cm, 15 cm thick sprayed in layers, one layer after spraying is complete once again sprinkle salt. After several re-compacted layer. When the bag is full bag strapped mouth, then tightly with burlap. The bag is put upright and buried under ground or stacked in a dry, cool place, avoid direct sunlight which was brewed.
Feeding:
After incubation for 3 weeks can get used as feed for cattle along with other food items. Pineapple-product can be used to replace silage from 40 to 60% of forage (eg elephant grass) in the diet of cattle.
Where feed to get there and after taking food to carefully covered to avoid damaging the remaining amount of food.
