Abstract

This study evaluates the productivity of cocoa crop waste as feed ingredients in North Toraja Regency in terms of production and nutritional content. The research was conducted in Salu Sarre from April to June 2024, the second harvest season, using primary and secondary data. Sampling was carried out using the simple random sampling method with a total sample of 3 largest farms in the area. Data processing methods with descriptive analysis. The results of the analysis show that plant age affects productivity and skin percentage. As for the nutritional content by comparing with grass used as feed material, the results are not so different, but it is necessary to evaluate the high fiber content which is feared will reduce digestibility and even interfere with the digestive system. Therefore, it is necessary to further evaluate the fiber content and fiber fraction because it is a factor that inhibits the digestibility of feed ingredients.
