Abstract

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Kaur feces as media on growth and biomass production of earthworm.This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. Each treatment gorup used the media to grow earthworms derived from 50% husk and 50% Kaur cattle feces fed different level of palm frond. Each replication contained 10 Pheretima sp aged of 2-3 days. Total earthworm used was 200 individuals. The treatment groups were as follows. P0 = 50% rice husks + 50% of Kaur feces (100% natural grass + sakura Block); P1= 50% rice husks + 50% Kaur feces (75% natural grass + 25% palm frond + Sakura Block); P2 = 50% rice husk + 50% Kaur feces (50% natural grass + 50% palm frond + sakura block); P3 = 50% rice husk + 50% Kaur feces (25% natural grass + 75% palm frond + Sakura Block)The results of analysis of variance showed that the treatments had no effect on the parent body weight gain per unit of the experiment (P> 0.05). The results of analysis of variance showed that treatmet of media had significantly affected (P <0.05) the production of biomass of Pheretima sp. In conculsion, feces of Kaur cattle fed 50% setaria + 50% palm frondv+ sakura block was the best media for maintaining Pheretima sp. as indicated by the highest biomass production.
