Abstrak

The research aimed at evaluating the consumption and economic potential of tamarind seeds as local
grower pig feed has been carried out in the Livestock Production Laboratory of Kupang State Agricultural
Polytechnic. The study used 20 local male grower pigs. The study used a randomized block design with
two treatments (R0 = feed containing without fermented tamarind seeds, R1 = feed containing fermented
tamarind seeds) and ten replications. The research variables are the rations consumption, income over feed
cost, and feed cost per gain. The results showed that fermented tamarind seed feed had a significant effect
(P<0.05) on feed consumption and income over feed cost (IOFC), and (P<0.10) feed cost per gain with their
respective values ie, 0,45 and 0,53 kg/head/day, Rp.596.095,64 and Rp. 764.310,93, and Rp. 29.075,53 /
kg and Rp. 24.250,03 / kg. In conclusion, feed containing fermented tamarind seeds has better economic
potential compared to fermented sour seedless feed and it is recommended that the local government adopt
a policy in the use of tamarind seeds, especially fermented tamarind seeds as pig feed.
Key words: grower pig, income over feed cost, feed cost per gain
