High feed costs remain a major constraint in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture, requiring alternative feed formulations based on local ingredients with adequate nutritional quality. This study aimed to evaluate the proximate composition of fish feed formulated from snail meal, Azolla meal, and turmeric as a phytobiotic supplement. The study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design consisting of three treatments and three replications. The feed formulations were P1, consisting of 55% snail meal, 25% Azolla meal, 5% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour; P2, consisting of 39% snail meal, 39% Azolla meal, 7% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour; and P3, consisting of 25% snail meal, 51% Azolla meal, 9% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour. The analyzed parameters included protein, moisture, fat, ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrate contents. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by the Least Significant Difference test. The results showed that feed formulation significantly affected all proximate parameters. P3 produced the highest protein content of 43.87%, fat content of 3.68%, crude fiber of 3.11%, and carbohydrate content of 7.28%, while also producing the lowest ash content of 28.46%. Moisture content ranged from 1.11% to 1.30%, indicating good feed storage stability. These findings demonstrate that the integration of snail meal, Azolla, and turmeric can improve the nutritional quality of alternative Nile tilapia feed and support locally based sustainable aquaculture feed development.

Increasing in energy demand and limited fossil fuel reserves have driven the use of environmentally friendly alternative energy sources. This study aims to analyze the effect of pyrolysis temperature variations on the quality of biopellets made from bagasse and coffee husks. The materials were prepared in a 50:50 ratio with the addition of 15% tapioca flour as a binder. The pyrolysis process was carried out at temperatures of 450°C, 500°C, and 550°C for 120 minutes in oxygen-free conditions. The biochar resulting from pyrolysis was formed into biopellets, which were then tested for proximate composition, calorific value, and combustion rate. The results showed that an increase in pyrolysis temperature had a significant effect on the characteristics of the biopellets. A temperature of 550°C produced the lowest moisture content (8.436%), the highest fixed carbon content (62.191%), the highest calorific value (6293 cal/g), and the highest combustion rate (0.05789 g/sec). Conversely, ash content increased with rising temperature, while volatile matter content decreased. Thus, the best biopellets were obtained at a temperature of 550°C. This study confirms the potential of bagasse and coffee husks as raw materials for biopellets through pyrolysis temperature optimization to support the development of sustainable biomass energy.

This research was carried out using a qualitative method through a direct survey conducted in Tangga Batu Village. The main goal of this study is to utilize corn cob waste into an alternative fuel product in the form of briquettes that is more environmentally friendly. Corn cobs are one of the abundant agricultural wastes, but they are often not used optimally. Through simple innovations, this waste can be processed into alternative energy sources that have economic value while having added value for the surrounding community. The process of making briquettes begins with the preparation of equipment which includes a kiln, mold, drying container, mash tool, strainer, and scale. The main ingredient is corn cobs that are first dried in the sun for 3–4 days to reduce the moisture content by 10–20%. Additional materials used are tapioca flour as an adhesive, small amounts of diesel, and water. The next stage is to compose the corn cobs in the burning pit for 20–30 minutes until they become charcoal. The charcoal is then scraped using a simple tool and sifted to separate the fine and rough parts. The fine charcoal is mixed with a starch adhesive from tapioca flour, then molded using a simple mold and compacted through a pressing process to produce good quality briquettes. Next, the briquettes are dried in the sun for 2-3 days until they are completely dry and ready to be used as fuel instead of wood or kerosene. The results of the study show that corn cob waste has great potential to be used as an alternative fuel. In addition to being environmentally friendly, these products also contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
