2048 | Interaction of Cultural Media Composition with EM4 Dosage on Population Growth,
Biomass and Nutritional Content Silk Worm (Tubifex SP)
on the maintenance media was still in the
optimal value, namely 6.39-6.59. Safrudin et
al (2005) stated that at neutral pH, bacteria
can break down organic matter normally
into simpler ones that are ready to be used
by silkworms as food, ranging from 6.02-
7.76. The ammonia content was still at the
optimum limit for the growth of silk worms.
Ammonia content during the study ranged
from 1.6 to 2.4 mg/L. This is in accordance
with Anggraini's (2017) statement that the
optimum range for the growth of silk
worms is <3.6 mg/L.
CONCLUSIONS
The interaction of the composition of
the culture media with the dose of EM4 on
population growth and biomass of
silkworms (Tubifex sp) had a very
significant effect. The highest daily length,
population and biomass growth was
obtained in the combination treatment of
25% chicken manure + azolla pinnata +
25% rejected bread with a dose of EM4 of
2 ml (D2M2) on day 20 with an average
length growth of 9.27 mm. , the average
population was 27482.9 ind/m2
and
the
average biomass was 8.52 grams, while
the nutrient content of silk worms (Tubifex
sp) reared with different compositions of
culture media and EM4 doses obtained
results. D3M3 treatment obtained the
highest protein content. ie 50.88, then
D2M2 obtained a protein content of
43.47.
