QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF THE EARTHWORM LUMBRICUS RUBELLUS AS RAW FEED VERMICOMPOSTING RESULTS OF BEEF CATTLE FAECES

This research has been conducted in the Laboratory of Microbiology and Animal Waste Management Faculty of Padjadjaran University in Bandung. The Purpose of this study was to determine the effect of C/N ratio feces of beef cattle through vermicomposting of quantity and quality of the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. This research is conducted in a laboratory experiment using a complete random design with 3 treatments and 6 times repeated, P1 = C / N ratio 25, P2 = C / N ratio 30 and P3 C / N ratio 35. To know the effect of treatment, the data obtained were analyzed with a variety of prints and Tukey test. The results showed that treatment be given effect on the quantity (biomass) earthworm Lumbricus rubellus, the quantity (biomass) the highest worm Lumbricus rubellus obtained in treatment P1 = 337.66 ± 8.89 g, but the treatment given is not have real impact on the quality of earthworms Lumbricus rubellus (crude protein content), crude protein content in the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus ranged 58.83± 2.04% – 59.1 ± 2.04%.
