Mutu Jagung yang Diperdagangkan di Kota Jambi Diukur Berdasarkan Nilai Bulk Density dan Kandungan Serat Kasar

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality maize based on physical characteristics. Samples were taken from 17 poultry shops (PS) in Jambi City and divided into 3 groups sales turnover (large, medium, small) each group consisted 6 PS. Pure corn used as a control. A total kg samples PS, randomly sacks corn. Corn measured for bulk density (BD) analyzed crude fiber (CF). results showed that BD CF not affected by scale. There adulteration cobs 6.78, 7.67 15.47% granulated, crushed milled corn, respectively. circulating is turnover. chemical reflected (Y, %) can be predicted (g/ml) using equation Y= -0.0285X + 21.83, r2= 0.65.Maize being main energy source feed Indonesia. authorities therefore, must guarantee available markets meet Indonesian standards. Determination standards still nutrient contents obtained through analysis, which very expensive time consuming. purpose value (CF) content maize, these two parameters then correlated obtain prediction equation. scale small). Each represented PS maize.Obtained subjected measurement analysis. proportion ground traded at according 0.65.
