Abstract

Agricultural solid wastes are available abundantly, and not yet fully utilized. Wastes, such as rice straw, could be used, for example, as an animal feed. However, its low digestibility due to high fiber content and low nutrition value has limited its application. In this research, isolation of soil microbes that is potential for degrading roughage had been initiated. The isolated microbes were then characterized and were used for treating rice straw. The quality of treated rice straw was analyzed using Van Soest analysis. Based on the appearance of microbial colonies, four types of fungi (designated as J1, J2, J3 and J4 respectively) and four types of bacteria (designated as B1, B2, B3 and B4 respectively) were identified. Van Soest analysis showed that treatment with fungi J3 gave the best results amongst soil microbes tested. Treatment with fungi J3 had decreased the content of neutral detergent fiber (13.45%), acid detergent fiber (9.25%) and lignin (9.65%) of treated rice straw. This finding suggests that the isolated microbes may be utilized as a good bio activator agent that can increase the nutritional and economical values of rice straw, as an animal feed.
