ANIMAL FEED FROM DOMESTIC WASTE IN ACHIEVE SDGS 2030

Indonesia is one of the countries with a fairly high genetic diversity of livestock. In the Domestic Animal Diversity – Information System (DAD-IS) database of FAO (2021), 206 large ruminants, small ruminants, poultry and pigs were recorded. According to the Domestic Animal Diversity – Information System (DAD-IS) FAO (2021), there are as many as 52 species of chickens in Indonesia. We are currently in the New Normal Era. All humans in the world minimize activities outside the home to avoid exposure to the corona virus. This causes domestic waste to increase.

Entering the global pandemic, there will be adjustments and changes in animal food supply patterns due to changes in human activities. FAO (2021) states that it is necessary to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the livestock sector, so that it must pay attention to its impact in terms of livestock production, processing of livestock products, transportation (global, regional and local), sales and consumption of animal food ingredients. However, currently the focus is on livestock production.

Domestic waste in the form of leftover rice, leaf scraps, meat scraps, and other food scraps. The waste can be used to feed chickens at home. Just like humans, farm animals also need nutrients to grow and develop. Compounds needed are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. In addition to food waste, tofu dregs can also be used for animal feed. A good animal feed is one that contains crude fiber. Tofu pulp contains higher crude fiber than commercial concentrate, which is 31.10% (Laryska and Tri 2013).

In this paper, an innovation is written, namely mixing domestic food waste with tofu dregs in a 1:1 ratio. Leftover food that contains a lot of protein, vitamins, minerals, water, carbohydrates, and fat plus tofu dregs which contains crude fiber will be good for livestock, especially chickens. This innovation utilizes domestic food waste and tofu dregs to become animal feed so as to realize zero waste. The Zero Waste Movement can be seen as a step to or a solution of responsible consumption and production at point 12 in the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
