Engineering Equipment for Feed Production Added Duck Livestock and Catfish in Weru District, Sukoharjo Regency

Abstract

The integrated group of duck and catfish fisheries in Jatingarang Village, Weru District,
Sukoharjo Regency is able to make added feed to reduce the use of factory-made feed. The
production of added feed is done in a simple way because they do not have additional feed
production equipments. This activity aims to develop: a pressure cooker to process poultry
feathers into added feed for ducks and a mill for duck feces and a mixer for duck feces flour
for added feed for catfish fisheries. The activity begins with observations, surveys and
coordination with partners to determine the design, construction, and capacity of the
equipment. Furthermore, the equipments resulting from the activities are tested and
finishing processes before being handed over. The results of the activity are: Pressure
cooker with a capacity of 30 kg/hour, dimensions (LxWxH) = 90x90x105 mm, using a heat
source from a single burner LPG stove. The pressure cooker is able to soften the poultry
feathers as much as 8 kg per 15 minutes, five times greater than using a boiling pot. Milling
and mixing machines are used to mill duck feces that has been solid and dry with a capacity
of 100 kg/hour. Dimensions (LxWxH) = 150x90x105, driven by a 6.5 HP spark ignition
engine
