ABSTRACT

Cassamore is a feed ingredient containing cassava, palm kernel meal and moringa, made as a substitute for corn feed. This study aimed to evaluate steam's effect on the physical, chemical and total solubility properties of cassamore. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments applied were ground corn (P0), cassamore without steam (P1), cassamore steam for 5 minutes (P2) and cassamore steam for 10 minutes (P3). Data on physical properties and total solubility were analyzed using ANOVA and, if significantly different (P<0.05), continued with Duncan's test, while chemical properties were analyzed descriptively. Based on the research results, the physical properties of cassamore were different compared to corn. Steam treatment increased the bulk density, tapped density and angle of repose in the cassamore significantly (p<0.05). Meanwhile the duration of steam has no significant effects on physical properties parameters. Total solubility between corn and cassamore was the same and could not be increased by steam treatments and the difference is not significant (p>0.05). Based on descriptive analysis, both steamed and non-steamed cassmore had nutritional equivalents to corn but had higher crude fiber and slightly lower energy so that cassmore has potential value to substitute corn.
