INTRODUCTION
The current growth of the palm oil industry which reaches 14.85 million ha is a leading commodity that contributes to the country’s foreign exchange and the largest employment opportunities in Indonesia (Direktorat Jenderal Perkebunan, 2019). The palm oil industry in addition to producing oil also has the potential to produce quite large by-products that can be utilized as ruminant feed (Abubakr et al., 2015). By-products of oil palm plantations play an important role in the production of ruminants considering the decreasing availability of forage for livestock growing in oil palm plantation areas (Purwantari et al., 2015; Ooi et al., 2017). Palm fronds are by-products that are abundant and available throughout the year, which is 47% out of the total oil palm waste (Nordin et al., 2017). Each hectare of oil palm plantations produces 6,500-7,500 fronds per year (Nurhaita et al., 2011; Hakim and Suherman, 2018; Pahan, 2021). Oil Palm Fronds (OPF) cannot be given to ruminants in a single form because they have a very high fiber content (Ebrahimi et al., 2015; Warly et al., 2015; Rusli et al., 2021), and lignin up to 30% (Febrina et al., 2016), as well tannins and phenolics (Jaffri et al. 2011) which can inhibit rumen microbial synthesis (Pollegioni et al., 2015; Li et al., 2016; Febrina et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2020). Therefore, the use of palm fronds as animal feed must be made to establish pretreatment methods of OPF to improve the nutritional quality and rumen microbial synthesis (Warly et al., 2017; Chanjula et al., 2017; Nunes and Kumar, 2018; Rusli et al., 2019).
Sakura block is a feed supplement modified by urea molasses block (UMB) with a mixed formulation of the main raw materials of waste coconut sugar, bran, corn, sago, urea, and minerals that can provide a balance of energy, nitrogen, and other soluble nutrients needed for rumen microbial growth. as the main source of protein for the growth and production of beef cattle (Jarmuji et al., 2017; Santoso et al., 2017), dairy cattle (Jarmuji et al., 2021a), and dairy goat (Soetrisno et al., 2018). Sakura block plus is a modification of commercial sakura block by using 6% earthworm flour as a substitute for rice bran and palm kernel cake as a substitute for corn. Sakura block plus contains 25.28% crude protein, 4.62% crude fiber dan 87.76 Total Digestible Nutrient. Sakura block plus as a dietary supplement is very good for increasing rumen fermentation products and digestibility (Jarmuji et al., 2021b). Efforts to enrich the nutrition of sakura block by utilizing earthworms as a protein source need to be carried out to support the development of an integrated system for oil palm cattle in Indonesia. Earthworms are decomposers of organic matter in providing nutrients (Jarmuji et al., 2016; Dani et al., 2017; Hazra et al., 2018) and contain gibelerin and auxin (Ferreras et al., 2006) required for the growth of oil palm.
The utilization of OPF as an animal feed substitute for forage is very important to be applied to support the integration system of oil palm cattle in Indonesia. This study aimed to obtain the appropriate in-vitro level of sakura block plus (6, 8, 10, 12, and 14%) in palm fronds as animal feed that will contribute to the good enhancement of rumen fermentation products and digestibility.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ethical approval
This study did not include the use of any live animals so, ethical approval is not required to be issued and submitted.
Sampling
The composition of the raw materials sakura block plus is presented in Table 1. Sakura block plus was handled as follows: the ingredients in the form of flour were mixed homogeneously, while water-soluble ingredients such as rejected brown sugar, urea, and salt were dissolved in water as much as 7% of the total ingredients, then heated over low heat until dissolved. The dry ingredients were mixed with liquid ingredients until evenly distributed and printed. Sakura blocks plus that have been printed were dried for 2-3 days. Palm fronds were obtained by harvesting oil palms, removing ⅓ of the hard-base and outer skin, then the palm fronds were chopped up to a size of 1-2 cm and air-dried until the moisture content achieved 40%. Urea was suscitated up to 3% of the total dry ingredients of the palm fronds and stirred until evenly distributed, put in a plastic bag while compacting and tied to make it airtight. After 21 days the plastic bag was opened, aired for 2 hours before being used as a feed. Cassava flour was made from rejected cassava which is peeled off the outer skin, dried in the sun, and ground into flour. Rejected cassava was categorized as a substance that did not meet the requirements for processing because its size was too small (diameter 1-3 cm). Palm oil cake was obtained from the by-product of palm kernel oil processing which was widely distributed in Indonesia.

In-vitro trial on the influence of Sakura block plus
In-vitro analysis was carried out to determine the pH, ammonia, total volatile fatty acid, acetic, propionic, and butyric of each feed component using the Tilley and Terry method (Tilley and Terry, 1969), performed for 48 h for forage and 24 h for concentrate. Incubation was stopped by immersing the Erlenmeyer flask into ice water to stop the microbial activity, after which pH measurement was carried out using a pH meter. Next, the supernatant was separated from the residue. To do this, the mixture obtained from the in-vitro analysis was put into a centrifuge tube and then centrifuged for 30 min, 3000 rpm, at 4°C. The supernatant was stored in bottles and then frozen until subsequent analysis was carried out.
The concentration of ammonia was determined using the Conway method, total volatile fatty acid concentration was determined using steam distillation. acetic, propionic and butyric concentrations were determined using gas chromatography. The residues were filtered using a Whatman No. 41 filter paper and then dried in an drying oven model DHG-9053A at 60°C. Afterward, it was analyzed for nutrient digestibility using the proximate analysis method, and fiber fraction digestibility using the Van Soest analysis method (Goering and Van Soest, 1970). The procedure for measuring gas production was carried out by modifying the pressure transducer tool. Measurement of gas production was carried out during the incubation period of in-vitro feed samples for 24 and 48 hours.
Statistical analysis
All data were subjected to analyses of variance of completely randomized design using using SPSS software version 25.0 (SPSS, 2017). IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. The results were presented as the mean values and standard error of the means. Differences between treatment means were tested by Duncan’s multiple range test method and declared significant at P<0.05 (Harsojuwono et al., 2021).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The Effect of sakura block plus on rumen fermented products
Fermentability of feed by rumen microbial is the effort of microorganisms to obtain energy, carbon and nitrogen for their reproduction (Hapsari et al., 2018). The concentration of ammonia (NH3), total Volatile fatty acid (VFA), acetic, and propionic acids as revealed in Table 3 increased significantly (P<0.05) in the treatment of OPF supplemented with sakura block plus. However, the concentration of pH and butyrate did not show a significant difference. The concentration of rumen fluid pH in this study ranged from 6.70 to 6.9, these result are similar to rumen microbial growth (Ismartoyo, 2011; Jamarun et al., 2019). Rumen pH is the major factors affecting rumen microbial produces fermented products in the form of volatile fatty acid and ammonia (Huyen et al., 2016).
The highest increase in ammonia concentration was found in the sakura block plus treatment 12% (P4) of up to 10.66 mM or an increase of 28.74% from the ammonia concentration in the commercial sakura block treatment (P0), while the ammonia concentration in sakura block plus the level 14% (P5) was lower than P4 as much as 9.66 nM. As with ammonia, the highest rumen total volatile fatty acid concentration was produced in the 12% treatment (P4). The total VFA concentration of P4 treatment was 108.28 nM or an increase of 10.87% from the commercial sakura block treatment (P0). The concentration of total VFA in the 14% (P5) treatment was lower than that of P4.
Acetate, propionate, and butyrate were the main components of VFA, while other components were recorded in very small amounts such as isobutyrate, valerate, isovalerate (Czerkawski, 1986). The concentration of acetate and propionate increased significantly in the OPF supplemented with sakura block plus compared to commercial sakura block treatment (P0).
The increase in rumen fermentation products (ammonia, total volatile fatty acid, acetate, and propionate) in OPF supplemented with sakura block plus was due to the high content of branched amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) in earthworms (Hayati et al., 2011) and it has a role in increasing the synthesis and growth of rumen microbes (Li et al., 2005; Zain et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2013). Valine, leucine, and isoleucine undergo decarboxylation and deamination to produce Branched Chain Volatile Fatty Acid (BCVFA) (Andries et al., 1987). BCVFA is used as a carbon skeleton donor in the formation of amino acids during the protein synthesis process (Russel and Sniffen, 1984). Several groups of cellulolytic bacteria such as Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminoccocus albus, R. flavefacius, and amylolytic bacteria such as Prevotella ruminicola, Butyrivibrio fibrosolvens, Selenomonas ruminantium, and Succinimonas amylolytica, Ruminococcus albus, and Enterostridium cloacae that require protein and are degraded from carbohydrates and high fiber such as palm fronds (Baldwin and Allison, 1983). Tylutki and Fox (1997) revealed that leucine deficiency in fibrous diets caused a decrease in the growth rate of rumen microbes. The results of this study are in line with the results of previous studies. The addition of worm flour as a source of branched amino acids (BCAA) above the normal limit in the diet can reduce ammonia, volatile fatty acid, and inhibit rumen microbial synthesis, this is might be attributed to that leucine and isoleucine are more difficult to synthesize rumen microbes (Atasoglu et al., 2004). Earthworm meal supplementation of 6% in commercial sakura blocks was significantly more optimal in increasing concentrations of ammonia and Volatile fatty acid compared to worm flour supplementation above 6% (Jarmuji et al., 2021b). Sihombing et al. (2010) stated that increasing the level of earthworm flour to a level of 6% in the ration did not significantly improve performance in livestock. The normal limit for the addition of valine, leucine, and isoleucine in the diet of ruminants is 2 mmol/L (Zhang et al., 2013).
The effect of sakura block plus on nutrient digestibility
Assessment of the quality of animal feed ingredients is not enough to determine the value of the food substances contained therein, but the value of these ingredients for livestock can be determined after undergoing digestion, absorption, and metabolism in the rumen and post-rumen organs (Chruch and Pond, 1988). The results displayed in Table 4 showed a significant increase (P < 0.05) in nutrient digestibility in palm frond supplemented with sakura block plus earthworms, except for the Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) component.
The increase of the level of sakura block plus to a level of 12% in palm frond (P4) produced the most optimal nutritional digestibility value compared to others. The increase of sakura block plus supplementation up to the level of 14% (P5) although produced an increase in digestibility value, it was not significantly different from P4. The high value of P4 nutrient digestibility was due to the ability of microorganisms to degrade and digest feed ingredients that enter the rumen. The digestive process in the rumen was very dependent on the population and types of microbes that develop in the rumen because the process of reforming feed is the responsibility of the rumen microbes (Arora, 1995; Puastuti, 2009). The increase in the rumen microbial population implied an increase in the production of enzymes in the rumen so that it is expected to increase feed digestibility, as well as increase the supply of microbial protein for the landlady. Rumen microbial population can be increased through the nutrient adequacy approach for its growth (Zain et al., 2008). The Sakura block plus earthworm treatment at 12% level (P4) was thought to have the right balance between the availability of protein and carbohydrates in the ration for rumen microbial synthesis compared to the commercial sakura block treatment (P0) and other treatments (P1, P2, P3, and P5). Energy and carbon atoms (C) were produced from the degradation of carbohydrates and the main amino groups were obtained from NH3 as a result of protein degradation and non-protein nitrogen (NPN) in feed ingredients (Russel et al., 1992; Ginting, 2015).
The Effect of sakura block plus on the production of gas
Observation showed (Table 5) that the cumulative gas production between treatments during the incubation period of 24 and 48 hours and was significantly different between treatments (P<0.05).
As is the case with 24-hour incubation, cumulative gas production for 48 hours on the cherry-block plus treatment also saw a noticeable increase. The highest increase was in the P4 treatment of 101.33 or an increase of 49.25% from P0. Gases production is an indicator of the process of fermentation of feed by rumen microbes, gas production can be a benchmark of the process of degradation of feed by microbes that produce substrate for fermentation. Furthermore, a high rumen microbial population can increase the fermentation process of feed substrates to produce volatile fatty acids to meet carbon needs and as the main energy source for rumen microbes, biomass, and some gases like CH4 and CO2 (Liu et al., 2002; Trotta et al., 2018).

The results of this study showed that sakura block plus as supplement feed enriched with earthworm flour has a positive impact on increasing the degradation and digestibility value of high-fiber palm oil feed. Earthworms as a source of protein and sources of branched amino acids are excellent for increasing the growth of rumen microbes which have a major role in degrading fibrous feed to produce volatile fatty acids, biomass, and gases (Li et al., 2005; Zain et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2013). Wang et al. (2008) stated that feed derived from agricultural and plantation waste such as palm oil palms generally contains very low-branched amino acids so that it can reduce the growth rate of rumen microbes.
CONCLUSIONS and recommendations
Supplementation of sakura block plus 12% in palm frond significantly increased rumen fermentation products (ammonia, total volatile fatty acid, acetate, and propionate), and nutrient digestibility (dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber).
