Abstract

The buffalo population until 2018 was recorded at 1,356,390 heads throughout Indonesia. If buffalo feces are not appropriately managed, it will cause problems in the form of environmental pollution. Buffalo feces has the potential because it contains microorganisms that can be used to produce biogas. Starter from buffalo feces can also add to organic media from plantation waste. The process of oil extraction, washing, and cleaning at the factory produces palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME contains low carbon, so for biogas formation in an anaerobic digester, it is necessary to add a carbon source. The carbon source can obtain from palm-pressed fiber (PPF), also a solid waste of the palm oil industry. Adding a starter from buffalo feces in a mixture of POME and PPF media is expected to reduce waste that has yet to be utilized optimally by buffalo farms and the oil palm industry. This study was conducted to determine the effect of adding the best starter from buffalo feces to a mixture of POME and PPF media on the number of anaerobic bacteria and biogas volume. The study used a completely randomized experimental design (CRD) with five treatments, namely P1 (without the addition of starter), P2 (+ 2% starter), P3 (+ 4% starter), P4 (+ 6% starter), and P5 (+ 8% starter) for 28 days with observations on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28. Each treatment was repeated four times. The observed variables were the number of anaerobic bacteria and the volume of biogas.
