Preservation technique is made silage (to maintain the quality of forage), while to improve the forage quality is done by fermentation and amoniation. The activities were carried out with the design of preserved livestock feeding equipment, training on the use and care of targeted farmer groups (Karya Makmur and Jati Diri 6), group management assistance, the handover of the preserved animal feed technology package, and formed a pilot group.
