This series of activities aimed to enable farmers and prospective farmers in the Pitak to utilize market organic waste, as a solution to the difficulty of obtaining feed. Fermented feed was known to have the following advantages, namely feed has a longer shelf life, nutrients in fermented feed can be more optimally absorbed by the digestive tract, and the energy and time used in preparing feed were more efficient. Based on the evaluation results obtained from the implementation of this community service, there was an increase in the understanding of farmers and prospective farmers by 50% relating to feed ingredients, materials that can be used as feed, and the use of market waste as feed.
