BUDIDAYA CACING TANAH SEBAGAI SUMBER PAKAN ALTERNATIF DALAM PEMELIHARAAN LELE DUMBO DI PONDOK PESANTREN HIDAYATULLAH, SEMARANG (The Farming of arthworms as an Alternative Feeding of Maintenance Catfish in Hidayatullah Boarding School, Gedawang, Semarang)
Pemenuhan kebutuhan pakan masih menjadi kendala dalam budidaya lele dumbo di pondok pesantren Hidayatullah Gedawang Semarang. Biaya untuk kebutuhan membeli pakan/pelet tergolong besar. Pemberian pakan cacing tanah (Lumbricus rubellus) sebagai pakan alternatif selain pellet dapat diterapkan untuk mengatasi permasalahan ketersediaan pakan di ponpes tersebut. Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut maka teknologi yang tepat adalah teknologi budidaya pakan alami sebagai pengganti/substitusi pakan buatan. Tujuan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini adalah untuk mengenalkan dan menerapkan teknologi budidaya cacing tanah (L. rubellus) sebagai pakan alternatif dalam budidaya lele dumbo pada kolam terpal di ponpes Hidayatullah, Desa Gedawang, Banyumanik, Semarang. Hasil pengamatan tentang jumlah kematian benih lele selama kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini didapatkan Tingkat Kelulushidupan (Survival Rate/SR) lele dumbo yang dipelihara dengan penerapan pemberian pakan berupa pellet dan cacing tanah, SR nya lebih tinggi (89.83%) dibanding lele yang hanya diberi pakan pellet saja (71.16%). Hasil pertumbuhan lele dumbo yang diberi pakan pellet dan cacing tanah juga menunjukkan lebih tinggi (72 kg) daripada pertumbuhan lele dumbo yang hanya diberi pellet saja (65 kg).
