Course Content

Module 1: Introduction to Banana Stem Feed
Banana stems are a plentiful farm byproduct in tropical regions. They are mostly water (only ~4–10% dry matter), with low protein (fresh stems ~2–8% crude protein) and very high fiber (up to 13–32%). In raw form they cannot meet animal needs, but after processing they become a valuable feed ingredient. This course shows how to turn chopped banana stems (instead of maize or cassava) into complete pig and chicken feed by using fermentation and insect (maggot) protein. We also explain animal nutritional needs (protein, fat, vitamins/minerals) and how to balance them with simple additives (salt, eggshell, ash).
