Abstract: The paper discussed the potential on utilization of snail pest as animal feed by community in Tanjung Rejo

village. The aim of this study is to produce fodder that can be stored for a long time with good quality for

ranchers. The method used is a combination method of counseling, training, direct practice and job evaluation.

The procedure is divided into four stages. First: manufacture of cooked snail flour, in which the snails are

salted and boiled and then gouged out the meat to separate it from the shell. Second: manufacture of raw snail

flour, where the snail meat is separated from the shell and cut into small pieces, dried, then ground finely.

Third: manufacture of snail shell flour by drying, crushing, grinding and sieving. Fourth: Preparation of

poultry feed, by mixing snail flour with a ratio 1:4 of snail flour and fine bran; for snail shell flour the

comparison of snail shell flour and fine bran is 1: 3. The outcome is ready to be used as animal feed. All feeds

produced can be used for the community need or can be sold, especially by the farmers and ranchers of

Tanjung Rejo village. Snail-crushing machine has been given by USU community service team to Farmers

and Ranchers Group.

1 INTRODUCTION

Deli Serdang Regency is one of regencies in

Sumatera Utara characterized with potential fishery

and marine resources. The coastal area is around

63,002 Ha consists of 4 Sub-districts, namely:

Labuhan Deli, Hamparan Perak, Percut Sei Tuan and

Pantai Labu. Percut Sei Tuan is one of many potential

subdistricts that need to be developed through the

management of coastal areas, especially Tanjung

Rejo village.

Tanjung Rejo, located in Deli Serdang Regency is

a development coastal area of East Coast of North

Sumatera where the most people work as fishermen.

Recently, there has been a decline in activity of

fishing due to limited resources that affected the

fishermen to switch professions into farmers or

ranchers.

Agricultural farmers in Tanjung Rejo usually

grow rice paddy field. Paddy production is disrupted

due to the large number of snail pests in their fields.

One alternative to reduce the snail pest is by utilize it

into animal feed. Conversion of snail pest into animal

feed will benefit most ranchers in Tanjung Rejo as

they tend to breed chickens, ducks and cattle.

Additionally, practical procedure of snail pest

utilization has never been taught before in this village.

Farming and livestock products can only meet the

daily needs if there is sufficient resources of animal

feed. Since the production process for both farming

and raising livestock requires large cost, farmers and

ranchers are faced into two challenges between

borrowing loan money to provide the animal feed or

utilizing abundant resources available as animal feed.

The benefit of this activity is to help the people of

Tanjung Rejo village in utilizing animal feed and

introduce the culture of snail pest utilization in daily

life to reduce dependence on commercial feed which

is relatively expensive for ranchers, while for farmers

to reduce pests that disturb their rice. The feed can be

used directly or even sold to improve economic

income of community in Tanjung Rejo.

2 MATERIALS AND METHODS

technique of snail pest utilization to groups of farmer

and rancher in Tanjung Rejo Village. The community

gained the knowledge submitted by the community

service team.

The practical theory and technique was

implemented in the form of training to Farmers and

Ranchers Group in Tanjung Rejo Village.

Community groups are trained by professional

implementors or trainers. All activities are conducted

and managed step by step to get effective result. In

addition, organic fertilizer and tools namely snail-

crushing machine are provided for the training and

future usage.

Monitoring and evaluation upon success of snail

pests utilization are achieved by witnessing in the

field directly whether the community are able to

perform the procedure effectively. In addition, the

community activity are also monitored via phone to

to overcome several problems that arise during

practical implementation.

In general, our activities were considered as

success since there is a good cooperation between

universities, especially the trainers, government

officials and farmers/ranchers community in Tanjung

Rejo Village. The people of Tanjung Rejo Village

realize the importance of preserving the environment

while improving their livelihoods by producing their

own animal feeds. Standard diagrammatic procedure

of utilizing snail pest as animal feed is produced from

this study.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Deli Serdang Regency has 65 km long beach area.

Along the beach, the potential of coastal areas is

within 15 villages and 711,663 inhabitants. Coastal

villages are located in 4 Sub-districts are shown in

The success of community service activities cannot

be separated from the participation and support of

village officials such as Tanjung Rejo Village Chief

and staff, farmers and ranchers groups that participate

in this activity.

Description of Snail Pests Utilization as Animal Feed

Counseling

The Practical Theory and Preparation Technique of Animal Feed in the form of Training

Preparation of Tools and Materials

Cooked Snail Flour

(Snails were inserted into 20-litre bucket and salted around 10-15% from the total weight of snail; stirred well

and boiled into 3% salt water for 10 minutes, the snails were gouged out the meat from the shell, boiled back in

3% salt water to reduce snail meat mucus. The second boiling is performed as well in 3% salt water)

Raw Snail Flour

(Snails were washed and meats were removed from the shell; Meats were cut into small pieces and dried for

4–5 days under sunlight or 12 hours in oven at 60°C, until finely ground)

Snail Shell Flour

(Dry and clean snail shells were crushed or milled and then sieved)

Animal feed

(Prepared fine rice bran using a grinder were mixed with snail flour in a ratio of 1: 4, while for snail shell flour

the ratio with bran is 1: 3. Animal feed is ready to be applied / used by Tanjung rejo village rancher).

Figure 1. Flowchart of snail pest utilization in Tanjung Rejo

Implementation of activities were carried out by

way of counseling and lecturing, explanation of the

theory and techniques of snail pest, followed by

community groups in the village of Tanjung Rejo

Deli Serdang District. Villagers listened to the

material presented by the community service team.

The material presented about the benefits of snail

pests as animal feed. It is expected that community

groups can reduce the cost of household production

because they can produce their own animal feed

according to their needs. So community groups can

save the environment and improve their standard of

living.

The training was done by community groups

in Tanjung Rejo village and trained by a community

service team. All activities were conducted

proactively to obtain results in the form of organic

fertilizer and animal feed from rice brans. Results are

seen directly for the utilization of snail pests within a

few days. Equipment such as snail shredder / grinder

has also been given so that farmer and rancher groups

can make their own.

Utilization of snail pests are very supportive

because snail pest is very abundant especially during

growing or planting season in Tanjung Rejo village,

so people will have access for animal feed material.

In addition, the village environment can be saved

ICOSTEERR 2018 - International Conference of Science, Technology, Engineering, Environmental and Ramiﬁcation Researches

from the paddy pests while improving living

standards because it can make their own animal feed.

The making of animal feed does not require a long

time to become the product, because the process is

only conducted for a few hours although preparation

is made conventionally within 5 days. So community

groups should have technical use and utilization.

4 CONCLUSIONS

The utilization of snail pest can be converted to be

animal feed, wich can enhance economical and

ecological value, and to maintain a good relationship

between USU and its community in Tanjung Rejo

village of Deli Serdang Regency.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would like to express our gratitude to Universitas

Sumatera Utara for the financial support given in

scheme of BPPTN 2018. We hope that this program

will sustain in the environmental management efforts

with the utilization of snail pest.
