Abstract
This study aims to determine the amount of Indigofera zollingerianaand banana hump that fermented byTrichoderma harzianumas a substitute for soybean meal and rice bran in ration on the physical qualities of pellets. The research method was experimental using a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern consisting of two factors and each five treatment andtwo replications. Experimental data were analyzed by analysis variance, then to find out the differences between treatments were analyzed by Duncans Multiple Range Test. The results showed that there was an interaction between the use of Indigofera zolingeriana and banana hump durability and density of pellet. The highest pellet durability was obtained by using 26% Indigofera zollingeriana and 1.25% banana hump, while the highest pellet density was obtained using 0% Indigofera zollingeriana and 1.25% banana hump.
