This research was conducted at Alvino Farm, Jalan. Tunas Mekar no 263, Tuntungan II, Medan Tuntungan District, Medan City. In September - December 2022. The design used was a completely randomized design (RAL) with 4 treatments and 5 replications so that 20 experimental units were obtained. The sheep used were 20 male local sheep with an initial weight of 19.65 ± 1 kg. The treatments given were P0 (80% field grass + 20% concentrate without fermented banana stems), P1 (70% field grass + 20% concentrate + 10% fermented banana stems), P2 (60% field grass + 20% concentrate + 20 % fermented banana stems), and P3 (50% field grass + 20% concentrate + 30% fermented banana stems).
