The objectives of this study were to evaluate feed nutrition quality (pH, water content, dry ingredients, crude protein and crude fiber) of oil pam fronds as feed of Swamp Buffalo (Buffelus asiaticus). The experimental design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with factorial esperiment (3 x 3). First factor consisted of ammonia processing method (P1), Silage (P2), and fermentation (P3). Second factor was curing time consisted of 18 days (W1), 21 days (W2), and 24 days (W3). Each treatment combination was replicated three replications, so that there were 27 experimental units. The result were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued by Duncan Multiple Range test. The result showed that there was no interaction between processing methods and curing time on the nutritional quality of the oil palm fronds. The result processing methods and curing time of oil palm fronds as feed nutrition of Swamp Buffalo (Buffelus asiaticus) at this study significantly affected (P<0.01) on pH, moisture content, dry matter content and significantly affected (P<0.05) on crude protein and crude fiber content. Processing method with fermentation of oil palm fronds gave the best results in decreasing pH, increasing the content of crude protein and crude fiber and also 24 days curing time gave the best results in decreasing moisture content and increasing dry matter content which showed the high growth of decomposing microorganisms in the processing of oil palm fronds indicating the increase the feed nutrition quality of oil palm fronds as feed of Swamp Buffalo (Buffelus asiaticus).
