The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dry solid sludge residue on the quality of kate elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) in the second cutting. The design used was RAL (Completely Randomized Design) which consisted of 5 treatments and 5 replications, namely residual effect without dry solid Sludge on P1 (control), residual effect P2 (180 g dry solid Sludge), residual effect P3 (360 g dry solid Sludge), residual effect P4 (450 g Dry Solid Sludge), and residual effect P5 (720 g Dry Solid Sludge). Analysis of variance showed that the residual effect of dry solid sludge had a very significant effect (P˂0.01) on the increase in the content of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and the decrease in crude fiber of elephant grass kate in the second cutting. The results of this study can be concluded that the residual effect of dry solid sludge can increase the content of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and decrease crude fiber of elephant grass kate in the second cutting. There is an increase in dry matter content ranging from 0.46% - 1.74%, organic matter 0.63% - 4.21%, crude protein 1.11% - 20, 55% and a decrease in crude fiber 8.11% - 0 ,94% kate elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott).
