ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respons pemberian tepung daun indigofera terhadap bobot potong, persentase karkas, dan lemak abdominal itik Alabio jantan. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan lima perlakuan dan lima ulangan, setiap ulangan terdiri atas empat ekor itik Alabio jantan, sehingga jumlah itik yang digunakan sebanyak 100 ekor. perlakuan pada penelitian ini adalah tingkat penggunaan tepung daun indigofera dalam ransum, yaitu 0%, 5% 10%, 15%, dan 20%. Peubah yang diamati yaitu bobot potong, persentase karkas, lemak abdominal, dan bobot giblet. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan respons pemberian tepung daun indigofera sampai level 20% dalam ransum berpengaruh nyata meningkatkan bobot potong itik Alabio jantan, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata meningkatkan persentase karkas, lemak abdominal, dan bobot giblet.

Kata kunci: Tepung daun indigofera, Itik Alabio jantan, Persentase karkas, Lemak Abdominal

ABSTRACT

This study aims to determine the response of indigofera leaf flour to cut weight, carcass percentage, and abdominal fat of male Alabio ducks. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and five replications, each replication consisting of four male Alabio ducks, so the number of ducks used was 100 ducks. The treatment in this study was the level of use of indigofera leaf flour in the ration, namely 0%, 5% 10%, 15%, and 20%. The variables observed were cut weight, carcass percentage, abdominal fat, and giblet weight. The results showed that the response of giving indigofera leaf flour to a level of 20% in the ration had a significant effect on increasing the slaughter weight of male Alabio ducks, but did not significantly increase the percentage of carcass, abdominal fat, and giblet weight. 

Key words: Indigofera leaf flour, male Alabio ducks, Carcass percentage, AbdominalFat
