ABSTRAK

Penelitianinibertujuanuntuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian air buah mengkudu dalam air minum terhadap performa broiler. Penelitian dilakukan selama satu periode panen yaitu pada bulan Juli sampai Agustus mengunakan 100 ekor broiler yang terdiri dari 80 ekor broiler yang diberi perlakuan dan 20 ekor broiler tanpa diberi perlakuan (kontrol). Penelitianinimenggunakanrancangan acak lengkap dengan 5 perlakuan an 4 ulangan. Perlakuan berupa pemberian air buah mengkudu pada air minum broiler dengan level yang berbeda (masing-masing 0 ml/l , 7,5 ml/l, 15 ml/l, 22,5 ml/l dan 30 ml/l).  Parameter yang diamati yaitu konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, bobot akhir, konversi pakan dan persentase mortalitas. Penimbangan bobot badan dan sisa pakan dilakukan setiap minggu sekali selama masa pemeliharaan, sedangkan penimbangan bobot badan akhir dilakukan saat panen broiler. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ahwa pemberian herbal buah mengkudu pada level 7,5 ml/l air minum mampu meningkatkan konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, bobot badan akhir, menurunkan konversi pakan dan mempertahankan mortalitas.

ABSTRACT

This research aims to determine the effect of providing noni fruit water in drinking water on broiler performance. The research was carried out during one harvest period, namely from July to August, using 100 broilers consisting of 80 broilers treated and 20 broilers without treatment (control). This research used a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment consisted of giving noni fruit water to the broiler drinking water at different levels (0 ml/l, 7.5 ml/l, 15 ml/l, 22.5 ml/l and 30 ml/l respectively).  The parameters observed were feed consumption, body weight gain, final weight, feed conversion and mortality percentage. Body weight and remaining feed are weighed once a week during the rearing period, while final body weight is measured at broiler harvest. The results of the study showed that administering noni herbal fruit at a level of 7.5 ml/l of drinking water was able to increase feed consumption, body weight gain, final body weight, reduce feed conversion and maintain mortality.Key Words : Citrifolia morinda, performance, broiler, , herbal, mengkudu.
