ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan duckweed basah pada level 20% dan tepung duckweed pada level 20% dalam ransum terhadap performans itik alabio jantan. Penelitian ini menggunakan 108 ekor itik alabio jantan berumur 1 minggu dipelihara hingga umur 10 minggu dan ditempatkan pada 18 kandang tiap kandang berukuran 2m x 1m.  Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan tiga perlakuan dan enam ulangan, sehingga terdapat 18 satuan perobaan. Peubah yang diamati yaitu konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi ransum, dan bobot badan akhir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan duckweed basah 20% dan tepung duckweed 20% tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi ransum, dan bobot badan akhir. Peningkatan berhasil menurun pada konversi ransum untuk perlakuan duckweed basah 20%.

Kata Kunci: Duckweed Basah, Tepung Duckweed, Konsumsi Ransum, Pertambahan Bobot Badan, Konversi Ransum, dan Bobot Badan Akhir.

ABSTRACT

This research was conducted to determine the optimal incubation temperature using the combination of cellulase and manannase enzymes to obtain the best palm kernel meal nutrients content. This research applied a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replications, thus there were 24 experimental units. The variables observed were dry matter, organic matter, crude fat, crude protein, and crude fiber. The results showed that the incubation temperature had a significant effect on dry matter content but had no significant effect on the contents of organic matter, crude fat, crude protein, and crude fiber. Increasing the incubation temperature tends to increase the levels of organic matter and crude protein but decrease the levels of crude fiber. The optimum incubation temperature to obtain the best palm kernel meal nutrients composition is an incubation at 45 o C.
