FREKUENSI PEMBERIAN PAKAN BUATAN BERBASIS LIMBAH UNTUK PRODUKSI KEPITING BAKAU CANGKANG LUNAK
ABSTRACT: Feed eficiency is
largely determined by its availability in suficient quantities and on
timefeeding, s o it is necessary to study the frequency of feeding for the best
production of soft shell crab. Four feeding frequency (1 time per day, 1 time
per 2 days, 1 time per 3 days, and 1 time per 4 days) tested in this study.
Feed with nutrient composition of 30.86% protein, 7.2% fat, nitrogen free
extract (NFE) 48.89%, crude fiber 5.7% enriched with vitomolt 0.1041 5 mg/g of
feed to the standard dose and 0.4166 mg vitomolt/g feed to high doses; or equal
to 700 ng vitomolt/g crab. Test crabsof Scylla sp. reared in crabs box and
placed in the pond. The results showed the frequency of feeding 1 time per 2
days resulted in the highest percentage of molting (66.67%) and the lowest percentage
of moulting was found at 1 per 4 times a day of feeding (36.67%). Growth
parameters such as weight and carapace width, and feed eficiency did not difer
among all treatments. Thus, feeding in the soft shell crab for the maximum
production can be done with a frequency of 1 time per 2 days .
