Performa Itik Lokal (Anas platyrhynchos Javanica) yang diberi Tepung Daun Beluntas atau Kenikir sebagai Sumber Pakan Aditif
ABSTRACT: Indonesia local duck
has the potential to produce meat, but its growth is still slow. Therefore it
needs the effort to improve the performance. One of the effort is using feed
additive in the diet. Feed additive aimed to be appetizer and improve
performance. Materials that can be used as feed additive are beluntas and kenikir
because of their active compounds that can increase the appetite. This study
aimedto examine the performances of local duck fed beluntas or kenikir as feed
additive. The experimental design used was randomized design with 7 treatments
and 5 replications. The treatment was the addition of beluntasor kenikir leaf
meal in the diet during 1, 2or 3 weeks before being slaughtered. Variables
observed were feed consumption, fenolik and tanin consumption, body weight,
weight gain, percentage of carcass, chest, thigh, and abdominal fat. The results
showed that the effects of beluntas or kenikir were not signifcant on performance
(feed consumption, fenolik consumption, tanin consumption, body weight, and
feed conversion) as well on carcass quality (carcass, abdominal fat, meat-bones
of chest and thigh). Feeding beluntas or kenikir leaf meal 1% for 1, 2 or 3
week as feed additive did not improve the performances of local duck.
