EFEK POSISI PENEMPATAN BOX DAN JARAK PENGANGKUTAN TERHADAP PENYUSUTAN BOBOT BADAN DAN PERSENTASE PENYUSUTAN BOBOT BADAN PADA AYAM PEDAGING FINISHER
ABSTRACT: The research
objective was to study the effect of box position and transportation
distance on body weight loss and the
percentage of body weight loss on broiler finisher. The materials were 150 male
chickens and 150 female chickens of broiler finisher. The research applied
experimentally method was arranged in Randomyzed Block Design, with
transportation distance as replication group and box position as treatment.
Variable observed were body weight loss and percentage body weight
loss. The datas analysis by ANOVA. If
there were a different between treatments, were be continued by Least
Significant Difference Test. The results of experiment indicated that the
higher the placement position of the front box gave body weight loss and
percentage of body weight loss on both male and female broiler chickens was
higher. The farther distance of transportation both in male and female broiler
chickens gave body weight loss and percentage of body weight loss higher. The
suggestion was in the transportation broiler placement should placed in the
position of front and back of the box, should not be too high to avoid greater
body weight loss. In the long-distance transport needs to be given a transit
point (rest) as well as feeding and drinking to minimal effect on body weight loss.
