Hubungan Ukuran-Ukuran Usus Halus Dengan Berat Badan Broiler
ABSTRACT: The main objective
of the present study was to investigate the association of small intestine
measurements with body weight in broilers. Sixty five weeks old unsex broiler chicks
(CP 707) were used. All birds were leg-banded and alloted to 60 cage units and
than were fasted for 10 hours but water given. All birds were weighed
individually and then sacrificed by neck vein bleeding. Small intestine was
dissected individually to determine length and wide. All data were subjected to
statistical analysis: correlation and simple linear regression, analysis of
variance and t-test. The length of small intestine, duodenum, and jejunum/ileum
were each strongly correlated with body weight: r = 0,88; P < 0,01; r =
0,71; P < 0,01; and r = 0,80, P < 0,01 respectively. The wide of duodenum
and jejunum/ileum were each closely correlated with body weight: r = 0,90; P
< 0,01; and r = 0,86; P < 0,01 respectively. Results of study indicated
that there were strong association between small intestine measurements and
body weight in broilers.
