Pengaruh Taraf Penyemprotan Air dan Lama Penyimpanan Terhadap Daya Tahan Ransum Broiler Finisher Berbentuk Pellet
ABSTRACT: The storage is very
important in a farm management, because this activity can take care of feed
stability which enough and preferable to be consumed by animal and also strive
for animal food availability continuously. The purpose of this research is to
know the water spraying level and variation of storage period against the
endurance of pellet broiler finisher ration. This research was designed by a
Completely Randomized Design Factorial with two factors (water spraying
different level and storage period) with four replicates, the significant result
were analyzed by orthogonal contras test. On this experiment, the different
level of water spraying (0, 3, 6%) were conducted during mixing at conditioning
process, and then the ration were stored until four weeks to study the
endurance of pellet e.g.: water content (%), water activity, specific gravity
(ton/m3), pellet durability index (%), attack of insect. The water content,
specific gravity, and pellet durability index was very significantly
(P<0.01) reduce by water spraying different level, and not significantly on
water activity. The storage period showed very significantly (P<0.01)
increase the specific gravity, pellet durability index, and the insect attacks,
and significantly (P<0.01) decreased the water activity, but not effect on
water content. Interaction among spraying level and storage period is very
significantly (P<0.01) on the values of water content, water activity,
specific gravity and pellet durability.
