Penggunaan Prebiotik Oligosakarida Ekstrak Tepung Buah Rumbia (Metroxylon sago Rottb.) dalam Ransum terhadap Performan Ayam Pedaging
ABSTRACT: Prebiotic
oligosaccharides are thought to provide beneficial effects in the
gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals by stimulating growth of selected
members of the intestinal microflora. Prebiotic oligosaccharides are defined as
nondigestible food ingredients that provide beneficial effects to the host by
stimulating the growth of selected microbial members of the gastrointestinal
tract. Among the colonic bacteria capable of metabolizing prebiotic
oligosaccharides and whose growth is stimulated are species of Lactobacillus
and Bifidobacterium. Prebiotic oligosaccharides can be produced in
transgli-cosylation reactions catalyzed by glycosidases. Glycosidases from different
biological sources have specific ability to catalyze the formation of
oligosaccharides with particular chain lengths (usually DP < 7) and
predominant glycosidic linkages. Oligosaccharide used this research was
purified rumbia fruit extract as prebiotic for feed additive in the ration on
broiler. The objectives of this research were to study the performance of
broiler given of prebiotic oligosaccharide extract rumbia fruit (metroxylon
sago Rottb.) in the ration. Two hundred day-old chicks of broiler were divided
into three dietary treatments and four replications. Ration used was consisted
of: R1 = basal ration (control), R2 = basal ration + 0,4% oligosaccharide
extract rumbia fruit, and R3 = basal ration + 0,4% frukto-oligosaccharide
(FOS). The variables observed were: feed consumption, body weight, feed
conversion ratio, mortality, and production index. The result showed that the
performances of the broiler supplemented prebiotic oligosaccharide extract
rumbia fruit (R2) was significantly (P < 0.05) differences between of feed
consumption, body weight, and mortality. It is concluded that of prebiotic
oligosaccharide extract rumbia fruit were able to decrease the mortality and
feed consumption at six week of age.
