Performan Ayam Broiler yang diberi Ransum Mengandung Potassium Diformate Sebagai Pengganti Flavomycin
ABSTRACT: The aim of this
research was to study the effect of potassium-diformate (PD) on broiler
performance. One hundred and twenty old chicks of Cobb strain were divided into
fifteen groups and feed one of five treatments, namely: P1 (control diet), P2
(P1 + 0,5%PD), P3(P1 + 1%PD), P4 (P1 + 1,5%PD) and P5 (P1 + antibiotic). Data from
Completely Randomized Design were analyzed by ANOVA and any significant among
them were used contrast orthogonal test. Treatments did not impact on feed
consumption, mortality and percentage of viscera, but the groups treated with 1
and 1.5% PD and flavomicyne antibiotic had significant improvement on body
weight gain (P<0.169) and feed efficiency (P<0.05). It is concluded that
addition of 1-1.5% potassium-diformate in the broiler’s diet could improve feed
efficiency and replace flavomycine antibiotic as growth promotors without
influencing the performance of viscera.
