PEMANFAATAN JAHE (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE ROSC) UNTUK MEMACU PERTUMBUHAN IKAN NILA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS)
ABSTRACT: A research had been
conducted to study the effect ginger
supplemented in feed on growth of nile tilapia.
Juveniles as much as 250 individuals
(mean weight 27.31 g) were obtained from Fish Culture and Development
Board (BP3I) Tateli. The fish were placed
in plastic bags and transported to Faculty of Fisheries and Marine
Science. Fish were then introduced in 15
aquaria at a density of 15 individuals per aquarium. Each aquarium was equipped
with an aerator and used water recirculation system. After adaption for one
weeks, fish was fed pellet supplemented with
ginger powder as treatments at five different doses including A=0,
B=2,5, C=5, D=7,5, and E=10 g/kg, each
with three replications. Fish was
fed treatment diets for four weeks at
3%/bw/day, twice daily at 08.00 am and 17.00 pm. Growth data including absolute and relative
growth were weighted at the end of feeding period. Research results showed that
after four weeks of feeding, supplementation of ginger powder into fish
pellet significantly improved fish
growth . The growth of fish fed pellet
supplemented with 7.5 g/kg of food was
and significantly different as compared to that of control fish. It was concluded that supplementation of
ginger powder into fish pellet potentially improved fish growth.
