DAMPAK PENGGUNAAN BELUNTAS DALAM UPAYA MENURUNKAN KADAR LEMAK DAGING TERHADAP PRODUKSI DAN KADAR LEMAK TELUR ITIK LOKAL
ABSTRACT: The beluntas
(Piuchea indica L) leaf powder is one of the herbs species which contains
antioxidants (flavonoid, vitamin C and beta-carotene), phytochemical and
antinutrients. This study was designed to know the ability of the beluntas on
the sensory of meat and duck egg without gave the negative effect on duck
performances. The results showed that off-flavor's skinned meat duck were not
affected, while off-flavor's duck and salted duck eggs are significantly
reduced by 0.5% and 1% of beluntas leaf meal in the feed ration. Fatty acids of
yolk eggs and duck meat were higher by giving beluntas leaf meal on the ration
than without giving one. This showed that antioxidant on beluntas leaf meal
could prevent lipid oxidation. TBA value of duck meat was the lowest by giving
0.5% of beluntas on the ration. The productivity such as egg production and
feed conversion were the best by giving 1 °/o of beluntas leaf meal on the
ration. Egg weight, quality of eggs; fat and cholesterol of yolk were not
affected. A higher nutrient digestibilities (protein, energy, Ca and P) was
obtained in duck eating 1.0% beluntas leaves (Psmall intestines. The numbers of
ducks experiencing liver damage were the lowest in ducks consuming 1.0%
beluntas leaves than those eating 0.5% beluntas
