EFEK PEMBERIAN PREBIOTIK DALAM PAKAN KOMERSIAL TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN IKAN PATIN (Pangasius sp.)
ABSTRACT: A prebiotic is a
non-digestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively
stimulating the growth or the activity of one or a limited number of bacteria
in the colon. This research aimed to determine the effect of commercial feed
containing prebiotics on the growth of catfish (Pangasius sp.). The experiment
were done with four treatments and three replicates, namely control A (0%
prebiotic), B (1% prebiotic), C (2% prebiotic), D (3% prebiotic). The treatment
with the addition of 1% prebiotic can improve number of bacteria populations,
protein retention, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rates, feed
efficiency and survival rate higher than the other treatments with the value of
each 9.25 ± 0.09b%, 15.65 ± 3.83b%, 112.68 ± 25.22b%, 1.52 ± 0.16c%, 31.55 ±
5.1b% and 93.33 ± 6.67%.. Therefore, the addition of 1% prebiotic can promote
the growth performance of catfish.
