Efisiensi penggunaan protein pada puyuh periode produksi yang diberi ransum mengandung tepung daun kayambang
Abstract: The aim of the
experiment was to determine the utilization of kayambang (salvinia molesta)
leaves meal on protein consumption, protein efficiency ratio, nitrogen
retention, and digestibility protein. Experiment used 200 japanese female
quails aged 9 weeks with average body weight 114.86 ± 2.69 g (CV 2.34%). The
experiment was conducted in battery cages. The study used a completely
randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatment diets
were T0 (control), T1 (2.5% Salvinia molesta leaves meal), T2 (5% Salvinia
molesta leaves meal) and T3 (7.5% Salvinia molesta leaves meal). The dose of a
liquid additive was 5 ml/quail. Observation of crude protein digestibility and
the energy was carried for 3 days and protein measurements were analysed using
Kjeldahl method. The results showed that administration of salvinia molesta
leaf meal up to 7.5% level in the diet decreased the quality of the ration so
that the protein utilization was also decreased as indicated by the decline of
protein consumption, protein efficiency ratio, nitrogen retention, and
digestibility protein.
