ADMINISTRASI ORAL IMUNOSTIMULAN RAGI ROTI (SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PERTUMBUHAN IKAN MAS (CYPRINUS CARPIO L.)
ABSTRACT: The research aimed
to evaluate the effect of baker’s yeast as immunostimulant on the growth of
carp. Fish was obtained from Board of
Freshwater Aquaculture at Tatelu, North Sulawesi Province. Before running the experiment, the fish was
acclimatized for one week in five concrete tanks measuring 2x1x1 m3 each.
During acclimatization, fish was fed commercial pellet at 5%/body weight/day,
twice a day. After acclimatizationm, the
fish was distributed in 15 aquaria with a density of 25 individuals per
aquarium. The research used Complete
Randomized Design with five treatments namely 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 g yeast/kg
of pellet, each with three replications.
Fish was fed with treatment pellets for three weeks consecutively at a
dose of 5%/body weight/day, twice a day at 08.00 am and 16.00 pm. Growth of
fish was measured at the end of feeding period.
The result showed that the addition of baker’s yeast cells into fish
feed significantly influenced fish growth. The best growth was achieved in fish
fed pellet supplemented with 5 g yeast/kg of pellet.
