PEMBERIAN WORTEL SEBAGAI PAKAN TAMBAHAN TERHADAP PENAMPILAN ITIK PEDAGING

ABSTRAK Penelitian bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pemberian wortel kukus sebagai pakan tambahan terhadap penampilan itik pedaging. Materi penelitian itik pedaging pejantan “Hybrid” umur 14 hari dengan berat badan awal rata-rata + 308,9 g/ekor sebanyak  60 ekor, dibagi dalam 4 perlakuan,  tiga ulangan, masing-masing ulangan 5 ekor itik.  Pakan basal  untuk fase starter terdiri dari: konsentrat BR1 (63%), bekatul (28%), polar (9%) dan fase fnisher terdiri dari konsentrat BR1 (50%), bekatul (30%), polar (20%). Perlakuan yang diberikan yaitu T1: Pakan basal tanpa imbuhan wortel; T2: Pakan basal + wortel kukus (10% jumlah pakan yang diberikan). T3 : Pakan basal + wortel kukus (20% jumlah pakan yang diberikan). T4: Pakan basal + wortel kukus (30% jumlah pakan yang diberikan). Variabel yang diamati adalah kinerja itik pedaging (konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi pakan). Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), Analisa data dengan menggunakan Analysiss of variance dilanjutkan Uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan wortel kukus dalam pakan dari level 10 sampai 30% tidak berbeda nyata terhadap penampilan itik pedaging (P>0,05). Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa penambahan wortel kukus sebagai pakan tambahan pada itik pedaging tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap penampilan itik pedaging.

The research material was "Hybrid" male meat ducks aged 14 days with an average initial body weight of + 308.9 g/head as many as 60 tails, divided into 4 treatments, three replications, each replicated 5 ducks. The basal feed for the starter phase consisted of: BR1 concentrate (63%), bran (28%), polar (9%) and the finisher phase consisted of BR1 concentrate (50%), rice bran (30%), polar (20%). The treatments given were T1: Basal feed without added carrots; T2: Basalt feed + steamed carrots (10% of feed amount). T3 : Basalt feed + steamed carrots (20% of the amount of feed given). T4: Basalt feed + steamed carrots (30% of the amount of feed given). The variable observed was the performance of broiler ducks (feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion). The study used a completely randomized design (CRD), data analysis using the Analysis of variance followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that the addition of steamed carrots in the feed from level 10 to 30% was not significantly different to the appearance of broiler ducks (P>0.05). The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the addition of steamed carrots as additional feed for broiler ducks does not have a significant effect on the appearance of broiler ducks.   Keywords: broiler ducks, feed consumption, feed conversion, weight gain, carrot
