Evaluasi Suplementasi Tepung Daun Kayu Manis pada Pakan terhadap Kinerja Pertumbuhan Ikan Lele

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh suplementasi tepung daun kayu manis pada pakan terhadap kinerja pertumbuhan ikan lele (Clarias gariepinus). Penelitian menggunakan empat perlakuan yaitu penambahan tepung daun kayu manis sebanyak 0%, 0,5%, 1,0%, dan 1,5% pada pakan komersial. Ikan lele dipelihara dalam waring 1x1x1 m3 yang diletakkan di dalam kolam beton dengan padat tebar 20 ekor/waring selama 30 hari. Ikan lele diberi pakan secara at satiation. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung daun kayu manis pada pakan tidak memengaruhi rasio konversi pakan, namun penambahan daun kayu manis 1,5% pada pakan dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan ikan lele dan menurunkan kadar lemak dagingnya (P<0,05). Kesimpulan penelitian ini penambahan tepung daun kayu manis pada pakan berpengaruh terhadap kinerja pertumbuhan ikan lele (C. gariepinus).

This study aims to evaluate the effect of cinnamon leaf powder supplementation on feed on the growth performance of Clarias gariepinus catfish. The study used four treatments, namely the addition of cinnamon leaf flour as much as 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% in commercial feed. The catfish were kept in a 1x1x1 m3 net placed in a concrete pond with a stocking density of 20 fish/net cage for 30 days. Catfish were fed at satiation. The results showed that the addition of cinnamon leaf powder to the feed did not affect the feed conversion ratio, but the addition of 1.5% cinnamon leaf to the feed increased the growth of catfish and reduced the fat of meat (P<0.05). So it can be concluded that the addition of cinnamon leaf powder to feed had a significant effect on the growth of Clarias gariepinus catfish.
