Abstract:
|
Pig is one of the potencial livestock as meat producer. The increase of
production and its productivity has continually been done through its beneficial
characteristics such as prolific (high in litter size), high in feed efficiently, live
weight gain an carcass percentage. In pig production, feed cost is the biggest part of
production cost, it can reach up to 70-80%, therefore an effort to use feed efficiently
should be done to get the maximum profit. Biotetes SozoFM-4 is one of the new
appropriate technology in agriculture that might resolve the problem. Biotetes
SozoFM-4 is an organic based feed supplement, that influence in enhance metabolism
pig as well as increase growth rate. The aim of this research was to study the
influence of biotetes SozoFM-4 on the pig performances during growing period. The
Completely Randomized Design with four treatment levels were use in this
experiment. The treatment levels of biotetes SozoFM-4, wich are 0, 1, 2 and 3 drops
per 20 kg body weight. Sixteen castrated growing local pigs were alotted to the
treatment. Data were analysed with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), then followed
by the Tukey test on convidence level of 95 and 99% if the effect was significant.
The result showed that the supplementation of biotetes SozoFM-4 to the ration very
significantly (P<0,01) increased feed consumptions, average daily gain and feed
efficiency, while water content of feces was not affected by treatments, and less
protein content were found in feces of the pigs fed ration supplemented with biotetes
SozoFM-4, might be a sign of better protein absorbtion.
