Abstract

ZAHRA SAFIRA. Karakteristik Karkas Ayam Broiler yang Diberi Minum Air Kelapa Fermentasi. Dibimbing oleh GILANG AYUNINGTYAS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji karakteristik karkas ayam broiler yang diberikan air kelapa fermentasi pada program air minum selama proses budidaya serta menganalisis aspek ekonominya. Ayam broiler merupakan salah satu jenis ayam ras yang memiliki laju pertumbuhan cepat. Dalam meningkatkan kualitas karkas, penelitian ini mengekplorasi penggunaan air kelapa fermentasi sebagai alternatif pengganti Antibiotic Growth Promotors (AGP) yang dilarang penggunaannya. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Sekolah Vokasi Institut Pertanian Bogor dari bulan Desember 2024 sampai Januari 2025. Metode yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan tiga perlakuan, yaitu P0 (tanpa penambahan air kelapa fermentasi), P1 (1 ml/l air minum saat starter dan 2 ml/l air minum saat grower- finisher), dan P2 (2 ml/l air minum saat starter dan 4 ml/l air minum saat grower-finisher). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pemberian air kelapa fermentasi berpengaruh nyata terhadap persentase dada ayam broiler, dengan hasil terbaik sebesar 42,04% (P2). Hasil pemberian air kelapa fermentasi juga memberikan keuntungan tertinggi pada perlakuan P2 sebesar Rp 44.493. Secara umum, pemberian sinbiotik ini tidak mempengaruhi karkeristik karkas.

ZAHRA SAFIRA. Carcass Characteristics of Broiler Chickens Given to Drink Fermented Coconut Water. Supervised by GILANG AYUNINGTYAS. This study aims to assess the characteristics of broiler carcasses given fermented coconut water in the drinking water program during the cultivation process and analyze its economic aspects. Broiler chicken is one of the breeds of chicken that has a fast growth rate. In improving carcass quality, this study explored the use of fermented coconut water as an alternative to Antibiotic Growth Promotors (AGP) which is prohibited. The research was conducted at the Vocational School of Bogor Agricultural University from December 2024 to January 2025. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments, namely P0 (without the addition of fermented coconut water), P1 (1 ml/l drinking water at starter and 2 ml/l drinking water at grower-finisher), and P2 (2 ml/l drinking water at starter and 4 ml/l drinking water at grower-finisher). The results showed that the provision of fermented coconut water had a significant effect on the percentage of broiler breast, with the best result of 42.04% (P2). The results of giving fermented coconut water also gave the highest profit in the P2 treatment of Rp 44,493. In general, the provision of synbiotics does not affect carcass characteristics.
