Penggunaan Albumin Serum Sapi dalam Perendaman Hormon Pertumbuhan Rekombinan pada Benih Ikan Gurami

Abstract

Immersion of recombinant growth hormone can improve the growth of giant gourami juvenile. This research was conducted to examine the effectiveness of 0,12 mg/L recombinant Ephinepelus lanceolatus growth hormone (rElGH) immersion with and without bovine serum albumin (BSA). This study used a randomized complete design with 3 replicates and the treatment are 0,12 mg/L rElGH and BSA 100 mg/L (P1) compare with 0,12 mg/L rElGH without BSA (P2) and without rElGH without BSA (K) as control. Immersion was done for 1 hour, fish was then reared for 6 weeks and fed with tubifex with ad libitum. The result showed that rElGH treatment without BSA was not significantly affected body weight, biomass, and spesific growth rate (P>0,05) while the immersion of rElGH with BSA could increased 113.12% biomass compared to the rElGH immersion without BSA. Immersion of recombinant growth hormone to improve growth of giant gourami juvenile without BSA is not effective.
