Penggunaan Tepung Larva Black Soldier Fly (Hermia illucens) dalam Pakan terhadap Kinerja Pertumbuhan Ikan Mas (Cyprinus carpio)

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kinerja pertumbuhan ikan mas (Cyprinus carpio) dengan penggunaan tepung larva black soldier fly (BSF) dalam pakan. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap, terdiri dari empat perlakuan dosis berbeda tepung BSF pada pakan masing-masing terdiri dari kontrol (tidak ada tambahan tepung BSF), 5% (pemberian tepung BSF 5% dari jumlah total pakan), 10% (pemberian BSF 10% dari jumlah total pakan), 15% (pemberian BSF 15% dari jumlah total pakan). Penelitian dilakukan selama 60 hari menggunakan akuarium berukuran 90x50x50 cm3 dengan padat tebar 15 ekor/wadah dan diberi pakan tiga kali sehari. Parameter kualitas air selama penelitian optimal untuk pertumbuhan ikan. Nilai bobot akhir, specific growh rate, konversi pakan dan kelangsungan hidup pada pemberian tepung BSF 5% tidak berbeda nyata dengan kontrol (p>0,05). Sementara itu, perlakuan tepung BSF lainnya memiliki kinerja pertumbuhan lebih rendah daripada kontrol. Dengan demikian, tepung BSF sebanyak 5% pada pakan dapat meningkatkan kinerja pertumbuhan ikan mas.

This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) using black soldier fly (BSF) larva flour in feed. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design with four different treatments of BSF flour doses in the feed. The treatments consisted of a control group (no addition of BSF flour), 5% BSF (BSF flour added at 5% of the total feed), 10% BSF (BSF flour added at 10% of the total feed), and 15% BSF (BSF flour added at 15% of the total feed). The study was conducted for 60 days using aquariums measuring 90x50x50 cm with a stocking density of 15 fish per container, and the fish were fed three times a day. The water quality parameters during the study were optimal for fish growth. The final weight and specific growth rate (SGR) values for the 5% BSF treatment were not significantly different from the control group, while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and survival rate (SR) showed significant differences (p<0.05). The survival rate of the fish was 97.78, which was the same as the control group. The addition of 5% BSF flour in the feed improved the growth performance of common carp.
