Performa Sapi Pedaging yang Diberi Herbal Mineral Block Mengandung Tepung Larva Black Soldier Fly, Kunyit, dan Mineral Mikro

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh herbal mineral block (HMB) mengandung tepung deffated larva Black Soldier Fly (BSF), kunyit, dan mineral mikro terhadap performa sapi meliputi konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan harian, dan efisiensi pakan. Selama 30 hari, 12 sapi pedaging dengan usia rata-rata 12 bulan dan bobot badan 326,25 ± 54,20 kg dibagi menjadi 2 perlakuan dan 6 kelompok sebagai ulangan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) berdasarkan bobot badan awal dengan perlakuan, yaitu P0 = ransum tanpa pemberian HMB (kontrol) dan P1 = ransum dengan pemberian HMB. Variabel yang diamati adalah konsumsi pakan, konsumsi HMB, pertambahan bobot badan harian (PBBH), dan efisiensi pakan. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) dalam software IBM SPSS 25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian HMB selama 30 hari tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot harian dan efisiensi pakan. Simpulan dari penelitian ini, pemberian suplemen HMB belum memberi pengaruh terhadap performa sapi pada jangka pendek (30 hari).

The aim of this research was to analyze the feed intake, growth, and feed efficiency of cattle fed with Herbal Mineral Block (HMB) containing Defatted Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae meal, turmeric, and minerals. Over 30 days, 12 cattle with an average age of 12 months and weight of 326.25 ± 54,20 kg were divided into 2 treatments and 6 groups with a randomized block design. Cattle was grouped based on initial body weight with the following treatments, P0 = ration without HMB (control) and P1 = ration with HMB. The parameters measured were feed and HMB intake, average daily gain, and feed efficiency. The data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) on IBM SPSS 25. Results showed that supplementation of HMB within 30 days did not yet affects feed intake, average daily gain, and feed efficiency. It was concluded that HMB supplementation in a short time (30 days) did not yet improve the performance of the cattle.
