Performa Ayam Petelur Yang Diberi Tepung Daun Jambu Biji (Psidium guajava) Dalam Pakan

Abstract

Ayam petelur merupakan jenis ternak yang dipelihara untuk produksi telur. Performa ayam petelur dipengaruhi oleh pakan, sehingga pemberian pakan berkualitas dapat mengoptimalkan kinerjanya. Daun jambu biji (Psidium guajava) mengandung senyawa yang dapat meningkatkan performa ayam petelur. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh penambahan daun jambu biji dalam pakan terhadap performa ayam petelur. Penelitian dilakukan selama sepuluh minggu produksi dengan menggunakan 100 ekor ayam petelur strain Lohman Brown, yang dibagi ke dalam empat perlakuan, yaitu tanpa penambahan daun jambu biji (P1), penambahan daun jambu biji sebanyak 1% (P2), 1,5% (P3), dan 2% (P4) dalam pakan. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi konsumsi pakan, produksi telur, massa telur, konversi pakan, mortalitas, dan IOFC. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa P2 berpengaruh nyata terhadap konsumsi pakan dan P4 berpengaruh nyata terhadap konversi pakan sementara pemberian daun jambu biji tidak berpengaruh terhadap persen produksi telur, massa telur, dan mortalitas. IOFC tertinggi pada P2 sebesar Rp274.740.

Laying hens are type of poultry that raised for egg production. The performance of laying hens is influenced by feed, so providing high-quality feed can optimize their production performance. Guava leaves (Psidium guajava) contain compounds that can optimize the performance of laying hens. This study aimed to analyzed the effect of adding guava leaves in feed on the performance of laying hens. The researched was conducted over ten weeks production period using 100 Lohman Brown strain laying hens, which were divided into four treatments: no guava leaf supplementation (P1), the addition of 1% guava leaf (P2), 1,5% (P3), and 2% (P4) in feed. The collected data included feed consumption, egg production, egg mass, feed conversion, mortality, and income over feed cost (IOFC). The results showed that P2 had a significant effect on feed consumption, and P4 significantly affected feed conversion, while guava leaf supplementation had no significant effect on egg production percentage, egg mass, and mortality. The highest IOFC was recorded in P2 at IDR274.740.
