Pengaruh Penambahan Probiotik Saccharomyces cerevisiae terhadap Performa Ayam Petelur di CV. Global Buwana Farm

Abstract

Ayam ras petelur memiliki potensi produksi telur yang tinggi sehingga memerlukan manajemen nutrisi yang optimal untuk mencapai performa maksimal. Pemberian probiotik Saccharomyces cerevisiae dapat meningkatkan kesehatan saluran pencernaan, efisiensi pemanfaatan pakan, serta produktivitas telur. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh penambahan probiotik Saccharomyces cerevisiae terhadap performa ayam petelur dan kualitas telur di CV. Global Buwana Farm. Penelitian menggunakan 20 ekor ayam Hy-Line Brown dengan umur 88– 91 minggu. Penelitian ini menggunakan 4 perlakuan, yaitu P1 kontrol, P2 diberi probiotik 0,5%, P3 diberi probiotik 1%, dan P4 diberi probiotik 1,5%. Parameter yang diamati yaitu konsumsi pakan, produksi telur harian, efisiensi pakan, berat badan, serta kualitas eksternal dan internal telur. Data dianalisis menggunakan One-Way ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penambahan probiotik pada level 1% memberikan respons terbaik, hen day production dan perbaikan feed conversion ratio. Kualitas telur juga mengalami peningkatan meskipun tidak menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan antarperlakuan. Temuan ini berpotensi mendukung efisiensi pemeliharaan dan produktivitas ayam petelur.

Laying hens have high egg production potential, thus requiring optimal nutritional management to achieve maximum performance. Providing probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae can enhance digestive tract health, improve feed utilization efficiency, and increase egg productivity. This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae on laying hen performance and egg quality at CV. Global Buwana Farm. The study used 20 Hy-Line Brown hens aged 88–91 weeks. This study employed four treatments: P1, the control; P2, given 0.5% probiotic; P3, given 1% probiotic; and P4, given 1.5% probiotic. The parameters observed were feed consumption, daily egg production, feed efficiency, body weight, and external and internal egg quality. Data were analyzed using oneway ANOVA. The results showed that the addition of probiotics at the 1% level provided the best response, including improved hen-day production and a better feed conversion ratio. Egg quality also increased, although there was no significant difference between treatments. These findings have the potential to support the maintenance efficiency and productivity of laying hens.
