Pengaruh Pemberian Tepung Jahe Terhadap Performa Produk Ayam Petelur Hy-line Brown di CV Global Buwana Farm

Abstract

Penurunan performa ayam petelur fase akhir dan pembatasan penggunaan antibiotik sebagai feed additive mendorong pemanfaatan bahan alami yang aman dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh tepung jahe terhadap performa produksi ayam petelur Hy-Line Brown menggunakan 20 ekor ayam umur 88–91 minggu dengan satu kontrol dan tiga perlakuan penambahan tepung jahe 3%, 4%, dan 5% selama 21 hari. Parameter yang diamati meliputi Hen Day Production (HDP), berat telur, konsumsi pakan, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), dan bobot badan yang dianalisis menggunakan uji One-Way ANOVA dan uji Duncan pada taraf signifikan P<0,05. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pemberian tepung jahe berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap konsumsi pakan, HDP, dan FCR, tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap berat telur dan bobot badan. Perlakuan tepung jahe 5% menghasilkan konsumsi pakan tertinggi (127,42±1,10 g/ekor/hari), HDP tertinggi (97,33±0,00%), dan FCR terendah (1,575±0,011), sehingga dosis 5% dinyatakan paling efektif untuk meningkatkan performa produksi ayam petelur Hy-Line Brown pada fase akhir produksi.

The decline in laying hen performance during the late production phase and the restriction on antibiotic use as feed additives have encouraged the utilization of safe and sustainable natural ingredients. This study aimed to analyze the effect of ginger flour on the production performance of Hy-Line Brown laying hens using 20 birds aged 88–91 weeks with one control and three treatments of ginger flour supplementation at 3%, 4%, and 5% for 21 days. The parameters observed included Hen Day Production (HDP), egg weight, feed intake, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), and body weight which were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA followed by Duncan's test at a significance level of P<0.05. Results showed that ginger flour supplementation significan tly affected (P<0.05) feed consumption, HDP, and FCR, but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on egg weight and body weight. The 5% ginger flour treatment produced the highest feed consumption (127.42±1.10 g/bird/day), the highest HDP (97.33±0.00%), and the lowest FCR (1.575±0.011), making the 5% dose the most effective level for improving the production performance of Hy-Line Brown laying hens in the late production phase.
