Skripsi a.n FAUZAN ARIFIANDI (D2401221078) PERFORMA DAN KARKAS KELINCI NEW ZEALAND WHITE YANG DIBERI PAKAN KOMPLIT MENGANDUNG INDIGOFERA

Abstract

Ketergantungan pada bahan pakan impor menyebabkan biaya produksi ternak meningkat sehingga diperlukan bahan pakan alternatif yang tersedia secara lokal, salah satunya Indigofera sp. Penelitian mengevaluasi performa dan karkas kelinci New Zealand White yang diberi pakan komplit mengandung Indigofera 20%. Penelitian menggunakan 12 ekor kelinci New Zealand White dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK). Perlakuan yang diberikan terdiri atas pakan kontrol komersial (P0) dan pakan komplit mengandung Indigofera 20% (P1). Peubah yang diamati meliputi konsumsi bahan kering, pertambahan bobot badan harian, feed con-version ratio (FCR), Mortalitas, income over feed cost (IOFC), dan persentase kar-kas. Hasil analisis ragam menunjukkan bahwa pemberian pakan tidak berbeda nyata terhadap konsumsi bahan kering, pertambahan bobot badan harian, IOFC, dan per-sentase karkas (P>0,05), tetapi berbeda nyata terhadap FCR (P<0,05). Pakan kom-plit mengandung Indigofera 20% menghasilkan performa yang tidak berbeda dengan pakan komersial pada sebagian besar peubah yang diamati, meskipun nilai FCR lebih tinggi. Persentase karkas tidak berbeda antara kedua perlakuan.

Dependence on imported feed ingredients increases livestock production costs, therefore alternative locally available feed resources are needed. One potential feed ingredient is Indigofera sp.This study aimed to evaluate the performance and car-cass characteristics of New Zealand White rabbits fed a complete diet containing In-digofera sp. The experiment used 12 New Zealand White rabbits in a randomized complete block design. The treatments consisted of commercial control feed (P0) and complete feed containing Indigofera (P1). The variables observed included dry matter intake, average daily gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), income over feed cost (IOFC), and carcass percentage. Analysis of variance showed that feed treat-ment had no significant effect on dry matter intake, average daily gain, IOFC, and carcass percentage (P>0.05), but significantly affected FCR (P<0.05). The 20% Indigofera diet showed no significant differences from the commercial diet in most parameters, although FCR was higher. Carcass percentage did not differ between treatments.
