Aplikasi Ekstrak Fermentasi kulit Nanas, Daun Pepaya, dan kulit Pisang untuk Meningkatkan Kinerja Pertumbuhan Ikan Nila

Abstract

Tingginya permintaan pasar ikan nila menyebabkan budidaya ikan nila menjadi salah satu kegiatan yang memiliki peluang baik untuk dikembangkan, namun para pembudidaya mengalami kendala berupa tingginya harga pakan. Tujuan dari kegiatan problem solving ini yaitu untuk menguji efektivitas laju pertumbuhan dan tingkat kelangsungan hidup dengan meningkatkan kualitas pakan menggunakan ekstrak fermentasi kulit nanas, daun pepaya, dan kulit pisang. Rancangan percobaan menggunakan metode rancangan acak lengkap dengan tiga perlakuan dan empat ulangan, meliputi K0 (ikan nila diberi pelet komersial kadar protein 27%), K1 (ikan nila diberi pelet komersial kadar protein 32%), dan NPS1 (ikan nila diberi pelet komersial kadar protein 27% + ekstrak fermentasi kulit nanas, daun pepaya, dan kulit pisang dengan dosis 1%). Hasil kegiatan problem solving menunjukkan bahwa penambahan ekstrak fermentasi kulit nanas, daun pepaya, dan kulit pisang dengan dosis 1% (NPS1) belum mampu meningkatkan kualitas pakan.

The high demand for tilapia market causes tilapia cultivation to be one of the activities that has a good opportunity to be developed, but the cultivators experience obstacles in the form of high feed prices. This problem-solving activity aims to test the effectiveness of growth rate and survival rate by improving feed quality using fermented extracts of pineapple peels, papaya leaves, and banana peels. The experimental design used a completely random design method with three treatments and four replicates, included K0 (tilapia was given a commercial feed with a protein content of 27%), K1 (tilapia was given a commercial feed with a protein content of 32%), and NPS1 (tilapia was given a commercial feed with a protein content of 27% + fermented extract of pineapple peels, papaya leaves, and banana peels at a dose of 1%). The results of the problem-solving activity showed that the addition of fermented extracts of pineapple peels, papaya leaves, and banana peels with a dose of 1% (NPS1) was not able to improve feed quality.
