IMBANGAN PROTEIN DAN ENERGI BERBEDA DALAM RANSUM PUYUH FASE GROWER TERHADAP KONSUMSI PAKAN, PERTAMBAHAN BOBOT BADAN, DAN KONVERSI RANSUM

Abstract

ABSTRAK Kandungan energi dan protein pakan merupakan faktor yang mempengaruhi kualitas pakan dan performans produksi ternak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh imbangan energi dan protein berbeda dalam ransum puyuh fase grower terhadap konsumsi pakan, perrtambahan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan. Seratus dua puluh DOQ disebar secara acak pada 24 unit kandang percobaan. Perlakuan yang dicobakan terdiri atas 2 level energi pakan (2700 dan 2900 kkal/kg) dan 3 level protein pakan (18, 20, dan 22%), sehingga terdapat 6 kombinasi perlakuan, yaitu R1 (2700 EM – 18% PK), R2 (2700 EM – 20% PK), R3 (2700 EM – 22% PK), R4 (2900 EM – 18% PK), R5 (2900 EM – 20% PK), dan R6 (2900 EM – 22% PK). Pakan yang dicobakan merupakan pakan self mixing. Parameter yang diamati adalah konsumi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan puyuh umur 2 hingga 6 minggu. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam dan dilanjutkan dengan uji wilayah berganda duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa imbangan energi-protein pakan berbeda tidak memberikan pengaruh (P0,05) pada konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan. Kombinasi energi metabolisme 2700 kkal/kg dan 18% protein sudah dapat memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi puyuh periode grower.Kata Kunci: protein, energi, puyuh, grower ABSTRACT Energy and protein that contained in poultry feed is a factor that affect the feed quality and poultry production performance. This research aimed to study the effect of different energy and protein balance in quail feed on feed consumption, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. One hundred and twenty day old quails were divided into 24 units enclosure research. The trial feed was consist of 2 levels of energy feed (2700 and 2900 kcal/kg) and 3 levels of crude protein (18, 20, and 22% CP), so that there were 6 combinations of treatments, i.e. R1 (2700 ME – 18% CP), R2 (2700 ME – 20% CP), R3 (2700 ME – 22% CP), R4 (2900 ME – 18% CP), R5 (2900 ME – 20% CP), R6 (2900 ME – 22% CP). The used feed was a self mixing feed. The observed parameters were feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio of quail at 2-6 weeks of age. The data obtained were analyzed using variance analysis and continued using Duncan’s multiple range test. The result showed that the balance of energy-protein in quail feed did not affect (P0,05) feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. The combination of 2700 kcal/kg metabolizable energy and 18% cruse protein could already maintain the needs of the grower period of quail nutrients.Keywords: protein, energy, quail, grower
