Abstract

Green tea waste contains antioxidant compounds that have many pharmacological properties and contain tannins that can reduce digestibility, so further processing is needed by means of fermentation to increase digestibility. Fermented green tea waste combined with probiotic Lactobacillus sp is expected to have a more significant impact on the growth of livestock and their products. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of adding a combination of fermented green tea waste and probiotic Lactobacillus sp in the ration on the chemical quality of Cihateup duck meat. The study was conducted experimentally using 60 Cihateup ducks which were randomly grouped into 4 groups of feed treatment as follows: K1 (100% basal feed/0% fermented green tea waste), K2 (basal feed + 1% fermented green tea waste + 3% probiotics), K3 (basal feed + 2% fermented green tea waste + 2% Probiotic) and K4 (basal feed + 3% fermented green tea waste + 1% Probiotic). The parameters of this study were the chemical quality of Cihateup duck meat which consisted of water content, protein content, and fat content. The results showed that the addition of a combination of fermented green tea waste and probiotic Lactobacillus sp significantly affect (P<0.05) the protein content and fat content of meat, while the water content parameter was not affected. K2 (basal feed + 1% fermented green tea waste + 3% probiotics) treatment produced the highest meat protein content, while K1 (100% basal feed/0% fermented green tea waste + 0% probiotics) treatment resulted in lower meat fat content than other treatments.
