Nitrogen Retention and Productive Performance of Crossbred Native Chicken Due to Feeding Effect of Kayambang (Salvinia molesta)

Abstract

The present research was aimed to clarify the effect of feeding Salvinia molesta in crossbred native chicken on productive performance based on the ability of protein utilitation. The reseach was arranged in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications (5 birds each). The animals used in the present study were 100 birds of crossbred native chicken. The treatments given were as follows: T0 (diet without Salvinia molesta), T1 (diet with 6% Salvinia molesta), T2 (diet with 12% Salvinia molesta), T3 (diet with 18% Salvinia molesta). Parameter observed namely feed consumption, nitrogen retention, muscle protein mass, and body weight gain. The data were analysed using anova, when the effect of the treatments was significant, then duncan's multiple range test was applied. The results showed that the treatment of feeding Salvinia molesta indicated a sinificant effect (p<0.05) on nitrogen retention and productive performance. Feed consumption, nitrogen retention, muscle protein mass, and the body weight gain of T1, T2, and T3 were significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of control (t0), while among treatments T1, T2, and T3 were not different. Feeding Salvinia molesta up to the level of 18% can improve nitrogen retention and productive perfomance of crossbred native chicken.

The effect of adding glucomannan derived from porang tuber extract (Amorphopallus onchophyllus) on dietary protein utilization in broiler chicken

“…Nitrogen retention was not significantly different due to the same dietary protein content and nitrogen consumption. The present result was in accordance with the report of Primacitra et al (2014). Ma'rifah et al (2013 also mentioned that nitrogen retention was influenced by nitrogen consumption, because nitrogen retention was calculated based on the value of nitrogen consumption.…”

Body Resistance and Productive Performances of Crossbred Local Chicken Fed Inulin of Dahlia Tubers

“…The increasing BWG was attributable to protein utilization and health status, indicated by H/L ratio (Table 2) when inulin in the forms of powder and extract were fed. Increased chicken's health would decrease the utilization of protein for tissue repair and antibodies formation that eventually increased the deposition protein into the muscle (Jamilah et al, 2013) due to the improved nitrogen retention (Ma'rifah et al, 2013), and higher rate of muscle protein synthesis than degradation (Suthama, 2006). The increase in BWG was indicated by a linear curve ( Figure 5).…”

Pengaruh Frekuensi Penyajian Ransum Yang Berbeda Terhadap Rasio Efisiensi Protein, Massa Protein Daging Dan Massa Kalsium Daging Ayam Kampung Super

“…Menurut Gordon (1994) bahwa, pemberian pakan pada malam hari dapat meningkatkan aktivitas makan ayam tetapi dapat mengurangi kesempatan ayam untuk istirahat. Menurut Ma'rifah et al (2013) bahwa konsumsi ransum dipengaruhi oleh ketersedian nutrien terutama protein dan energi, jika ketersediaan nutrien seimbang maka efisiensi meningkat, selain itu suhu juga berpengaruh jika ayam terdapat pada suhu tidak nyaman maka penggunaannya sudah tidak efisien lagi, hal ini karena sejumlah energi yang masuk terpaksa digunakan untuk aktifitas fisiologis tubuh karena suhu yang tinggi. Zulkifi et al (2000) menyatakan bahwa ayam yang mendapatkan pemberian ransum suhu lingkungan yang rendah menunjukkan adanya perbaikan efisiensi protein dan juga mampu mengurangi angka kematian.…”
