Potential feed substitute of Cirripedia sp. flour on body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, feed consumption of buck

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Cirripedia sp. flour as a fish flour substitution on body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and feed consumption of the rabbit. The experimental design used was 4 treatments and 5 replication each. This research were 100 Rex buck aged 4 months. The feed treatments used were P0 (complete feed 100% with 15% fish flour), P1(complete feed 100% with 12.5% fish flour and 2.5% Cirripedia sp. flour), P2 (complete feed 100% with 10% fish flour and 5% Cirripedia sp. flour), P3 (complete feed 100% with 7.5% fish flour and 7.5% Cirripedia sp. flour). The data were recorded at the fourth week after observation based on feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. Data were analyzed with ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). Average feed consumption of P0 to P3 were 114,54, 112,09, 114,04, 112,71 g. Average of body weight gain of P0 to P3 were 20,01, 20,87, 20,72 and 20,75g. Average of feed conversion ratio of P0 to P3 were 5,79, 5,41, 5,62 and 5,48. The result showed with no significant difference (p>0.05) among the treatment in feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio in the rabbit.
