Influence addition of noni (Morinda citrifolia) in the commercial feed on protein and lipid retentions of sangkuriang catfish (Clarias sp.).

Abstract

Abstract Catfish (Clarias sp.) Is a freshwater fish that have been grown commercially. One effort to improve feed efficiency is to use a feed additive. Noni (Morinda citrifolia) is a medicinal plant that can be used as a natural feed additive (fitobiotik). This study purposed to study the influence of noni juice (addition on commercial feed on protein and fat retentions in catfish. This study was used as an experimental method to completely randomized design consisting of five treatments and four replications. The number of doses of noni juice is added to the commercial feed is: P0 (0 ml/kg), P1 (5 ml/kg), P2 (10 ml/kg), P3 (15 ml/kg) and P4 (20 ml/kg). Analysis of the data using variant analysis (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The addition of noni juice on commercial diets significant effect on the retention of the protein in catfish and the addition of Noni juice on commercial diets do not provide a real impact on the retention of fat in catfish.
