PENGARUH PEMANFAATAN ECENG GONDOK (Eichhornia crassipes) FERMENTASI DALAM RANSUM TERHADAP PERFORMANS ITIK LOKAL JANTAN UMUR 2-9 MINGGU

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of fermented water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)
fermentation in the ration against the rate of feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed
convertion of nine week old male local ducks and to study were determined the best level the rate of
feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed convertion of nine weeks. The research design uses a
Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatment and each treatment was repeated four
times and each repeat consist of five male local ducks. The research showed that water hyacinth
(Eichhornia crassipes) fermentation in the ration utilization give unsignificantly (P>0.05) influence
to feed consumption and feed convertion. But give significsntly (P<0.05 )to body weight gain.The best
level of the giving of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) fermentation in the ration found on P3
with level15%.
