%T PENGARUH PEMBERIAN ACIDIFIER CUKA APEL MELALUI AIR

MINUM TERHADAP PERFORMA AYAM ULU

%X Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian acidifier cuka apel
melalui air minum sebagai feed additive terhadap performa ayam ULU. Penelitian
ini dilaksanakan pada November 2023--Januari 2024 di kandang Open House
Jurusan Peternakan, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Lampung. Penelitian ini
menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan
5 ulangan serta setiap satuan percobaan terdiri atas 10 ekor ayam ULU sehingga
total ayam yang digunakan sebanyak 200 ekor. Perlakuan dimulai saat ayam
berumur 7 hari, perlakuan yang diberikan terdiri dari P0 : ransum komersil BR-11
(kontrol), P1 : ransum komersil BR-11 + penambahan acidifier cuka apel 0,25%,
P2 : ransum komersil BR-11 + penambahan acidifier cuka apel 0,5%, P3 : ransum
komersil BR-11 + penambahan acidifier cuka apel 0,75%. Data dianalisis
menggunakan analisis ragam dengan taraf nyata 5% apabila perlakuan
berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) maka dilanjut dengan uji BNT. Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan bahwa pemberian cuka apel tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05)
terhadap konsumsi ransum, pertambahan berat tubuh, dan konversi ransum
sehingga belum terdapat level pemberian cuka apel yang terbaik.

ABSTRACT

THE EFFECT OF ADMINISTERING APPLE VINEGAR ACIDIFIER
THROUGH DRINKING WATER ON THE PERFORMANCE OF ULU

CHICKENS

By
Juli Agustina Jahara

This research aims to determine the effect of giving apple vinegar acidifier
through drinking water as a feed additive on the performance of ULU chickens.
This research was carried out in November 2023--January 2024 in the Open
House enclosure of the Animal Husbandry Department, Faculty of Agriculture,
University of Lampung. This research used a Completely Randomized Design
(CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications and each experimental unit consisted
of 10 ULU chickens so that the total used was 200 chickens. Treatment started
when the chickens were 7 days old, the treatment given consisted of
P0: commercial ration BR-11 (control), P1: commercial ration BR-11 + addition
of 0.25% apple vinegar acidifier, P2: commercial ration BR-11 + addition
acidifier apple vinegar 0.5%, P3: commercial ration BR-11 + addition of acidifier
apple vinegar 0.75%. Data were analyzed by using analysis of variance with a
significance level of 5%, if the treatment had a real effect (P<0.05), then
continued with the BNT test. The results of the study showed that giving apple
cider vinegar did not have a significant effect (P>0.05) on ration consumption,
weight gain and ration conversion so that there was no best level of giving apple
cider vinegar.
