Substitution of commercial feed with fermented banana peel flour (Musaceaea sp.) and fish meal to feed consumption level, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, fat retention, and energy retention in siam catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus)

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of commercial feed substitution with fermented banana peel flour and fish meal on feeding rate, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, fat and energy retention. This study used a Completely Randomized Design which consisted of 5 treatments: P0 (100% commercial feed), P1 (commercial feed 95% + 5% FTKPTI), P2 ( commercial feed 90% + 10% FTKPTI), P3 (commercial feed 85% + 15% FTKPTI), and P4 (commercial feed 80% + 20% FTKPTI). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The results of statistical analysis showed that commercial feed substitution using fermentation of banana peel flour (Musaceaea sp.) And fish meal resulted in feed consumption values, specific growth rates, feed efficiency, fat retention and energy retention which had no significant differences (p> 0.05). This shows that commercial feed substitution using fermentation of banana peel flour (Musaceaea sp.) and fish meal up to a dose of 20% in feed has the same feed consumption, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, fat retention and energy retention values as well as the control feed.
