The addition of both Ca2+ and Na+ metal ions to prebiotic productions from cassava peels to enhance the quality of broilers

Abstract

prebiotics which is made from cassava peel is one of the functional foods that cannot be digested by the intestine, functioning as a supplement to encourage the growth of good microorganisms, namely Lactobacillus plantarum in the digestive system. This study aims to determine the effect of adding Ca2+ and Na+ metal ions to prebiotics from cassava peels to enhance the broiler quality. Stages of research include fermentation, glucoamylase enzyme analysis using dinitro salicylate acid (DNS) and prebiotic application of broiler by observing two variables, there are broiler weight and blood cholesterol levels. The treatment given to broilers first is without any precautions namely control (P0), second where the positive control with addition of antibiotics (P1), third with the addition of prebiotics (P2), fourth is the addition of both prebiotics and metal ions 0.002 Molarity (P3), fifth is the addition of both prebiotics and metal ions 0.004 Molarity (P4), sixth is the addition of both prebiotics and metal ions 0.006 Molarity (P5). The results showed that glucoamylase enzyme activity in P2, P3, P4, and p5 were 0.0099 U / mL, 0.0117 U / mL, 0.0133 U / mL, and 0.0183 U / mL, respectively. The results for the application of chicken weights at P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 respectively were 1061 g, 1094.8 g, 1159.2 g, 1222.7 g, 1225.8 g, and 1227 g, while the results of blood cholesterol in broilers in P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 are 255.5 mg/dL, 177 mg/dL, 139 mg / dL, 118 mg/dL, 103 mg/dL, and 120.5 mg/dL respectively. The results showed that the used prebiotics and the addition of metal ion concentrations Ca2+ and Na+ 0.002 Molarity, 0.004 Molarity, and 0.006 Molarity were increased the broiler weight, while reducing broiler blood cholesterol levels.
