Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving golden snail meat flour in broiler rations aged 2-5 weeks to the appearance of broiler chickens and to find out what level of golden snail meat flour can give the results of body weight gain, final body weight, feed consumption, and conversion best ration. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 3 replications for each treatment. The five treatments were rations without the content of golden snail meat flour as control and rations containing golden snail meat flour 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The parameters observed were bodyweight gain, final body weight, feed consumption, and FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio). The data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance. If between treatments showed a real difference, then proceed with Duncan's test. The results of the study of the addition of golden snail meat flour (Pomacea canaliculata) in broiler chicken rations had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the research variables' weight gain, final body weight, and lower FCR. Whereas the consumption of rations had a significant effect (P<0.05). In treatment R2 (10%) gave better results than other treatments (R0, R1, R3, and R4). This means that the treatment of giving golden snail meat flour in the ration apparently can increase the weight gain of broiler chickens. This is because the golden snail contains quite high protein. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the administration of golden snail meat flour (Pomacea canaliculata) in broiler rations has a very significant effect on increasing weight gain, final weight, and decreasing FCR and significantly influencing ration consumption.

Highlights

  • Increased welfare and the level of public awareness of the fulfillment of nutrition, especially animal protein helped increase the demand for livestock products

  • Fish meal is one of the sources of protein in broiler chicken rations and almost all dietary formulas use the fish meal as a source of protein, but the current fish meal is quite expensive. This is an obstacle for farmers so that to reduce costs can be replaced with local ingredients that are cheaper, easier to obtain, have good nutritional content, and do not compete with human needs

  • The researcher is interested in researching with the title Appearance of Broiler that Given Golden Apple Snail Meat (Pomacea canaliculate) Flour as Replacement of Fish Flour, in broiler rations

Summary

Introduction

Increased welfare and the level of public awareness of the fulfillment of nutrition, especially animal protein helped increase the demand for livestock products. Fish meal is one of the sources of protein in broiler chicken rations and almost all dietary formulas use the fish meal as a source of protein, but the current fish meal is quite expensive. This is an obstacle for farmers so that to reduce costs can be replaced with local ingredients that are cheaper, easier to obtain, have good nutritional content, and do not compete with human needs. This research was conducted to determine the effect of giving golden snail meat flour (Pomacea canaliculata) in the amount of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, in the ration on the appearance of a broiler. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving golden snail
