A study to evaluate the implementation of integrated poultry production through contract farming system in Lombok, NTB was carried out from June to November 2009. The descriptive methods were used whilst the data was collected using survey methods. Fi y contract farmers were selected to measure the business performance with references on management, performance production index, FCR, and percentage of mortality. The results of this study indicated that the contract broiler production was chosen due to: (1) risk sharing (27.6%), fi nancial credits (25.8%), and the guarantee of marketing (23.3 %). Dissatisfaction particularly in aspects of incentive determination, the quota, and margins. The margin ratios between farmers and integrators, 30%: 70%; 40%: 60% or 50%: 50% with no clear reasons. Performance parameter was as an expectation, suggesting feed quality and management aspects were well implemented. In respect to Syariah bank, its outstanding was well understood but it have not been a ractive to the contract farmers. The capital is not the main reason to work with the integrators. The government involvement was needed to encourage poultry industry growth and looking for the new potential region and legislation on maintaining environment. New investors should be encouraged to overcome instability price.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mempelajari pengaruh pemberian pakan mengandung duckweed dengan penyajian berbeda pada itik lokal terhadap performan produksi dan kualitas kuning telur. Sebanyak 90 ekor itik berumur 24 minggu secara acak dibagi menjadi 18 kelompok dan ditempatkan masing-masing pada unit kandang berukuran 2 x 1 m 2. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan tiga perlakuan yang masing-masing terdiri atas 6 ulangan. Perlakuan P1 adalah P1 adalah kelompok itik yang diberi pakan komplit mengandung duckweed 20% dan disajikan dalam bentuk mash kering, P2 adalah kelompok itik yang diberi pakan komplit mengandung duckweed 20% dan disajikan dalam bentuk basah (bubur) dan P3 diberi ransum basal disajikan dalam bentuk mash kering dan duckweed disajikan secara terpisah dalam bentuk segar. Ransum disusun dengan kandungan nutrisi sama. Konsumsi, konversi pakan, dan pigmentasi kuning telur dipengaruhi oleh cara penyajian duckweed. Pemberian Pemberian duckweed segar mempunyai potensi yang baik untuk diterapkan dalam mengurangi biaya pengolahan pakan.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi suplementasi lisine pada broiler komersial umur 4 sampai 42 hari. Percobaan faktorial dengan 2 strain (Arbor Acres dan Lohmann) yang dibedakan jantan dan betina sebanyak 450 ekor, kemudian ditimbang dan secara acak ditempatkan pada 60 kadang bambu ukuran 2 m 2 dalam bangunan kandang terbuka. Starter komersial diberi lisin mono-HCL dengan level 0,0; 0,5; 1,0; 1,5; dan 2,0 g/kg dari umur 4-21 hari, kemudian diberi pakan finisher komersial dari umur 22-42 hari. Konsumsi pakan dan pertambahan bobot badan diukur setiap minggu. Pada umur 43 hari, 4 ekor untuk setiap ulangan diambil sebagai sampel dan dipotong untuk mengukur parameter karkas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan lisin pada ransum komersial meningkatkan berat karkas secara signifikan (P<0,05), dan cenderung meningkatkan daging dada serta menurunkan lemak abdominal. Strain Arbor Acres merespon dengan baik pada pakan dengan lisin yang rendah sedangkan strain Lohmann merespon lebih baik pada pakan dengan lisin tinggi. Katakunci: lisin, broiler, strain, daging dada, lemak abdominal ABSTRACTThis study evaluated lysine supplementation of 4 to 42 day of age of two commercial broiler genotypes (Arbor Acres and Lohmann). Four hundred and fifty day-old chicks were sexed and randomly distributed into 60 bamboo pens each 2 m 2 . A starter commercial diet as a basal diet was supplemented with lysine mono-HCL in a 2x2x5 factorial arrangement with lysine levels of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g/kg fed from 4-21 days of age, and then followed by a finisher diet fed from 22-42 days of age. Feed consumption, body weight gain and FCR were determined on weekly basis. On d 43 of experiment, 4 birds per each replicate were processed for carcass parameters. Results of the study revealed that lysine supplementation in a starter commercial diet increased significantly carcass weight (P<0.05. Improved breast meat and lower abdominal fat were found in lysine supplementation. Arbor Acres broilers response more efficient in low lysine whilst Lohmann broilers were better in a higher level of lysine.
