This study aimed to determine the influence of ration supplementation with brown seaweed (Turbinaria murayana) on performance, carcass quality, physiological organs, liver fat and broiler liver cholesterol. This study used 100 DOC (day old chicken) broilers of Arbor Acres CP 707 strains. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments; each treatment was repeated four times. The treatments were presented as brown seaweed (Turbinaria murayana), by a rate of 0, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% in broiler ration. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Duncan's Multiple Range Test to reveal the significant differences between different treatments applied. The results showed that the use of Turbinaria murayana up to the level of 10% in the ration can maintain performance, carcass quality, do not interfere with physiological organs, and can reduce the content of abdominal fat, liver fat and broiler liver cholesterol. The study concluded that the use of Turbinaria murayana as a rations supplemental material up to the 10% level can stimulate broilers' performance and carcass characteristics.
This study aims to obtain the best lignin content, ligninase enzyme activity and in vitro digestibility value of fermented sugarcane shoots using Pleurotus ostreatus and Aspergillus oryzae at different fermentation times. The research process is divided into 2 stages. Stage 1 treatment samples include A1B1 = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Pleurotus ostreatus for 14 days; A1B2 = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Pleurotus ostreatus for 21 days; A1B3 = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Pleurotus ostreatus for 28 days; A2B1 = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Aspergillus oryzae for 14 days; A2B2 = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Aspergillus oryzae for 21 days; A2B3 = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Aspergillus oryzae for 28 days. The design used is a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern. Stage 2 treatment samples cover A = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Pleorotus ostreatus for 21 days; B = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Pleorotus ostreatus for 28 days; C = Sugarcane shoots fermented with Aspergillus oryzae for 21 days; D = Fermented sugarcane shoots with Aspergillus oryzae for 28 days. The design used was a randomized block design. The results showed that there was no interaction between the type of mold and the fermentation time on the lignin content (P>0.05), but there was an interaction with the enzyme activity of Laccase, LiP and MnP (P<0.05). Also, there were significant differences in the digestibility of protein, cellulose, hemicellulose, VFA and NH3 (P<005), however the digestibility of DM, OM, ADF, NDF and rumen fluid pH had no significant difference (P>0.05). It was concluded that sugarcane shoots fermented with Pleurotus ostreatus mold for 28 days got the best results with the value as follow, lignin content (11.55%), CP digestibility (57.90%), cellulose digestibility (50.25%), Hemicellulose digestibility (62.65%), Laccase enzyme activity (2.68 U/mL), LiP enzyme activity (19.44 U/mL), VFA (111.67 mM) and NH3 (10.48 mg/100 mL).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
