The aimed of this study was to determine the effect of suplementation level of alfafa (Medicago sativa L.) on hybrid duck’s meat quality with basal diet commercial feed. This study used in vivo tecnique on 108 hybrid ducks. The research consisted of 3 treatments and 6 replications, each replication consisted of 6 ducks. The treatments were P1 = commercial feed + 0 % fresh alfafa, P2 = commercial feed + 5 % alfafa, P3 = commercial feed + 10 % fresh alfafa. Alfalfa was calculated in dry matter based but offered in the form as fed. Feed and water was offered ad libitum. The variables measured include product appereance, carcass quality, physic and chemical hybrid duck’s meat. One way Completely randomized design was used in this research. All data collected was analized with Statistical Package for Sosial Science version 22. Data with significant differences were further tested with Duncan’s new Multiple Range Test. Data resulted significant differences (P<0.05) on water content, pH, water holding capasity, and coking loss of the meat among treatment, but not for crude protein, extract ether, and tenderness (P>0.05). Based on the data resulted, it can be concluded that commercial feed with 5 % alalfa suplementation (P2) was the best treatment to the physic and chemical quality meat of hybrid duck.
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.
