Information the nutritional requirements of local broiler ducks has been already available, but for Pekin ducks reared in Indonesia is still limited. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of two types formula rations (ration-A and ration-B) of feed on performance of three genotypes broiler ducks (Pekin, PMp and E-PMp). A total of 240 day-old ducks fed for six weeks were allocated into 6 treatments with 4 replicates and each replication consisted of 10 ducks. The study was conducted with completely randomized factorial design 3×2. The first factor was genotypes of broiler ducks (three genotypes) the second was type different feed formula (two types) nutrient content. Variables measured include feed consumption, body weight live, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Based on analysis of variances, interaction between genotype ducks with types of formulation did not significantly (P>0.05) affect to the performance. All variables measured were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the feed treatments, but were significantly (P<0.01) affected by duck genotype. The average feed consumption, live body weight, body weight gain of Pekin ducks were significantly (P<0.01) higher than E-PMp and PMp ducks. FCR of Pekin and E-PMP broiler ducks was relatively similar (4.49 and 4.78 respectively), and markedly better than the FCR of PMp duck (5.29). It was concluded that the ration-B was relatively comparable effective as ration-A to the performance of all broiler ducks.Key Words: Lysine, Energy, Ration, Broiler Ducks Performance
ABSTRAKInformasi kebutuhan gizi itik pedaging lokal sudah tersedia, akan tetapi informasi kebutuhan gizi itik Peking yang dipelihara di Indonesia masih terbatas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji efek dua formula ransum yang berbeda kandungan gizi (lisin dan energi) terhadap konsumsi dan efisiensi ransum dari tiga genotipe itik (Peking, PMp dan E-PMp) umur enam minggu. Sebanyak 240 ekor itik sejak umur sehari dipelihara selama enam minggu dan dialokasikan ke dalam 6 perlakuan, 4 ulangan dan setiap ulangan terdiri dari 10 ekor itik. Rancangan penelitian adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap pola faktorial 3×2. Faktor pertama adalah genotipe itik pedaging (tiga genotipe) dan faktor kedua adalah jenis formula ransum (ransum A dan ransum B). Peubah yang diamati mencakup konsumsi pakan, bobot badan hidup, pertambahan bobot badan dan feed conversion ratio (FCR) selama enam minggu. Hasil analisis sidik ragam menunjukkan bahwa interaksi antara formula ransum dengan genotipe itik tidak nyata (P>0,05) berpengaruh terhadap performa itik. Semua peubah yang diamati tidak dipengaruhi (P>0,05) oleh pemberian ransum perlakuan, akan tetapi sangat nyata (P<0,01) dipengaruhi oleh genotipe itik. Rata-rata konsumsi pakan, bobot badan hidup dan PBB itik Peking sangat nyata (P<0,01) lebih tinggi dari itik PMp dan E-PMp. Rata-rata FCR itik Peking dan E-PMp tidak berbeda nyata berkisar dari 4,49-4,78 dan nyata lebih baik dibandingkan dengan FCR itik PMp (5,29). Disimpulkan bahwa ransum B...
