Percentage of Carcass and Protein Content of Breast Meat of Native Chicken Given Apu-Apu Flour (Pistia stratiotes)

Abstract

The research aimed to determine the percentage of carcass and protein content of super native chicken breast meat given rations containing apu-apu flour (Pistia stratiotes). The research design used was completely randomized design (C.R.D.) with five treatments and three replications. Each test consisted of three super three-month-old native chickens. Apu-apu flour levels in each treatment, namely P0 (0%), P1 (5%), P2 (10%), P3 (15%) and P4 (20%). The study was conducted for four weeks. The percentage of carcasses in each treatment were P0 (67.51%), P1 (69.33%), P2 (69.47%), P3 (68.76%) and P4 (70.88%). Furthermore, protein content in breast meat, namely P0 (25.21%), P1 (26.03%), P2 (25.43%), P3 (25.86%) and P4 (25.35%). There were no significant effects (P> 0.05) of fluorine in rations on the carcass percentage and protein content of super native chicken breast meat. The highest average value of carcass percentage was in the treatment of 20% Pistia stratiotes flour, while the highest breast meat protein content was in the treatment of 5% Pistia stratiotes flour.

The Impact of Zn, Cu and Fe Chelates on the Fatty-Acid Profile and Dietary Value of Broiler-Chicken Thigh Meat

“…The diet of slaughter animals can modify the chemical composition of meat; for instance, it can increase the content of protein and reduce the level of fat, as demonstrated in studies involving pigs, poultry, rabbits and ruminants [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. The presented study did not note any impact of chelates on the proximate composition (crude protein, total fat).…”

The Effect of Garlic (Allium Sativum L) flour as a Feed Additive on Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Super Free-Range Chickens

“…The protein sources obtained from native chicken include meat and eggs. However, the availability of native chickens is still minimal, and the production of the chickens is limited; thus, native chickens do not meet the demand [1]- [3]. Super free-range chickens (SFRCs) are beneficial because they can produce in large quantities with uniform weights and a faster growth rate than ordinary native chickens or local chickens.…”
