| dc.description.abstract | SYAHRIL BANCIN: Effectiveness of Physical Form Rations Containing
Cocoa Pod (Theobrama cacao L.) Fermentation (Aspergillus niger) carcass on
Rex Rabbit Release Wean, under advices HAMDAN and NEVY DIANA HANAFI.
Livestock rabbit is a commodity that can produce quality meat with high protein
content. Feed is an important factor in the livestock business, balanced nutrition
will result in higher meat production. Utilization of farm wastes such as cocoa pot
into animal feed, decent thing to do because it is not competitive with human
foodstuffs. Feed in the form of pellets have several advantages, namely: to
increase palatability, waste can be reduced rations due to wastage, can
streamline formula pelleted grain ration because each contains the same
nutrients. The experiment was conducted at the Compos Center Jl. Biotechnology
University Of North Sumatera Poss code: 20155, Medan. The study starts from
July to Sebtember 2012, using non-faktorial randomized block design with 6
treatments and 2 groups, treatment consisted of two factors: the physical
properties of food (mash and pellets) and fermented cocoa pod percentage (0%,
5%, and 10 % per treatment). Parameters observed body weight, carcass, carcass
percentage and comersial slice (foreleg, rack, lion, hindleg).
The results showed that mean body weigh 1880,50; 1923,50; 2000,50;
1985,00; 2070,00; 2014,00. Mean carcass 999,50; 1042,50; 1119,50; 1104,00;
2378,00; 1097,00. Mean carcass persentage 52,94; 53,70; 55,85; 55,46; 57,36;
54,41. Mean foreleg 150,50; 157,00; 169,00; 166,50; 179,00; 170,50. Mean rack
201,00; 209,50; 225,00; 222,00; 238,50; 227,50. Mean lion 374,00; 362,50;
389,00; 383,50; 413,50; 358,00. Mean hindleg 300,50; 313,50; 337,00; 332,00;
358,00; 341,00. The results showed that the effectiveness of the physical
properties of ration containing fermented cocoa pod Aspergillus niger was highly
significant terhadap body weight, carcass, carcass persentage, and comersial
slice (foreleg, rack, lion, hindleg). | en_US |
