Pengaruh Pemberian Air Rebusan Daun Pepaya Jepang (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) dalam Air Minum terhadap Performa Ayam Broiler

The Effect of Japanese Papaya Leaf (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) Decoction in Drinking Water on Broiler Chicken Performance

Abstract

This research aimed to study the effect of administering Japanese Papaya leaf decoction in drinking water on broiler chicken performance. The study was designed using a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replicates. Each replicate contained 5 chickens. The treatments were P₀ as the control, with no added Japanese Papaya leaf decoction; P₁ 25 ml of Japanese Papaya leaf decoction / 975 ml drinking water; P₂ 50 ml of Japanese Papaya leaf decoction / 950 ml drinking water; P₃ 75 ml of Japanese Papaya leaf decoction / 925 ml drinking water; and P₄ 100 ml of Japanese Papaya leaf decoction / 900 ml drinking water. Parameters observed included feed intake, drinking water consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the addition of Japanese Papaya leaf decoction to drinking water had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the amount of drinking water consumed, but did not significantly affect (P>0.05) feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. Based on the research findings, it is concluded that providing Japanese Papaya leaf decoction at a concentration of 100 ml / 900 ml drinking water can increase drinking water consumption but has not yet improved feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio in Broiler Chickens

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh pemberian air rebusan daun pepaya jepang dalam air minum terhadap performa ayam broiler. Dirancang menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap yang terdiri atas 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Masing-masing ulangan berisi 5 ekor ayam. Perlakuan yang diberikan yaitu: P0 sebagai kontrol tanpa tambahan air rebusan daun pepaya jepang; P1 25 ml air rebusan daun pepaya jepang / 975 ml air minum; P2 50 ml air rebusan daun pepaya jepang / 950 ml air minum; P3 75 ml air rebusan daun pepaya jepang / 925 ml air minum; dan P4 100 ml air rebusan daun pepaya jepang / 900 ml air minum. Parameter yang diamati meliputi konsumsi pakan, konsumsi air minum, pertambahan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan. Hasil analisis ragam menunjukkan bahwa penambahan air rebusan daun pepaya jepang ke dalam air minum berpengaruh signifikan (P<0,05) terhadap jumlah air minum yang dikonsumsi, namun tidak memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan (P>0,05) terhadap konsumsi pakan, peningkatan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, disimpulkan bahwa pemberian air rebusan daun pepaya jepang dengan 100 ml / 900 ml air minum mampu meningkatkan konsumsi air minum dan belum mampu memperbaiki konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan ayam broiler.
