Blood Mineral Response of Local Duck Fed the Diet Containing Seaweed Gracilaria sp. Waste and Additives Multienzyme

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the blood mineral of Tegal ducks as a response to diet containing Gracilaria sp. waste and additive multienzyme. The study used 72 laying ducks of 22 weeks old which were allotted to 6 treatments, i.e. (1) control diet, (2) diet with multienzymes, (3) diet with 10% LG (4) diet with 10% LG + multienzyme, (5) diet with 12.5 % LG + multienzymes (6) diet with 15% LG + multienzyme. Commercial Multienzyme consisted of protease, amylase, pectinase, β-glucanase, xylanase, phytase, cellulase from Altech (Allzyme SSF) at a dose of 150 g / ton of feed. Gracilaria sp. waste was given in the form of meal. The results demonstrated that feed Gracilaria sp. waste and additives multienzymes significantly (P 0.05). The use of feed containing seaweed waste multienzyme coupled to a level 15% gave a good response in the blood mineral levels of local ducks compare to control.
