PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN BERBAGAI HERBAL CAIR PADA PAKAN TERHADAP EFISIENSI PAKAN DAN INCOME OVER FEED COST AYAM PETELUR

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding various liquid
herbs to feed on feed efficiency and income over feed cost in laying hens. The
material used in this study was laying hens of the ISA brown strain of 160 heads,
aged 70 weeks who were kept for a month in an open house cage. The method
used is the Complete Randomized Design (RAL) experimental method, consisting
of 4 treatments, namely P0 (basal feed without the addition of liquid herbs), P1
(basal feed + turmeric liquid herbs 1%), P2 (basal feed + ginger liquid herbs 1%),
P3 (basal feed + Temulawak liquid herbs 1%), with 5 repeats. The variables
observed were feed efficiency and Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC). The research
data were analyzed using ANAVA if there was a noticeable effect, then continued
with the BNT test for feed efficiency while IOFC used quantitative descriptive
analysis. The results showed that the addition of various liquid herbs of 1% to
laying hen feed had a very real effect (P˂0.01) on feed efficiency and Income
Over Feed Cost (IOFC), the highest value was found in the control at 57.75% and
Rp 132.272. The conclusion of the study showed that giving liquid herbs to feed
with a level of 1% had no effect on IOFC feed efficiency.
