Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyse the effects of adding herbal pulp Oryza sativa and Kaempferia galanga L as a feed additive on organ weight and abdominal fat in hybrid ducks. The materials used were 192 Day Old Ducks (DOD) of hybrid ducks with a coefficient of variation of less than 10%. The research was designed using a completely randomised design (CRD) consisting of 6 treatments and 4 replicates, each consisting of 8 hybrid ducks. The treatments consisted of T0: control (basal feed), T1: basal feed + zinc bacitracin antibiotic 0.1%, T2: basal feed + herbal pulp Oryza sativa and Kaempferia galanga L 0.25%, T3: basal feed + herbal pulp Oryza sativa and Kaempferia galanga L 0.50%, T4: basal feed + herbal pulp Oryza sativa and Kaempferia galanga L 0.75%, T5: basal feed + herbal pulp Oryza sativa and Kaempferia galanga L 1%. Harvesting was performed on day 35, one duck from each replicate was weighed and slaughtered for evaluation of the percentage of internal organ weight and abdominal fat. The data obtained were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the addition of herbal pulp Oryza sativa and Kaempferia galanga L had no significant effect (T > 0.05) on the eachcentage of internal organ weights and abdominal fat. It can be concluded that the addition of herbal pulp Oryza sativa and Kaempferia galanga L as a feed additive does not affect the increase in the percentage of organ weight and abdominal fat in hybrid ducks.
