Giving of concentrate based on fermented chicken livestock waste and its effect on carcase characteristics and microbial profile of landrace pork meat (LD muscle)

Abstract

This study was to determine the effect of concentrates based on fermented chicken farm waste (CCFW) on carcass characteristics and microbial profiles in crossbreed landrace pigs.The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments and four replications (3 x 4). The treatments were, A: using 0% CCFW + 24% CP-152 concentrate, B: 12% CCFW + 12% CP_152 concentrate and C: 24% CCFW + 0% CP-152 concentrate. The study used 12 finisher phase pigs with an average body weight of 63.42 ± 2.39 kg. The research parameters were carcass characteristics (SW, CW, %CC, LCC, REA), and microbial profiles in meat (TPC, Coliform, and E.coli) of landrace pigs.The results of the study were that in treatment groups A and B, almost the same results were obtained for all carcass characteristic parameters (P>0.05). By giving 24% CCFW (C) the carcass characteristic values ​​were significantly lower than the control (P<0.05). The use of commercial concentrates of 12%-24% CCFW did not change the microbial profile of pork landrace pig (P>0.05)
