Bali
Pig is one of germplasm whose existence is very limited until now. This is due
to the very low growth and breeding compared to other types such as Landrace
pigs, Duroc, and Laghwhite. However, Bali pig has an advantage among others
such as able to utilize lack quality feed so it is suitable to maintain in a
rural areas. To keep the existence of Bali pig, a necessary attempt needed to
avoid extinction. One of its ways is to make improved feed by adding turmeric
powder (curcuminoid). The benefits of giving curcuminoid are able to increase
the appetite, increase the utilization of nutrients such as fats, proteins, and
carbohydrates. This research method used a Complete Randomized Design (CRD)
with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were: Treatment A: swine
rations that did not contain turmeric powder (extract curcuminoid), Treatment
B: swine rations contained turmeric powder (extract curcuminoid), 0,02 ml/1
kilogram body weight, Treatment C: swine rations contained turmeric powder
(ekstract curcuminoid 0.04 ml/1 kilogram body weight), and Treatment D: swine
rations contained turmeric powder (ekstract curcuminoid). 0,06 ml/1 kilogram
body weight. Observed variables included consumption, overall weight gain,
daily weight gain, FCR and digestibility. The results showed that the average
consumption and weight gain in treatment curcuminoid 0,04/1 kilogram bodyweight
showed the highest result among the four treatments. Level FCR in 0,04 ml/1
kilogram bodyweight curcuminoid treatmentÂ
showed the most efficient result and the dry matter digestibility showed
significant results (P <0.01). However, organic matter digestibility, crude
fiber and protein digestibility showed a non-significant (P> 0.01) result.
Overall, ration treatment with curcuminoid 0,04 ml/1 kilogram bodyweight showed
the best results
