Performance and Income over Feed Cost of Rambon Duck that Given the Ration Containing Gold Snail (Pomaceae canaliculata) and Noni Fruit (Morinda citrifolia L) Flour

Abstract

The golden snail can breed very quickly and could become a pest for the plants especially rice plants. The Gold snails contains to use as duck feed. One of ducks that developed in West Java, is Rambon duck. In the maintenance of ducks, to improve productivity, usually required additional substances in ration. Noni plant which fruit is very nutritious, and contains anti-microbial that increase the productivity of livestock. This study aims to determine the level of gold snails and the Noni Fruits flour in a ration that gave the best Rambon duck performance and IOFC in the Jatigede Reservoir area. The research was done experimental and all data were analyzed statistically with Anava and further test with Duncan Test. The research used 200 DOD of Rambon duck that given 4 ration treatment containing gold snail flour (K) and noni fruit flour (M). The treatments were P1 (R1+0.45% M), P2 (R1+0.60% M), P3 (R2+0.45% M), dan P4 (R2+0.60% M). Parameters measured were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, carcass weight and IOFC. The results showed that P2 treatment (gold Snail 5%+0,60% noni fruit) gave the best Rambon duck performance with the value of IOFC Rp. 11,675.74 each bird
