THE EFFECT OF ADDING WORM FLOUR TO FORMULA FEED TO THE GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF RICE FIELD (Monopterus albus) EEL MAINTAINED IN MEDIA WITHOUT MUD.
ABSTRACT
This purpose is to know the effect of addition of flour worn on feed formulas that from paste growth and survival of paddy field eel. This recearsch was countected for 100 days, at eel house, meohai RT. 34, Village District of poasia kendari, southeast Sulawesi the research container uses 12 wells of rings with a diameter of 90 cm (area of 0635R m2). Feeding every there days with a dose of 15% of body weight. This study used Completely Randomized Design (RAL) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 reflication. Treatment A (4% Flour Worm in formula feed Treatment B (8% Worm Flour in formula feed) Treatment of Flour in Formulated feed) Treatment C (12% Worm Flour in formula feed) and Treatment D (16% Worm Flour in formula feed) The results showed that the test feed did not give a significantly different effect Specific Growth, feed Conversion Ratio and Survival Rate. The highest absolute growt was in treatment D (19,67 g), C (17,00 g), B (15,00 g), and A (13,33 g). The highest feed was in treatment A (137,56), B (108,21), C (96,13), and D (84,07). The survival rate obtained in all treatments in this study was 100%. This study concludes that Flour Feeding on feed formula has no significant effect on absolute growth, specific growth rate and conversion ratio of paddy eel feed.
