<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan tepung limbah rumput laut terhadap produksi karkas burung puyuh jantan. Materi yang digunakan adalah puyuh jantan (Coturnix coturnix japonica) 160 ekor umur 6 minggu dengan rata – rata bobot badan 120,92 ± 0,48 g. Ransum tersusun dari jagung kuning, bekatul, bungkil kedelai, tepung ikan, PMM, premix, minyak kelapa, tepung limbah rumput laut. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan 5 ulangan, T0: Ransum 0% limbah rumput laut; T1: Ransum 5% limbah rumput laut ; T2: Ransum 7,5% limbah rumput laut; T3: Ransum 10% limbah rumput laut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan berpengaruh (P<0,05) terhadap bobot badan akhir dan bobot karkas tetapi tidak berpengaruh (P>0,05) terhadap persentase karkas. Simpulan penelitian adalah penggunaan tepung limbah rumput laut diatas 5% menurunkan bobot badan akhir dan bobot karkas.Kata Kunci : Puyuh jantan; limbah rumput laut; produksi karkas.ABSTRACTThis study aimed to determine the effect seaweed by product powder for the carcass production of male quail. The material used is a male quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica 160 head age of 6 weeks with an average body weight of 120.92 ± 0.48 g. Ration composed of yellow corn, rice bran, soybean meal, fish meal, PMM, premix, coconut oil, seaweed by product powder.This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments 5 replications, T0: feed 0% seaweed by product; T1: feed 5% seaweed by product; T2: feed 7.5% seaweed by product; T3: feed 10% seaweed by product. The results showed that treatment significantly (P<0.05) to the final body weight and carcass weight but no significant (P> 0.05) on carcass percentage. The conclusions of this research is the used of seaweed by product powder above 5% decreased final body weight and carcass weight.Key words : male quail; seaweed by product; carcass production.]]>
