Effect of Microbial Fermented Water in Drinking Water on Growth Performance and Carcass Quality in Hybrid Breeds
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the production performance and carcass quality in hybrid breeds that received different amounts of microbial fermentation mixed with drinking water. This research was conducted using a Completely Randomize Design (CRD) using hybrid breeds (Rhode Island Red x Thai Bar Chicken), male, 1-day-old with 5 treatments and 4 replications with 10 chickens each, so in total of 200 chickens. Treatments 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were mixed with 0% microbial fermented water (control group), 0.40%, 0.20%, 0.13%, and 0.10% respectively. The results showed that the effects of growth performance on live weight, weight gain, average daily gain, total feed intake and feed conversion ratio were better than those of the control group (P>0.05). The composition of the carcass breast meat percentage, calf percentage, tenderloin percentage and percentage of total organ meats were better than the control group. Percentage of wings, treatment 2, it had the greatest value, that equal to 13.09 percent (P<0.05). The highest carcass percentage in treatment 5 was 77.06 percent (P<0.05), the highest percentage of thigh in treatment 1, equal to 14.38 percent (P<0.01). Regarding carcass quality, there was no difference in pH values at 0 and 24 hours. The color values L* and b* were higher (P>0.05) and the color value a* in treatment 4 has a higher value (P<0.01).Therefore, the addition of fermented microorganisms mixed with drinking water affects production performance and the carcass quality of hybrid breeds. It will not affect growth or have a negative impact on animals.
