THE ADDITION OF DIFFERENT DOSES OF PAPAYA SAP (Carica papaya) ON PELLET FEED FOR CARP (Cyprinus carpio) GROWTH AND SURVIVAL RATE

Abstract

The aims of this research is to know the effect of the addition of the  papaya sap feed on growth, feed efficiency, digestibility and the survival rate of a carp. This study used a randomized complete design (RAL) with 4  treatments:without the addition of sap (P0), the addition of sap 1% (P1), the addition of sap 2% (P2), the addition of sap 2.5% (P3), the addition of sap 3% (P4) from the given feed weights. The data  were analyzed using ANOVA with the significance level of 5%. The results showed that the addition of the sap feed on papaya was  not provide  significant effects on  the growth, digestibility, feed efficiency, viability of carp. However, absolute weight growth, feed efficiency, and total digestibility of carp fed with 1% addition of papaya sap gave a value that tended to be higher compared to other treatments.
