Technical Evaluation of the Utilization of Moringa Leaf Flour in Substituting Commercial Feed for Pigs
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of commercial complete feed substitution with moringa leaf flour on feed consumption, water consumption, and weight gain in pig farmers. This study is also expected to produce useful scientific information in the development of more economical and sustainable feed formulas for pig farmers. In addition, it can support efforts to diversify quality local feed ingredients to reduce dependence on imported commercial feed. The materials used were 12 male castrated landrace pigs aged 3-5 months with an initial body weight ranging from 38-55 kg, an average of 45.17 (CV = 13.31%). This study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments with each treatment repeated 3 times so that there were 12 experimental units. The treatments were P0: 100% commercial complete feed, P1: 90% commercial complete feed + 10% moringa leaf flour; P2: 85% commercial complete feed + 15% moringa leaf flour; P3: 80% commercial complete feed + 20% moringa leaf flour. The data obtained were tabulated and statistically analyzed using the ANOVA analysis of variance procedure using IBM SPSS 21 software. The results of the study showed that the substitution of commercial complete feed with moringa leaf flour up to 20% had no significant effect (p>0.05) on ration consumption, water consumption and daily weight gain. This study concludes that moringa leaf flour can substitute 20% of commercial complete feed in pig farmers’ pigs.
