ABSTRACT
This study aimed to determine the effect of the type and dosage of pellet binder Miana plant (Plectranthus scutellarioides [L]R.Br) on crude fiber digestibility, nitrogen retention, and energy metabolism in broiler chicken. The study used 30 broiler male chickens with an average body weight of 1.5 kg at five weeks of age. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) of a 3x3 factorial pattern which was repeated three times. Factor A (type of pellet binder): A1 (brown seaweed), A2 (taro tuber), and A3 (tapioca flour), then factor B (dosage of pellet binder): B1 (1.5; 3.3; and 4.5%). Crude fiber digestibility, nitrogen retention, and energy metabolism were measured. The results showed no interaction (p>0.05) between the type of pellet binder and dosage of pellet binder on the digestibility of crude fiber, nitrogen retention, and energy metabolism of Miana plant pellets on broiler chicken. The type of pellet binder had a non-significant (p>0.05) effect on crude fiber digestibility, nitrogen retention, and energy metabolism of Miana plant pellets on broilers. However, the dosage of pellet binder had a highly significant impact (p<0.01) on crude fiber digestibility, nitrogen retention, and energy metabolism of Miana plant pellets on broilers. In conclusion, there was no interaction between the type and dosage of pellet binder on crude fiber digestibility, nitrogen retention, and energy metabolism of Miana plant pellets on broiler chicken. The best dosage of Miana plant pellet binder for all types of binder was found at 3.0%, with crude fiber digestibility of 45%, nitrogen retention of 59.92%, and metabolic energy of 1871.21 Kcal/kg.
