Daftar Isi:
- The production of the meat must be balanced with the improvement of meat quality. To have a certain quality of the meat, it is necessary to add supplements to the feed that is useful to produce of meet quality. Feed additives that can be added in feeds are organic acids and probiotics. The aims of this study was to know the effect of organic acid salt and probiotic of silage Hymanachine acutigulma to the physical quality of Pegagan duck’s meat.

The treatments consisted of P0 (feed), P1 (Feed + 0,02% of probiotics), P2 (feed + 0,2% of organic acid salt), P3 (feed + 0,1% of tetracycline), P4 (feed + 0,02% of probiotics + 0,2% of organic acid salt), P5 (feed + 0,02% of probiotics + 0,2% of organic acid salt + 0,1% of tetracycline). The observed variables in this study were pH, water holding capacity, cooking loss and tenderness. The results shown that the addition 0,2% of organic acid salt and 0,02% of probiotics was not able to influence the physical quality of pegagan ducks meat.
