Abstract:
The natural reproductive cycle of swamp water fish, one of which is papuyu fish, becomes
unproductive when entering the dry season because there is a total catch in the “wells” or “beje”
simultaneously and without realizing it, these papuyu fish are 90% gonad ripe. This research was
conducted with the aim of assessing the performance of ?-glucan and vitamin E in improving the
reproductive quality of papuyu fish (Anabas testudineus Bloch). The maintenance of papuyu
broodfish was carried out for 20 days with commercial feed mixed with 10 ml / kg of ?-glucan
and Vitamin E 150 mg / kg of feed for treatment (A) and commercial feed for treatment (B)
Feeding twice a day in the morning 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. with a dose of 5% of the body
weight of the fish. The method used in this study was the comparative analysis method using the
T test. The results showed that the addition of ?-Glucan and vitamin E mixed in the feed had a
significant effect on the percentage of somatic gonado index (IGS), but had no significant effect
on the hepato index. somatic (IHS). |
