ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the use of papaya leaf juice (PLJ) to increase growth and carcass of bali ducks. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications so that there were 20 units with 10 male Bali ducks with homogeneous body weight (46.04 ± 2.21 g). The four treatments were PLJ levels in drinking water, namely: 0%; 2%; 4%; and 6%, as treatment P0, P1, P2; and P3, respectively. The results showed that the growth performance of ducks given papaya leaf juice through drinking water at a level of 2-6% did not show any significant difference (P?0.05). However, the inclusion of papaya leaf juice in drinking water significantly (P?0.05) increased the percentage of carcass breasts meat. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the inclusion of papaya leaf juice at a level of 2-6% in drinking water can increase the percentage of carcass breast meat in Bali ducks.
