Penambahan probiotik ke dalam pakan bandeng dapat meningkatkan efisiensi pakan agar pakan lebih mudah dicerna dan enzim dapat bekerja lebih efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan probiotik terhadap pertumbuhan, efisiensi pakan, tingkat kelulushidupan dan nilai nutrisi ikan bandeng. Bahan yang digunakan adalah ikan bandeng dengan berat rata-rata 102±2,58 g, pakan bandeng komersil dengan kandungan protein 30% dan probiotik dengan komposisi jamur Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus oryzae, bakteri Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis, Rhodopseudomonas, Actinomycetes dan Nitrobacter. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok dengan dua perlakuan dan 5 kali ulangan. Analisis data menggunakan uji t untuk membandingkan budidaya ikan bandeng perlakuan A yaitu tanpa penggunaan probiotik dalam pakan dan perlakuan B yaitu dengan penggunaan probiotik dalam pakan. Hasil uji t menunjukkan penggunaan probiotik pada pakan berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) pada pertumbuhan, efisiensi pakan dan nilai nutrisi namun tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) pada tingkat kelulushidupan ikan bandeng. Penggunaan probiotik pada pakan bandeng memberikan nilai RGR (1.958±0.02%/hari), nilai EPP (78.333±0.745%), kandungan protein (25.794±0.600%) lebih tinggi dan FCR (1.321±0.030) yang lebih baik dari perlakuan tanpa penggunaan probiotik dalam pakan bandeng. Milkfish culture as main raw materia for various processed food needs intensive technology support. Improvement in milkfish nutrition quality is necessary to obtain many raw nutritious materials.The addition of probiotics to milkfish feed is able to improve feed efficiency. Thus, the feed is easier to digest and the enzymes can work more effectively. This study aims to find out the effect of probiotic use on the growth, feed efficiency, survival rate and nutritional value of milkfish. The materials used in thi study were milkfish with an average weight of 102 ± 2.58 g, commercial milkfish feed with 30% protein content and probiotics composed of fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus oryzae, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis, Rhodopseudomonas, Actinomycetes and Nitrobacter. The study was conducted using an experimental method with a randomized block design with two treatments and 5 repetitions. Data analysis was conducted using T test to compare milkfish culture treatment A,i.e. without the use of probiotics in feed and treatment B by using probiotics in feed. The results of the t test showed that the use of probiotics in feed had a significant effect (P <0.05) on growth, feed efficiency and nutritional value but had no significant effect (P> 0.05) on the level of milkfish survival capability. The use of probiotics in milkfish feed resulted in RGR value (1.958 ± 0.02% / day), EPP value (78.333 ± 0.745%),higher protein content (25.794 ± 0.600%)  and FCR (1.321 ± 0.030) which was better than the treatment without the us of probiotics in milkfish feed.

Pertumbuhan yang relatif lama menjadi salah satu kendala dalam komoditas perdagangan khususnya ikan koi. Kebutuhan pakan yang sangat tinggi sangat menjadi masalah bagi para pembudidaya ikan koi. Salah satu cara yang bisa dilakukan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah dengan memberikan hormon tiroksin dan hormon rGH ke dalam makanannya agar dapat memberikan percepatan pertumbuhan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari-Maret 2016 yaitu di Laboratorium Hatchery dan Teknologi Budidaya Perairan Program Studi Budidaya Perairan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Malikussaleh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian hormon tiroksin dan hormon rGH melalui metode oral dengan dosis yang berbeda terhadap pertumbuhan dan kelangsungan hidup benih ikan koi (Cyprinus carpio L). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) non-faktorial dengan empat perlakuan tiga kali ulangan. Hasil penelitian dengan pemberian hormon tiroksin dan hormon rGH dengan dosis yang berbeda tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap pertumbuhan bobot, panjang, kelangsungan hidup dan konversi pakan.  Perlakuan D dengan dosis   T4 25 mg/kg dan hormon rGH 2,5 mg/kg pakan menghasilkan nilai pertumbuhan bobot sebesar 0,60 gr dan panjang 0,54 cm. Nilai kelangsungan hidup pada setiap perlakuan dengan nilai sebesar 100%. Nilai konversi pakan terbaik pada perlakuan D sebesar 1,92. Nilai kisaran kualitas air selama penelitian yaitu suhu 27-28 oC, pH 7.0-7.9, DO 5.9-6.9 ppm dan amonia 0,0359 – 0,1946 ppm.Relatively slow growth becomes one of the obstacles in trading commodities, especially on koi fish. A high feed requirement becomes a problem for the koi fish farmers. One way that can be done to achieve that goal is by giving thyroxin hormone and rGH hormone into its feed in order to deliver a growth acceleration. This research was conducted in February - March 2016 in the Hatchery and Aquaculture Technology Laboratory at the department of Aquaculture, Agriculture Faculty, Malikussaleh University. This research aimed to determine the effect of thyroxin hormone and RGH hormone through oral methods with different doses on the growth and the survival of koi (Cyprinus carpio L). This research used experimental method using completely randomized design (CRD) non-factorial with four treatments of three replications. The results of the research showed that giving different doses of thyroxin hormone and rGH hormone had no significant effect on the growth in weight, length, survival and feed conversion. Treatment D that had a dose of 25 mg / kg T4 and rGH hormone of 2,5 mg / kg in the feed produce the growth in weight of 0.60 gr and length of 0.54 cm. The value of survival in each treatment is 100%. The best-feed conversion value in treatment D is 1.92. Value range of the water quality during the research is at the temperature of 27-28oC, pH of 7.0 - 7.9, DO of 5.9 - 6.9 ppm and ammonia ranges from 0.0359 to 0.1946 ppm.

The performance and carcass analysis of two popular snail species - Archatina marginata (S) and Achatina achatina (L) commonly reared in West Africa were evaluated from day old to six (6) months of age under the same housing and dietary conditions in a complete randomized design with two (2) treatments, replicated thrice with sixty (60) snails per treatment. The study revealed that at day old treatment 1 (T1) had the higher live weight of 4.03g, while treatment 2 (T2) had 0.31g which showed a statistical significant difference at P<0.05. The shell length and shell width of the hatchlings also showed statistical significant difference (P<0.05) between the two treatments. The mean feed intake (g/day) for T1 was 2.89 and 1.96 for T2. Higher mortality (8.33%) was recorded in T2. T2 was also found to be the better converter of feed to edible meat with feed conversion ratio of 7.26 to 72.3 recorded in T1. The higher dressing out percentage (40.14) was recorded in T1. The result showed that snails generally have slow growth. T1 was found to grow faster than T2 hence it is recommended to the populace because it has higher potential to meet animal protein supply than T2. Research on improvement and nutrition of snails should therefore be encouraged.
