Abstract :

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using Condensed Molasses Soluble (CMS) on the gut microba, pH and viscosity of hybrid ducks.  One hundred and sixty hybrid ducklings (Day Old Duck) initial body weight 55 grams were randomly divided into 5 treatments with 4 replicates (8 each) in a Completely Randomized Design. The treatments were basal feed without CMS as control treatment (T0), basal feed supplemented with 2.5% CMS (T1), basal feed supplemented with 5% CMS (T2), basal feed supplemented with 7.5% CMS (T3), basal feed supplemented with 10% CMS (T4). Parameters measured were analysis of Lactobacillus sp, and Escherichia coli, pH and viscosity of hybrid ducks. There was a very significant difference (P<0.01) on the microba, with the highes results Lactobacillus sp (200±95,68) Escherichia coli (289±22,00) and pH (6,5±0,58) and viscosity (3,6±0,11) of hybrid duck intestinal digesta. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the use of CMS with a maximum percentage of 7.5% had a positive effect on the health of the intestinal digesta of hybrid ducks due to reduction of the population of pathogenic microba (Escherichia coli).
