The utilization of cassava by-products as complete feed on physical and chemical meat quality of weaning male crossbred Landrace pigs

The objective of this research is utilization of cassava by-products as complete ration on physical and chemical meat quality of weaning male of crossbred Landrace pigs. This research was conducted at Desa Rumah Mbacang Pancur Batu from April to June 2019. The research used completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 2 replications. The treatments compose of P0 (without cassava by-products), P1 (with 20% cassava by-products), P2 (with 40% cassava by-products) and P3 (with 60% cassava by-products). The variables were observed consist of physical quality (pH value, water holding capacity, cooking loss and color) and chemical quality (water content, fat content and protein content). The results showed that the best pH value on P1 (5.00), the best water holding capacity on P1 (51.32%), best cooking loss on P1 (44.99%), the best color on P1 (1.50), the best water content on P1 (78.11%), the best fat content on P1 (3.84%) and the best protein content on P1 (21.72%). It was concluded that the use of cassava by-products in complete feed for pigs should not exceed 20%.
