Abstract

The public’s need for catfish consumption increases every year. To increase catfish production, good quality feed is needed that meets nutritional needs and stimulates catfish production. Catfish can grow well if their nutritional intake is adequate, especially protein requirements. However, fish need that is high in protein is often difficult to find, so other alternative feeds are needed to meet protein needs. This research was conducted to determine the effect of feeding with a mixture of maggot flour (Hermetia illucens) on the growth of sangkuriang catfish (Clarias gariepinus). This research used an experimental method with a randomized block design consisting of 4 treatments, namely A. 0% maggot flour, B. 70% pellets + 30% maggot flour, C. 60% pellets + 40% maggot flour, and D. 50% pellets + 50% maggot flour. Data were analysed using a one-way ANOVA test. The statistical analysis showed that: 1. feeding maggot flour had a significant effect on the growth catfish (p < 0.05), 2. there is an effect of maggot flour on the length of catfish (p < 0.05). Measuring the protein content in catfish and maggot meat, it was found that the highest average protein content was in the 30% maggot treatment, namely 15.84 mg/mL, while the lowest protein content was in the 50% maggot treatment with an average protein content of 12.54 mg/mL. From the result of this research, it was alson found that the average protein content in maggots was 60.38 mg/mL, which was far above catfish protein.
