Pengaruh Penggunaan Monosodium Glutamat Dalam Pakan Terhadap Kondisi Hati Benih Ikan Baung (Hemibagrus Nemurus)
Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus) is a cultivated commodity that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. One of the cultivation systems used is without water replacement during the rearing period. This condition can cause ammonia from leftover feed and feces to increase in the rearing container. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of adding monosodium glutamate (MSG) on the liver performance of Asian redtail catfish fry. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of five treatments, namely P0 as control (0.0 g MSG), P1 (0.5 g MSG), P2 (1.0 g MSG), P3 (1.5 g MSG), and P4 (2.0 g) with three replications. The test fish used were Asian redtail catfish with container was an aquarium measuring 60x30x40. Each aquarium was filled with 20 asian redtail catfish. and maintained in condition without water changes for 50 days. The test fish were fed three times a day ad satiation at 08:00, 13:00, and 18:00 WIB for 50 days. The results show that abnormal colored fish liver (pale colored) was found to have a higher fat content of (5.2%) while normal fish liver (red colored) was (3.76%). The percent of red liver in the control (46.67%) was lower than the MSG treatment group (50 – 76.67%). Furthermore, the hepatosomatic index (HSI) value of P4 was 2.15 better than the other treatment. In conclusion, the result of this study indicate that the addition of MSG to feed can improve the liver condition of Asian redtail catfish seed because it produce changes in liver tissue color, lower liver fat content, and lower HIS values.
