Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the eff ect of substitution of fish meal with chicken viscera in the ration on cholesterol, LDL and HDL content in blood and meat of pig. Fift een pigs crossbred of Spotted Poland Chinese and Chaster White at 10-week-old with live weight of between 15 and 23kg, put in individual cages. Th e treatments were substitutions of fi sh meal with chicken viscera meal as follows R0=fi sh meal 10%+0% chicken viscera (control); R1=5% fi sh meal+chicken viscera 5% and R2=fi sh meal 0%+10% chicken viscera. Treatment was given to 5 groups of pigs with diff erent body weight each B1=16.00kg; B2=18.10kg; B3=20.25kg; B4=22.50kg and B5=24.10kg. The experimental design used was Randomized Block Design. Th e variables measured were total cholesterol content, LDL content, HDL content in blood and cholesterol in pig meat. The results showed that the total cholesterol content was signifi cant (P<0.05) lower in the treatment of R2 compared with the treatment of R0 and R1 which both were not signifi cantly diff erent. The LDL content was significant (P<0.05) lower at the treatment of R2 compared with R0 and R1 while the latter two were not signifi cantly diff erent. While the HDL content in the treatment of R2 was significant (P<0.05) higher than the treatment of R0 and R1, followed by the decrease of cholesterol content in meat. Based on this result, it can be concluded that at 10% chicken viscera in pig ration could be improved the quality of meat of pork in terms of cholesterol content to ensure human food safety.
