POTENSI PENGGUNAAN ACEPROMAZINE SEBAGAI SEDIAAN TRANSQUILIZER PADA TRANSPORTASI IKAN PATIN
Abstract: This study was
designed to assess the potential of acepromazine (ACP) asa transquilizer in
catfish (Pangasius pangasius) during transportation withdifferent timed of
administration (morning and afternoon). This research wasconducted by using
method of dipping the fish into water mixed withacepromazine. Fish tha used for
the study were 3 weeks old catfish, which have 5cm-body length and the body
weight around 6 grams. Six hundred catfish weredivided into a completely
randomized design with a 2x6 factorial arrangement.The first factor was dipping
time that consisted of two levels, morning andafternoon. The second factor was
dosage of acepromazine that consisted of sixlevels, 0 ppm, 5 ppm, 15 ppm, 25
ppm, 35 ppm, and 45 ppm. The result showedthat the effective dose of
acepromazine being used in catfish was 25 ppm with adipping time in the
morning. The onset of this dosage was 96.55 minutes, theduration length was 81.76
minutes, and the mortality rate was equal to 10%.
