To maintain growth and survival, Asian redtail catfish postlarvae require silkworms as live food. However, due to their extreme sensitivity to natural conditions, silkworms will be exceedingly scarce during the rainy season. This study aimed to evaluate fermented commercial feed enriched with curcumin as a replacement of silkworms for the growth and survival of redtail catfish postlarvae. This study employed a complete design experiment consisting of six treatments. The Asian red tail catfish postlarvae were cultivated at a density of 5 fish/L. Fish were raised for a period of thirty days. Growth in total weight, total length, specific weight rate, specific length rate, and survival rate of postlarvae were the parameters measured. The growth evaluation results indicate that substituting silkworm feed with fermented feed supplemented with curcumin at a concentration of 1.05 g/kg resulted in growth of 6.66% (length) and 14.29% (weight) lower than the silkworm treatment. Despite this decline, it represents the most effective outcome in this study, highlighting the potential of fermented feed where enrichment with curcumin as an alternative to silkworms for Asian redtail catfish larvae nutrition. In conclusion, curcumin-enriched fermented feed can promote the growth of Asian redtail catfish postlarvae.

The study concludes that fermented feed supplemented with curcumin at a concentration of 1.05 g/kg can effectively promote the growth of Asian redtail catfish postlarvae, although it results in a slight reduction in growth compared to silkworm feed.This finding highlights the potential of curcumin-enriched fermented feed as a viable alternative to silkworms for larval nutrition.Further research is needed to optimize curcumin enrichment levels for optimal growth performance.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat diajukan untuk memperdalam pemahaman mengenai potensi pakan fermentasi yang diperkaya kurkumin sebagai alternatif pengganti cacing sutera pada budidaya ikan baung. Pertama, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menentukan dosis optimal kurkumin dalam pakan fermentasi, dengan mempertimbangkan respons pertumbuhan dan kesehatan ikan pada berbagai tingkat penambahan kurkumin. Kedua, studi komparatif perlu dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas pakan fermentasi yang diperkaya kurkumin dibandingkan dengan jenis pakan alternatif lainnya, seperti larva serangga atau pakan buatan dengan formulasi protein yang berbeda. Ketiga, penelitian mengenai mekanisme aksi kurkumin dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan daya tahan tubuh ikan baung perlu dilakukan, termasuk analisis ekspresi gen terkait sistem imun dan metabolisme nutrisi. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi yang lebih komprehensif dan mendalam mengenai potensi pakan fermentasi yang diperkaya kurkumin dalam mendukung keberlanjutan budidaya ikan baung.
