Pengujian Kombinasi Daya Racun Rodentisida dan Dedak Padi (rice bran) Terhadap Hama Tikus di Laboratorium
Rats are an almost strong pest to remove and are known to cause ruin to crops. Rat damage and attacks can be minimized by using chemical pest control techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of rodenticide active ingredients and rice bran in controlling rat pests. This rodenticide manufacturing technique employs a 0,005 % brodifacum formulation, zinc phospide, and barium cloride as active components. Rice bran, roasted coconut, and anchovies were used as bait. A Randomized Group Design was employed in this investigation, with one component consisting of six treatments that were repeated four times. The Kruskall-Wallis Analysis was used to examine the data, and the Mann-whitney Test was used to compare the two treatments. The results suggested that combining the toxicity of rodenticide active components with rice bran can improve rat pest control. The difference between the control treatment (no bran) and the treatment with rice bran additions can be seen in rat weight, feed consumption percentage, and toxicity symptoms. There was a difference between the control (no rodenticide and rice bran) and the rodenticide and rice bran treatment.Treatments with zinc phospide and rice bran caused Acute toxic symptoms, while treatments with barium chloride and rice bran caused anticoagulant toxic effects.
