Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pencahyaan warna merah, lama pencahayaan dan interaksi antara cahaya warna merah dengan lama pencahayaan terhadap konsumsi pakan, pertambahan berat badan harian dan konversi pakan ternak kelinci flemish jantan. Penelitian menggunakan 16 ekor kelinci Flemish jantan umur 3 bulan. Kelinci dipelihara di kandang individu selama 4 minggu. Data dianalisis dengan rancangan acak lengkap (Completely Randomized Design) pola faktorial dengan dua faktor (fixed model). Rata-rata konsumsi pakan kelinci dengan perlakuan pencahayaan warna merah selama 12 jam, 24 jam, pencahayaan warna putih (normal) selama 12 jam dan 24 jam berturut-turut yaitu 47,25g/ekor/hari; 47,76g/ekor/hari; 47,04g/ekor/hari dan 46,97g/ekor/hari. Rata-rata pertambahan berat badan harian kelinci dengan perlakuan pencahayaan warna merah selama 12 jam, 24 jam, pencahayaan warna putih (normal) selama 12 jam dan 24 jam berturut-turut yaitu 19,80g/ekor/hari; 18,91g/ekor/hari; 18,63g/ekor/hari dan 18,89g/ekor/hari. Rata-rata konversi pakan kelinci dengan perlakuan pencahayaan warna merah selama 12 jam, 24 jam, pencahayaan warna putih (normal) selama 12 jam dan 24 jam berturut-turut yaitu 2,3; 2,52; 2,52 dan 2,49. Interaksi antara lama pencahayaan dan cahaya warna merah tidak dapat meningkatkan konsumsi pakan tetapi dapat meningkatkan pertambahan berat badan harian dan konversi pakan. Disimpulkan bahwa pencahayaan warna merah tidak dapat meningkatkan konsumsi pakan dan konversi pakan, tetapi dapat meningkatkan pertambahan berat badan harian. Lama pencahayaan tidak dapat meningkatkan konsumsi pakan, pertambahan berat badan harian dan konversi pakan.

This research was conducted to observe the effect of red lighting, lenght of lighting time and interaction between red light with a lenght of lighting time on feed intake, daily weight gain and feed conversion of bucks Flemish. This research used 16 bucks Flemish aged 3 months. Rabbits kept in individual cages for 4 weeks. Data were analyzed with a completely randomized design factorial with two factors (fixed model). Average feed consumption of rabbits with red light treatment for 12 hours, 24 hours, lighting white color (normal) for 12 hours and 24 hours were 47.25 g/head/day; 47.76 g/head/day; 47.04 g/head/day and 46.97 g/head/day respectively. Average daily weight gain of rabbits with red light treatment for 12 hours, 24 hours, lighting white color (normal) for 12 hours and 24 hours were 19.80 g/head/day; 18.91 g/head/day; 18.63 g/head/day and 18.89 g/head/day respectively. Average feed conversion of rabbits with red light treatment for 12 hours, 24 hours, lighting white color (normal) for 12 hours and 24 hours were 2.39; 2.52; 2.52 and 2.49 respectively. The interaction between the old lighting and red light can not increase feed intake but can increase the daily weight gain and feed conversion. It can be concluded that red light can not improve feed intake and feed conversion, but it can increase the daily weight gain. Older lighting could not improve feed intake, daily weight gain and feed conversion.
