The Effect of Fermented Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Addition in Feed on Performance and Digestive Tract Characteristics of Native Chicken

Abstract

Enhancement amount population and level production native chicken superior need offset with enhancement availability feed For rapid growth and productivity  tall needed enough feed contain substance food needed, good  in a manner quality nor quantity. Black soldier fly (BSF) maggot flour is one of the feed ingredients that is quite good as a potential raw material for poultry feed, because it contains quite high maggot protein, namely 40-50%. The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments applied were P0 (100% commercial feed); P1 (100% basal feed); P2 (85% basal feed + 15% BSF fermented); P3 (80% basal feed + 20% BSF fermented), and P4 (75% basal feed + 25% BSF fermented). The Research results show that treatment combination of basal feed with the addition of BSF fermentation influential real (P<0.05) to percentage combination treatment of basal feed with the addition of BSF fermentation, increase body weight, conversion feed and no influential real to drinking water consumption, small intestine morphometric and small intestine histology native chicken. This study concludes that the addition of BSF fermented in the feed up to 20% level able to improve the performance of native chickens in the starter phase.
