PENGARUH BERBAGAI JENIS BAHAN LITTER TERHADAP KUALITAS LITTER BROILER FASE FINISHER DI CLOSED HOUSE
ABSTRACT: The aim of this
research was to 1) determine the effect of the use of rice husk, wood
shavings,rice straw as litter material on litter quality for broiler during the
finisher phase in closed house, 2)determine the best type of litter material on
litter quality for broiler during the finisher phase in closedhouse. The
duration of the research was 26 days. The research was started from 15 April to
10 May2014 in the closed house owned by PT. Rama Jaya Lampung Krawang Sari
Village, the District ofNatar,Southern Lampung regency.This research was
conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three levels
oftreatment and six replications. The treatment levels were the types of litter
material (i.e. rice husk,wood shavings, chopped straw and rice). The samples
were 270 broilers which were divided into 18plots. Therefore, there were 15
broilers in each plot (per square meter). The data were statisticallyanalyzed
using ANOVA with 5% significance level. Duncan test with 5% significance level
wasconducted for further testing should the ANOVA obtained any significant
results.The results showed that(1) the use of rice husk , wood shavings and
rice straw as the litter materials inclosed house showed a significant effect
(P <0.05) on litter moisture content, but not significantly (P>0.05) on
ammonia levels, pH, and litter temperature. (2) The litter materials of rice
husk and rice strawin a closed house improved the litter.
