Evaluasi Penggunaan Tepung Daun Pisang pada Periode Starter untuk Mendapatkan Pertumbuhan Kompensasi Ayam Broiler
Abstract: The purpose of this
experiment was to study the effect of banana leaf meal in diet (0-3 weeks) on
compensatory growth of broiler (3-5 weeks). One hundred and twenty day old
chick were fed one of three different treatment : P1 used 0 % banana leaf meal
from 0-5 weeks (R1), P2 used 5 % banana leaf meal (R2) from 0-3 weeks and
R1diet from 3-5 weeks and P3 used 10 % banana leaf meal (R3) from 0-3 weeks and
R1 diet from 3-5 weeks. Each of experiment diets contained of 2900 kcal/kg
metabolizable energy and 21% crude protein. Completely Randomized Design was
used in this experiment. The results showed that feeding with banana leaf meal
at 0-3 weeks significantly (P < 0.01) reduced feed intake, and body weight
gain (P < 0.05). Recovery periods (3-5 weeks) did not show the compensatory
growth because of significantly reduced (P < 0.05) feed intake and body
weight gain. Conclusion showed that effect of banana leaf meal in diet (0-3
weeks) on compensatory growth of broiler (3-5 weeks) could not maximize final
body weight.
