PENGARUH KEPADATAN AYAM DIDALAM KANDANG TERHADAP KONSUMSI PAKAN, PERTAMBAHAN BOBOT BADAN, DAN KONVERSI PAKAN PADA AYAM ARAB (Gallus turcicus) JANTAN PERIODE GROWER
Abstract: The purpose on this
research was to find out the effect of chickendensity in the cageonfeed intake,
body weight gain and feed conversion of Arabic chicken for grower phase. The
material used were 50 birds of Arabic chicken attheage of 60 days with average
initial body weight of 743.5 ± 67.28. The variables observed in this study were
the feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion. The method used was
experiment using Completely Randomized Design consist of 4 treatments and 5
replications. The obtained data were analyzed by using ANOVA followed by
Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT).The results of this study showed that there
was no significant different between house density on body weight gain and feed
conversion, but there was avery significantly different (P<0.01) on feed
intake. Based on this study, it can be concluded that the better chickendensity
in the cage for Arabic chicken at grower phase uses 4 birds / 1200 cm2
birds/m2, because it performed better body weight gain and feed conversion. So,
it is suggested that the farmer would likely to use chickendensity in the cage
at 4 birds / 1200 cm2for Arabic chicken of grower phase.
