Abstract
Maggot black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) contains complete nutrients and in a living condition is very favored by ducks. Therefore this study aims to study the giving of live maggots tried in ducks. The study used 60 male alabio ducks placed randomly into 20 cages. The design used is a completely randomized 2x2 factorial design with five replications. The treatment consisted of P1: 10% live maggot supplementation on 16% ration protein, P2: 10% live maggot supplementation on 21% protein ration, P3: 0% live maggot supplementation on 16% ration protein, and P4: 0% live maggot on protein ration 21%. The data obtained were analyzed of variance and Duncan's multiple range test. The results showed that the giving of live BSF maggot had a highly significant effect on the percentage of carcass and weight of carcass cuts, but did not affect the percentage of abdominal fat and the weight of the viscera parts. Ration protein levels of 16% and 21% did not affect the percentage of carcass, weight of abdominal fat, the weight of carcass cuts, and the weight percentage of viscera part of male alabio ducks (Anas platyrhynchos Borneo).
