Abstract
Good broiler performances require adequate feed and suitable feeding management. Papaya leave contains vitamin C 140 mg, vitamin E 136 mg, vitamin B1 0.15 mg, fat 2.0 mg, calcium 35.3 gram, phospor 63 mg and iron 0.80 mg as well as some enzymes such as chymopapain, papain and lipase wich able to degrade complex bond then increase the efficiency of nutrient digestibility and utilization in ratio. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of inclusion of papaya leaf flour at pellet ration on broiler performance including feed consumption, body weight gain and feed convertion ratio. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were T1: 0% Papaya leaf flour in ration formulation, T2: 3% Papaya leave meals in ration formulation, T3: 6% Papaya leave meals in ration formulation and T4: 9% Papaya leave meals in ration formulation. The result showed that there was a significant effect (P<0.05) of treatment on feed consumption, but not sigificant (P>0.05) on body weight gain and feed convertion ratio. The result suggest that the inclusion of papaya leave mealsr up to 9% into pellet ration may not alter broiler performance.
