Abstract

This research was conducted at The Animal Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, SumateraUtara University from December 2015 to March 2016. This research aimed to determine the ability of cassapro to substitute corn in feed on the performances of kampung chicken. Experimental design used in this research was completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Each treatment consisted of comparison between corn and cassapro at ratio 60:0 (P0), 50:10 (P1), 40:20 (P2), 30:30 (P3), 20:40 (P4). 100 kampung chickens was used in this research with replications consists of 5 DOC. The results showed that the average of feed consumption (g/head/week) on treatment P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 respectively 327,9; 327,3; 326,93; 325,77 and 326,33. The average of body weight gain (g/head/week) on treatment P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 respectively 56,46; 59,47; 60,79; 56,44 and 56,74 also the FCR on treatment P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 respectively 5,82; 5,52; 5,38; 5,79 and 5,7. The anova result showed that there is no difference from treatments on tested parameters. The conclution of this research is that cassapro have the ability to substitute corn in kampung chicken’s feed.

Highlights

The use of maize as the main ingredient in the composition of feed on poultry, causing the potential of other ingredients raw material decline
Corn is a feed ingredient that is still imported from other cornproducing countries due to the need for corn in Indonesia is still not met by local farmers, so the price of maize becomes relatively high
The use of corn is still not maximized in terms of quality because the storage of corn is not durable, so it can cause food to be quickly damaged as a result of Aflatoxin contained in corn

Summary

Introduction

The use of maize as the main ingredient in the composition of feed on poultry, causing the potential of other ingredients raw material decline. The use of Cassapro (cassava protein) or cassava that has been fermented to increase its protein has the potential to substitute corn in poultry rations. The variables observed were ration consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion.
