Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate the efect of a Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus fermentum mixture (6:4 ratio) in fermented palm kernel meal (FPKM) on the performance of broiler chickens. One hundred day-old broiler chick of the Lohmann strain MB-202 Platinum, were used in this study. The cages used were 20 units of box cages, each measuring 80 x 80 x 60 cm filled with 5 chickens, equipped with places to eat and drink. This study used a complete randomized design (CRD) experimental method with 4 treatments and 5 replications consisting of R1 (control), R2 (25% FPKM with B. subtilis and L. fermentum (6:4)), R3 (30% FPKM with B. subtilis and L. fermentum (6:4)) and R4 (35% FPKM with B. subtilis and L. fermentum (6:4)). Parameters measured were feed consumption, body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion, body weight, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage. The results of the analysis showed that the treatment ration R1, R2, R3 and R4 had a highly significant (P0.05) on feed conversion, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage. In conclusion fermented palm kernel cake with combination of B. subtilis and L. fermentum can be used up to 30% in broiler ration. It can be seen from the feed intake of 815.27 g/chick/week; BWG 470.45 g/chick/week; feed conversion 1.75; body weight 1895.20 g; carcass percentage 76.48% and abdominal fat percentage 1.03%, cholesterol of chicken thigh meat 263.54%, nitrogen retention 59.39%, crude fiber digestibility 56.61% and energy metabolism 2283.95% kcal/kg.
