Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate the efect of replacing commercial broiler feed with a crumble-formulated mixture of cassava peel-leaf fermented with Rhizopus oligosporus on the performance of broiler chickens. A total of 160 day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments with four replications each, using a completely randomized design. The treatments consisted of varying replacement levels of commercial feed with the fermented cassava peel-leaf mixture: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Birds were housed in 20 cages measuring 80 × 80 × 60 cm, with each cage containing eight birds and equipped with feeding and drinking facilities and a 60-watt incandescent lamp for heating. Parameters measured included feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), final body weight, carcass percentage, abdominal fat percentage, protein intake, nitrogen retention, crude fiber digestibility, and cholesterol content of thigh meat. The results showed that the replacement of commercial feed with the fermented cassava peel-leaf mixture had no significant efect (P > 0.05) on feed intake, body weight gain, final body weight, carcass percentage, abdominal fat percentage, protein consumption, nitrogen retention, or crude fiber digestibility. However, cholesterol content in thigh meat was significantly afected (P < 0.01). At the highest replacement level (100%), the broilers exhibited a feed intake of 744.00 g, body weight gain of 382.53 g, FCR of 1.94, final live weight of 1,683.25 g per bird, carcass percentage of 75.81%, abdominal fat percentage of 0.58%, protein consumption of 23.44 g per bird per day, nitrogen retention of 60.06%, crude fiber digestibility of 55.02%, and thigh meat cholesterol level of 78.7 mg per 100 g. These findings indicate that the fermented cassava peel-leaf mixture in crumble form can replace up to 100% of commercial broiler feed without negatively afecting growth performance or physiological parameters.
