Penggunaan Tepung Daun Indigofera (Indigofera zollingeriana) dalam Pakan terhadap Performan Ayam Broiler
Abstract
Indigofera zollingeriana is one type of leguminosae that has great potential to be used as an alternative feed as an alternative source of protein in the development of livestock production. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of Indigofera Zollengeriana leaf flour in feed on the performance of broiler chickens. This study was conducted in Yoka Village, Heram District, Jayapura City, Papua Province. The material used in the study was 50 DOC strain Cobb. This study was conducted experimentally using a comparative technique method between two different treatment groups, namely P1 = 25 chickens given 100% complete feed without indigofera flour and P2 = 25 chickens given 95% complete feed + 5% Indigofera leaf flour. The variables measured in this study included feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion of broiler chickens. The results showed that the use of 5% Indigofera leaf flour can provide a significant difference (P <0.05) on feed consumption of 2206 grams/head, can increase body weight gain by 1211 grams/head, and reduce the feed conversion value by 1.87. The use of 5% indigofera flour in broiler chicken feed affects feed consumption, high body weight gain and low feed conversion value. The use of 5% indigofera leaf flour can be applied to broiler chickens.
