Protein Efficiency Ratio of Broiler Chicken Given Microencapsulated Fermented Pangasius Waste Extract Added Feed

Abstract

Organic waste such as fish waste can be an innovative ingredient that improve the performances of broiler chickens. This research aims to analyze how microencapsulated fermented pangasius waste extract (MFPWE) affects protein efficiency ratio. This research used the experimental method in the form of Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications to obtain 20 units. Each unit was placed with 4 chickens. The treatments given consisted of P0: control group, P1: 99,5% control ration + 0,5% MFWPE, P2: 99% control ration + 1% MFPWE, P3: 98,5% control ratio + 1,5% MFPWE, P4: 98 % control ration + 2% MFPWE. The obtained data were analyzed applying One Way ANOVA and the difference of each treatment were proved by using Least Significant Difference (LSD). The results showed that MFPWE added feed significantly affected (P<0,05) the feed intake, protein intake, and body weight gain, but not significantly affected (P>0,05) the protein efficiency ratio. The highest values of each variable were feed intake 2634,88 ± 110,04 g/head; protein intake 802,20 ± 33,5 g/head; and body weight gain 1485,28 ± 70,84 g/head The broilers fed with MFPWE 2% resulted the most optimal value of feed intake, protein intake and body weight gain. In conclusion, the use of microencapsulated fermented pangasius waste extract can optimize the feed intake, protein intake, and body weight gain of broiler chickens.
