Ni Gusti Ayu Mulyantini — 2025-07-04

The aims of study were to analyze if there is a difference in growth performance of two different strain fed commercial diet with either ad libitum or restricted methods. Two hundred sixteen (216) broiler chicks were allocated to 6 treatments with 6 replicates of 6 chicks/replicate. The experiment used a factorial design 2x3 with 2 strains, and 3 feeding methods, as follows: 1) ad libitum defined in Cobb 500 guidelines as control, 2) quantity restriction (45% of the daily ad libitum consumption), 3) time restriction (standard feed offered for 10h/d). Chicks were exposed to feed restriction from 8-14d. Then, the chickens were fed ad libitum until 35 days of age. The results show that feed restriction significantly (P<0.05) improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) and reduced abdominal fat. Growth performance of broiler fed ad libitum and quantity restriction were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of time restriction feeding. The growth performance and carcass of strain A were not significantly (P>0.05) different from that of strain B. In conclusion, ad libitum and quantity restriction provide greater growth performance and carcass, but implementing time feed restriction could be a useful for improving FCR and reducing abdominal fat in broiler strains

The data obtained were analyzed and tabulated which were presented in the form of qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the study showed that the base areas for buffalo livestock development were in five villages, namely Teladas Village, Sungai Baung Village, Pulau Lebar Village, Lubuk Mas Village and Lesung Batu Muda Village. Buffalo farmers in Rawas Ulu District have sufficient motivation (score 35.2%) and have very poor behavior (knowledge 20.0%, attitude 30.4% and skills 14.5%. The results of the problem analysis contain two factors, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors consist of side businesses, human resources, and low-quality feed, while external factors consist of slow animal health services and many land conversions. Alternative solutions to internal problems include increasing business scale, increasing knowledge and skills in animal husbandry and planting superior forage, while solutions to external problems include adding manpower and animal health facilities and creating regulations for a system of rules and policies for buffalo livestock development areas.
