Abstract:
The study aimed to explore fermented catfish waste product (FCWP) by microbes L. paracasei, B. subtilis, and S. cerevisiae as a substitute for fishmeal with observations on metabolizable energy and nitrogen retention of the ration. The study used 24 14-week-old Super Native Chickens which were kept for 14 days. The experimental design used was a Complete Random Design with 6 treatments and 4 replicates. The treatments given were: R0 (basal ration, 15% protein and ME 2,750 kcal/kg); R1 (basal ration, containing 5% FCWP); R2 (basal ration, containing 10% FCWP); R3 (basal ration, containing 15% FCWP); R4 (basal ration, containing 20% FCWP); and RS (Ration, 18% protein and ME 2,750 kcal/kg). The results showed that the addition of FCWP by consortium microbes had a real effect (P<0.05) on metabolizable energy and nitrogen retention. The use of FCWP, as much as 10% in the ration formula, provides the highest metabolizable energy and nitrogen retention value in Super Native Chickens.
