Performans Ayam Broiler Yang Diberi Ransum Mengandung Rumput Laut Gracilaria Verrucosa Terfermentasi (a Performance Broilers Were Given Rations of Fermented Containing Seaweed Gracilaria Verrucosa)

The experiment was to determine the effect of fermented seaweed (Gracilaria verrucosa) meal in the diet on broiler performance art. The experiment was conducted in November-December 2013 at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Agriculture Diponegoro University, Semarang. The material used is 150 broiler chickens males and females aged 7 days with an average body weight of 163.38 ± 24.67 g (CV 3.04). Research using completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 6 replicates of each experimental unit filled 5 broiler chickens. Feed treatment applied is T0 (use 0% seaweed meal), T1 (use 5% seaweed meal), T2 (use 5% meal fermented seaweed), T3 (7.5% use meal fermented seaweed), T4 (use 10% meal fermented seaweed). Feeding adlibitum administered and controlled. Parameters observed in this study include: weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion. Data were analyzed using a variety of testing and continued F Duncan test if the effect of treatment. The results showed that the treatment had no significant effect (P> 0.05) on feed consumtion, body weight gain and feed conversion. Conclusion that the use of meal seaweed (Gracilaria verrucosa) fermented can be used in broiler rations up to 10%
