The Effect of Local Feed Ingredient on the Performance of Superior Native Chicken and IOFC

The nutrient requirements of native chickens are different from those of broiler chickens, but many breeders use commercial broiler or layer feed for native chickens. This study aims to examine the use of local feed ingredient on the performance of superior native chickens and IOFC. The study used a factorial design 3 x 2 with 5 replicated cages, contained 10 unsexed chickens at 4 weeks old; the first factor was type of chicken, namely the Sensi chicken and the KUB chicken, the second factor was feed treatment. The feed treatments used were (D0) 100% commercial broiler diet as a control, (D1) 50% commercial broiler feed + 15% commercial layer concentrate + 25% rice bran + 10% rejected rice, (D2) 30% commercial layer concentrate + 50% rice bran + 20% rejected rice. Observations were made for 6 weeks, on body weight (BW), feed consumption, BW gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and income over feed cost (IOFC). The results showed that type of chicken had a significant effect on BW, FCR, BW gain and IOFC, while feed treatment had a significant effect on feed consumption, BW gain and FCR. There was no interaction between chicken type and diet on all observations. In this study, it can be concluded that Sensi chickens had higher final BW and BW gain, lower FCR and IOFC than KUB chickens had. P1 feed (50% commercial feed broiler + 15% commercial layer concentrate, 25% rice bran and 10% rejected rice) can replace P0 feed (commercial broiler diet) without affecting final BW, BW gain and IOFC
