Effect of fermented peanuts shells in ration on productive performance of super local chicken aged 7 to 10 weeks

Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to understand the effect of the use of fermented peanuts shells in feed on the productive performance of super local chicken aged 7 to 10 weeks. This research used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and 4 replications. Treatments were P0 = ration without fermented peanuts shelled, P1 = ration containing 2% of fermented peanut shells, P2 = ration containing 4% of fermented peanuts shells, and P3 = ration containing 6% of fermented peanut shells. Each experimental unit consisted of 5 super-local chicken. The parameters measured were feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion. Data were analyzed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) according to CRD and if there were differences between treatments then it will be tested by using the Duncan test. The results indicated that the using of fermented peanuts shells in feed has no significant effect (P>0.05) on feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion of super local chicken. Based on the results of this study, it could be stated that fermented peanuts shells can be used up to 6% in feed to substitute rice bran.
