| Abstract |
The research herein aimed to compare the supplementation of Fermented Pineapple Peel Meal (FPPM) at different levels in broiler diets. A total of 400 male broiler finishers (Cobb-500 from 38-week ages breeder) were used in this experiment, divided into four treatment groups, and kept for four weeks. The FPPM was then incorporated into the experimental diets treatment at; T1 = Commercial feed + 0% FPPM; T2 = Commercial feed + 5% FPPM; T3 = Commercial feed + 10% FPPM; T4 = Commercial feed + 15% FPPM. The study was conducted in a completely random design (CRD), and the treatments were replicated four times each. Parameters were evaluated: feed intake, Initial weight, final weight, average daily gain (ADG), body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and IOFCC. Data were analyzed by Analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Duncan's Multiple Range Test tested the significant effect. The results showed no significant differences (P>0.05) in the initial weight and ADG starter; Offered FPPM in a diet to the chickens significantly (P<0.05) increased feed intake; but showed highly significant differences (P<0.01) in the final weight, ADG finisher, BWG, FCR, and IOFCC. We may, therefore, conclude that FPPM might be mixed up to 5% without any significant adverse effects on growth performance and improved 5.85% of IOFCC. However, 15% of FPPM showed the highest IOFCC and increased economic benefits return in any sales type compared to the control diet treatment. |
