The effect of palm kernel cake fermentation with Sclerotium rolfsii by adding humic acid in broiler diets

摘要

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of palm kernel cake fermentation (PKCF) with Sclerotium roflsii by adding humic acid as broiler diet on the performance of broiler. Two hundred DOC of broiler were used in this experiment and randomly assigned to five treatments (0%, 17%, 22%, 27%, 32% palm kernel cake fermented in diets) in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications. The diets were formulated in iso protein 22% and iso caloric 3000 kcal/kg ration. The parameters of this study were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, body weight, carcass percentage of broiler. The result of this study showed that feed consumption, body weight gained, feed conversion, body weight, carcass percentage were not significantly affected (P0.05) by any treatment. In conclusion the palm kernel cake fermented (PKCF) by Sclerotium roflsii can be used up to 32% in broiler diets.
