摘要

The performance of chicken is influenced by several factors such as cage floor model and feeding pattem. The purposes of this study were to examine the effect of feeding time restrictions and cage system on the final body weight and mortslity. This study used 48 broilers DOC, mix of male and female, litter cage system from grain/chaff and wire floor cage that was equipped with a feed and drinking places as well as a heater. Feed rations used for the study was a commercial ration for starter period with crumble form. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) pattern of 2 x 2 factorial with three replications and each replication consisted of four chickens. The firs factor is the type of cage floor consisting daily as needed per cow per day (R1) and skip a day (one day to eat a day of fasting). The results showed that ad-libitum feed rations and litter cage model (R1K1), produced the highest body weight (903,3 grams) and showed significant differences in the treatment of rationing skip a day and litter cage model (R2K1) is 0,751 kg(the lowest body weight) but not significantly different from the treatment of rationing skip a day and a wire cage model (0.785 kg) Chicken mortality during the study was 2.08%.
