Abstrak
A 56-day feeding trial involving 144, 8-week old female native chickens was carried out in a completely randomized design to evaluate the performance and cacrcass of native chickens fed fermentation cassava (Manihot esculenta) leaf meal at dietary levels of 0%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. Feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and carcass weight of birds on (5%) and (10%) fermented leaf meals were significantly superior (P<0.05) to the group on the control (0% fermented leaf meal). The abdominal fat were decreased at 5 and 10% (P<0.05) groups of the fermented cassava leaf meal. It is suggested that 5 to 10% inclusion of fermented cassava leaf meal by probiotic Saccharomyces sp. could be used in native chicken diets without any deleterious effects.
