The Effect of Level Dragon Fruit Peels (Hylocerus Polyrhizus) Fermentation in Against Productivity of Kampung Chicken 2-10 Weeks Old

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of provision dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus polyrhizus) fermented of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the productivity of “kampung” chicken. This study has been held for 12 weeks located in farm of Faculty of Animal Science, Udayana University, Bukit, Jimbaran, Bali. The design used was Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 4 treatments, 5 replications in which each replication consisted of 10 chickens so the total chicken used was 200 tails. The treatments were R1 (dietwithout the use of fermented dragon fruit peels), R2 (diet using fermented dragon fruit peels as much as 5%), R3 (diet using fermented dragon fruit peels as much as 7%) and R4 (diet with used of fermented dragon fruit peels as much as 9%). The variables observed were initial weight, final weight, weight gain, diet consumption, Feed Convertion Ratio (FCR) and percentage of carcass. The data obtained were analyzed by variance (ANOVA), if between the treatments were significantly different (P <0,05) then followed by Duncan's distance test. The results showed that treatment of R1, R2, R3 and R4 showed no significant difference (P>0,05) to variable of initial body weight and diet consumption. While on the final body weight variable, weight gain, Feed Convertion Ratio (FCR) and the percentage of carcass showed significantly different results (P <0,05). From this research, it can be concluded that “kampung” chicken production given diet with dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is fermented up to level 9% take effect to final body weight, weight gain, FCR and carcass percentage, while fermented dragon fruit peels does not affect on initial weight and ration consumption.
