Abstract. The study was conducted to determine the effect of pineapple waste meal fermented by "ragi tape" (FPW) in diets on the performance and carcass quality of broilers. The "ragi tape" was a traditional commercial product of yeast. Five dietary treatments containing 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% levels of FPW with four replicates were fed to 250 broiler chickens for 42 days in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. The variables were performance parameters and carcass quality. Results showed that the performance in finisher, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage were significantly affected by dietary treatments. Carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage were significantly decrease in the proportion of 20% of FPW. However, the carcass percentage in treatments R0 -R4 were still in a good category. The higher the levels of FPW the lower the abdominal fat percentage signed that FPW treatments up to 20% resulted good category of broiler carcass. Income over feed cost and broiler cost analysis in 20% FPW treatment obtained the highest income and the lowest was 0% FPW treatment. It can be concluded that FPW can be fed to broiler chickens at up to 20% level.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh level daun pisang (Musa paradisiaca) yang difermentasi dengan Trichoderma viride dalam beberapa masa inkubasi terhadap karkas ayam pedaging. Sebanyak 180 ekor ayam broiler umur 3 minggu digunakan dalam penelitian yang didesain berdasarkan Rancangan Acak Lengkap pola Faktorial (3×4). Ayam broiler dialokasikan secara acak ke dalam tiga ransum perlakuan yang mengandung 5, 10 dan 15% tepung daun pisang yang diinkubasi selama 0, 5, 10 dan 15 hari. Setiap perlakuan diulang tiga kali dan setiap unit percobaan terdiri dari lima ekor ayam. Penelitian dilaksanakan selam empat minggu, dan peubah yang diukur adalah konsumsi pakan, pertambahan berat badan, efisiensi penggunaan pakan dan produksi karkas. Semua data yang diperoleh dianalisis keragamannya dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Beda Nyata Terkecil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan kombinasi level daun pisang dan lama inkubasi berpengaruh sangat nyata (P˂0,01) terhadap konsumsi pakan, dengan nilai konsumsi pakan yang paling tinggi diperoleh pada perlakuan 10% daun pisang yang diinkubasi 10 hari. Selanjutnya, perlakuan kombinasi level daun pisang dan lama inkubasi berpengaruh sangat nyata (P˂0,01) terhadap pertambahan berat badan, efisiensi penggunaan pakan dan produksi karkas, dengan nilai konsumsi pakan yang paling tinggi diperoleh pada perlakuan 10% daun pisang yang diinkubasi 10 hari. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pakan dengan kandungan 10% daun pisang yang diinkubasi selama 10 hari memberikan hasil yang terbaik.

One hundred MB 402 laying hens (36 weeks of age) were used for the study. The birds were divided into five experimental diets and each was divided into four replicate groups of five birds per replicate. The control diet (based diet) was formulated to contain 51% corn, 14% rice bran, 7% fish meal, 6% CaCO3, and 22% commercial diet. Tomato meal was included in four experimental diets at levels of 2, 4, 6, 8% to substitute based diet. The treatments were: R0 = 100% based diet (BD) + 0% tomato meal (TM); R1 = 98% BD + 2% TM; R2 = 96% BD + 4% TM; R3 = 94% BD + 6% TM; and R4 = 92% BD + 8% TM. Chemical composition of tomato meal were: 16.73% crude protein, 1.53% fat, 30.94% crude fiber, 0.98% Ca, 1.20% P, and 2416 Kcal/kg ME. Feed and water were provided for ad libitum. The study was conducted over a period of 8 weeks, and data were collected on nutrients of eggs: crude protein, fat, carbohydrate, and cholesterol of eggs. Proximate analysis eggs was determined by the methods of AOAC (1990), and cholesterol was determined by Libermann and Burchad method. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The treatment means were compared using Duncan's multiple range test. The results showedthat no differences in hen egg nutrients and cholesterol between treatments R1, R2, R3, and R4 compared to treatment R0 (control). It can be concluded that tomato meal can be used as an alternative feedstuff in laying hen diets to substitute based diet, at inclusion levels up to 8% without negative effects on egg quality.

The purpose of this research was to examine the carcass quality and meat quality of native chicken fed dried tomato meal in diet. The study was conducted by using 200 heads of native chickens 10 days. The birds were divided into five experimental diets and each was divided into four replicate groups of ten birds per replicate. The based diet was formulated to contain 42% corn, rice bran 9%, fish meal 10%, fish oil 5%, soybean meal 9% and commercial diets 25%. Tomato meal was included in five experimental diets at levels of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12% to substitute based diets. The treatments were PO = 100% based diet (BD) + 0% tomato meal (TM); P1 = 97% BD+ 3% TM; P2 = 94% BD + 6% TM;P3 = 91% BD + 9% TM; P4 = 88% BD + 12% TM. Chemical composition of tomato meal was: 20.73% crude protein, 1.53% fat, 30.94%crude fiber, 0.98% Ca, 1.20% P and 2,416 kcal/kg of Gross Energy (GE). Results showedthat feeding tomato meal at an inclusion rate of 12% increased slaughter weight, carcass, breast meat, wings, drumstick and thigh, and decreased abdominal fat and blood cholesterol. Moreover, there were no significant difference in giblet (liver, heart and gizzard) between treatments. Meat water and meat crude protein were significantly increased. Meat crude fat and meat cholesterol were significantly decreased. In conclusion, tomato meal can be used as an alternative feedstuff in kampong chicken diets at inclusion levels up to 12% without negative effects on carcass quality and meat quality.
