ABTRACTThis study used 80 broiler chickens. The stages of the research started from the preparation of the cage, the manufacture of fermentation of banana peel flour, chicken maintenance for 36 days, and slaughering. This study consisted of 5 treatments and 4 replications using a complete randomized design (RAL), which was each consisted of 4 broiler chickens. The treatments were PO: control, P1: 2.5% fermented banana peel flour, P2: 5% fermented banana peel flour, P3: 7.5% fermented banana peel flour, P4: 10% fermented flour banana peel. The parameters to be measured were ration consumption, weight, weight percentage of carcass, fat (percentage of abdominal fat, percentage of gizzard fat, percentage of intestinal fat, percentage of fat of neck, percentage of fat of thigh, and percentage of internal organs). Based on analysis of variance, it showed that fermented banana peel flour (KPF) using Neurospora crassa did not lose weight but reduced abdominal fat, gizzard fat, neck fat, intestinal fat, femoral fat up to 10% of the flour.

ABTRAKPenelitian ini menggunakan ayam broiler sebanyak 80 ekor. Tahapan penelitian dimulai dari persiapan kandang, pembuatan fermentasi tepung kulit pisang jantan, pemeliharaan ayam selama 36 hari, dan pemotongan. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL), yang setiap ulangan terdapat 4 ekor ayam broiler. Perlakuan tersebut yaitu, PO: kontrol, P1: 2,5%, fermentasi tepung kulit pisang, P2: 5% fermentasi tepung kulit pisang, P3= 7,5% fermentasi tepung kulit pisang, P4: 10% fermentasi tepung kulit pisang. Paramater yang akan diukur pada penelitian ini adalah konsumsi ransum, berat badan, persentase berat karkas, perlemakan (persentase lemak abdomen, persentase lemak gizzard, persentase lemak penggantung usus, persentase lemak leher, persentase lemak paha, dan persentase organ dalam). Berdasarkan hasil analisis sidik ragam menunjukkan bahwa pemberian tepung kulit pisang fermentasi (KPF) dengan menggunakan Neurospora crassa tidak menurunkan berat badan tetapi mengurangi lemak abdomen, lemak gizzard, lemak leher, lemak penggantung usus, lemak paha hingga level 10 %.
