The Combination of Indigofera Leaf and Corn as Fermented Feed on the Growth of Arabic Chicken (Gallus turcicus)

Abstract

This study aims to find out the effect of combination of fermented Indegofera leaf and corn on the growth of Arabic chicken. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment consisted of P.1: Commercial Feed; P.2: 80% Indegofera sp leaves + 20% Corn; P.3: 70% Indegofera leaves + 30% Corn; P.4: 60% Indegofera leaves + 40% Corn. Measurement of Arab chickens weight was carried out once a week for one month. The weight data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that the combination of fermented feed consisting Indegofera sp leaves and corn had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the growth of Arab chickens. The conclusion shows that fermented feed of Indegofera leaves sp and corn as chicken diet could improve the growth of Arabian chickens.

The Effect of Feeding a Mixture of Indigofera Flour In Commercial Feeding on The Production and Quality of Quail Eggs (Cortunix-cortunix Japonica)

“…Indigofera contains calcium, phosphorus, potassium, xanthophyll, and carotenoids which have a major influence on egg development [9], [10]. [11] reported that indofera fermentation was able to increase the growth of Arabian chickens (Gallus turcicus). [12].…”

The Effect of Giving A Mixture of Indigofera (Indigofera tinctoria) Flour In Commercial Feedon The Growth of Quail (Coturnix-coturnix japonica)

“…One of the feed ingredients that has the potential to be used as quail livestock feed is Indigofera flour, which is a local feed ingredient that is cheap, easy to obtain, available at any time and does not compete with human needs, and has nutritional qualities that can meet livestock needs. Indigofera zollingeriana is widely developed because it has quite high biomass production with good benefits as a concentrate substitute in rations [7], [8]said that indigofera fermented feed was able to increase the growth of Arabian chickens (Gallus turcicus). [9], [10] Also reported that fermented feed from indigofera was able to improve the sperm quality of Arabian chickens (Gallus turcicus).…”
