The Utilization of Sago Dregs to Increase Body Weight Gain and Feed Conversion Rate of Balitbangtan Superior Native Chicken

The utilization of local resource materials as the feed source for native chicken, such sago dregs, is a potential solution to reduce cost conventional chicken feed. Sago dregs produced from processing that widely available in Meranti Island Regency, Riau Province. This research was aimed determine how much evaluate Regency. Testing sago-dregs based ration carried out on 80 four-week-old Balitbangtan superior four treatments (n=20) follows: P1 = 60% fermented (FSD)) + 10% corn 30% trash fish; P2 FSD coffee skin P3 50% commercial feed; P4 non-fermented (NFSD)) starter given 0-4 weeks-old chickens, while treatment 4-12 weeks. parameters observed were body weight gain and conversion ratio. data obtained processed statistically using T-test. results showed significantly lower (P <0.05) average chickens (630 grams) than (808 (806 grams). Meanwhile, chickens’ (722 not different others. ratio P1, P2, P3, 3.2, 3.3, 3.1, 3.5, respectively. substitute Balitbangtan's chickens.
