Evaluation of Fermented Islamic Boarding School Food Waste using RhizopusOligosporus as a Superior Local Feed on the Performance of Broiler Chickens

This study aimed to evaluate the use of fermented Islamic boarding school food waste with Rhizopus oligosporus as feed on the performance of broiler chickens.The study used 200 day-old chicks (DOC) of the Arbor Acres (AA) CP-707 broiler strain produced by PT Charoen Pokphand TBK Indonesia, which were reared for 7 weeks.The research employed an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications.The treatment variations were the inclusion levels of Rhizopus oligosporus-fermented Islamic boarding school food waste in broiler feed: A (0% FIBSFW), B (10% FIBSFW), C (20% FIBSFW), D (30% FIBSFW), and E (40% FIBSFW).The observed variables included feed intake (g/bird), final body weight (g/bird), and feed conversion ratio (FCR).The results showed that the inclusion of fermented Islamic boarding school food waste with Rhizopus oligosporus had a significant effect (P<0.05) on feed intake, final body weight, and feed conversion ratio.It was concluded that fermented Islamic boarding school food waste can be used up to 30% in the feed, reducing the use of corn without negatively affecting broiler performance.
