Experiment reveals that feeding fermented rice bran improves body weight gain and ration conversion in native chickens, indicating potential agricultural benefits.
The study aimed to determine the effect of giving fermented rice bran with Rhizopus sp on the performance of free-range chickens. This study used a non-factorial Complete Random Design (RAL) method with 4 treatments and 5 replicates. The treatment used was as follows: P0 = control, P1 = ration + 10% DPF, P2 = ration + 15% DPF and P3 = ration + 20% DPF. The results of the study showed that the administration of fermented rice bran can affect the performance of free-range chickens, namely ration consumption, body weight gain, and ration conversion. The results of the fingerprint analysis showed that the P2 treatment (ration + 15% DPF) had a conversion of 3.64 and the highest body weight gain of 63.81 g.
