Abstract


This study aims to investigate the effect of the utilization of fermented
Amorphophallus campanulatus (FAC) by Bacillus subtilis in ration on growth performance of
broiler. One hundred and twelve broilers aged eighth days were randomly allocated to four
dietary treatments (four replication with seven birds per replicate pen) and feed containing 0,
5, 10 and 15% FAC. Diets and drinking water were provided ad libitum for 5 weeks. The
obtained data were statistically analyzed using one way ANOVA. Duncan's new multiple range
tests were subsequently used to separate data with a significant difference. The result showed
utilization FAC until 15% in ration had no effect on feed intake, body weight and feed
conversion ratio. These results suggest that fermented Amorphophallus campanulatus (FAC)
by Bacillus subtilis can be used until 15% in broiler's ration.
