Abstract

Maggot black soldier fly (BSF) becomes concerned about being a protein source alternative for livestock feed. Maggot BSF is easily cultivated and processed to powder from dry form. Broiler chicken is famous livestock that depends on commercial feed originating from corn. This research aimed to examine the effects of BSF maggot powder as a feed additive in Broiler chicken feed on the body weight and percentage of palatability. The method of this research was true experimental using 100 Days on chick (DOC) divided into 5 groups, namely 1) negative control group (Commercial feed), 2) Maggot 5%, 3) Maggot 10%, 4) Maggot 15%, and 5) Maggot 20%. The body weight was measured four times: 1) day 7th, 2) day 14th, 3) day 21st, and 4) Day 30th. The percentage of palatability was measured based on the daily feed served and daily intake feed. The results showed that all of the Maggot treatment groups have high body weight which Maggot 5% being the highest. Maggot 5% groups or Maggot 10%, has the highest percentage of palatability compared with negative control which used commercial feed. The increase in body weight and percentage of palatability in low concentrations is related to the nutrient and the composition of the maggot. However, this research concluded that Maggot BSF could be utilized as a feed additive to increase body weight (gram) and percentage of palatability at a 5% concentration.
