- Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of Valine supplementation in the diet on the growth performance and giblet weight of Native chicken at the starter phase. This experiment was conducted in Kefamenanu, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, from June to July 2022. A total of five hundred a-week-old Native chicken with average of initial weight 59.39 g were used in the experiment. The Chicken were divided into five treatments with five replications based on a completely randomized design. The diet treatments were: T0 (control feed); T1 (0.75% Valine); T2 (1.00% Valine); T3 (1.25% Valine); and T4 (1.50% Valine). The parameters observed were body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and giblet weight. The data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance and Duncan test. The result showed that the body weight of T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4 were 298.96, 314.68, 315.16, 309.48, and 305.74 g/bird, respectively. Body weight gain were 239.42, 255.38, 255.78, 250.08, and 246.40 g/bird/6 weeks, respectively. The feed intakes were 577.03, 526.16, 510.17, 568.70, and 579.0.2 g/bird/6 weeks. Feed conversion ratio were 2.41, 2.20, 1.99, 2.27, and 2.35, respectively. The giblet weights were 31.03, 31.55, 32.08, 31.38, and 31.02 g/bird, respectively. The result indicated that the body weight, body weight gain, and the feed conversion were affected by the level of Valine (P < 0.05), while the feed intake and the giblet weight were not significant. It was concluded that supplementation with 0.75 - 1.00% Valine to the diet of Native chicken resulted in optimal growth performance at the starter phase.
