- Abstract
Many studies have reported that the addition of bromelain enzyme and pineapple extract can increase the growth performance of broiler chickens. However, when the bromelain enzyme was applied to meat, it can digest proteins that cause cell damage. In this study, the addition of the bromelain enzyme with a higher dose was studied to determine its effect on the growth rate of broiler chickens. The study used 42 unisex broiler chickens strain Lohman MB 202 P aged 14 to 35 days fed with various doses of bromelain enzyme. The dose variations given were 0, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, and 3000 GDU/kg commercial feed. Parameters observed were body weight, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. The effect of feed with bromelain enzyme dose variation on the parameters was observed. The data obtained were analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA method. The results showed that feeding with the addition of bromelain did not show a significant change (p > 0.05) on body weight, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. However, the addition of bromelain enzyme to feed at a dose of 600 GDU/kg of feed or more can reduce growth performance.
