Abstract

Cassava contain a large quantity of starch, therefore it is good to be used as an energy source for poultry diet. However, cassava contain high level of insoluble fiber which are not well digested by poultry. Enzymes and diet forms are two things that must be considered for the provision of cassava-based diets for broiler. The research was undertaken to evaluate the performance of broiler chickens fed cassava-based feed supplemented with xylanase enzyme in the form of mash and pellets. The experimental design used in this experiment was completely randomized design in a 3x2x2 factorial design, three levels of cassava meal (0%, 20%, 30%), two levels of enzyme (without vs with enzyme) and 2 diet forms (pellet vs mash). A total of 240 broiler chickens were divided into 10 treatments. Each treatment replicated 4 times with 5 chickens for each treatment. The body weight, weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were calculated per week. There was interaction between level of cassava meal; enzyme and diet forms on final weight, carcass yield, and abdominal fat. The chickens given pellet diets had better performance. Enzyme supplementation can improve final weight, carcas yield, and decrease abdominal fat of broiler fed 30% cassava-based diet. In conclusion, 30% cassava in pellet form supplemented with enzyme can be used as an energy sources and also reduce abdominal fat deposition in broiler.
