- Abstract
This study aimed to examine the production performance of broiler farming in two different housing conditions. The study was conducted in company-farmer integration farming. Respondents were selected using the census method to all 92 broiler farmers with a minimum experience of one year in a company-farmers integration partnership. A total of 54 farmers have grade A housing, whereas 38 farmers have grade B housing. Grade A housing refers to a fully automated closed house, whereas grade B housing refers to a less-equipped closed-house without cooling pads. Data collected were liveability, mortality, harvested body weight, harvest age, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and productivity index (IP). Results confirmed that farmers with grade A housing have a better performance. Data were collected from the recording performance in the last 12 months. Grade A housing farmers have average liveability of 95.509%, mortality 4.491%, the body weight of 2.133 kg, harvest age 32.502 days, FCR 1.632, and IP 427.03. In contrast, farmers with grade B housing have average liveability of 95.259%, mortality 4.704%, the body weight of 2.034 kg, harvest age 32.502 days, FCR 1.614, and IP 372.057.
