The Effect of Black Soldier Fly Maggot Powder on Performance, Digestive Organ Weight, and Carcass Proportion Supermaron Native Chicken

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine if and how the maggot black army fly flour in the diet affects the health and productivity of domesticated supermaron chickens. The feed ration contains black soldier fly (BSF) maggot flour, which has the potential to be employed as a source of animal protein both biologically and commercially. This study was conducted in vivo, which means that varied degrees of administration in the ratio of the protein content in the ration were given directly to animals. T-Test was used in this investigation with two treatments and eight replications. The treatment consisted of control (T0), namely complete feed with 20% protein content, and T1 in the form of control feed plus supplementation of maggot flour with protein content of 40.83% as much as 10% of each portion of feed given. The parameters studied were performance, weight and length of digestive organs, and proportion of carcass consisting of feed consumption, ADG, FCR, Digestive organs mass relatives, and carcass proportions. Based on the research that supplementation with 10% maggot flour has not had a significant effect on all parameters found. This is due to the possibility that a complete diet that satisfies the nutritional requirements of domesticated supermaron chickens and the addition of 10% BSF maggot flour have not been able to maximize the productivity of domesticated supermaron chickens, necessitating increased BSF maggot meal levels.
