Combination of protein sources from local feed ingredients on Kalosi chicken performance.

Indonesia has a variety of protein source feed ingredients that can be used as protein source feed ingredients, or as a natural feed additive to suppress bacterial growth and increase feed efficiency. The combination of maggot of Black Soldier Fly (BSF), Indigofera (Indigofera zollingeriana), and turmeric have the potential to replace fish meal in the chicken's feed. Therefore this study aimed to determine the native chickens' performance fed the combination of protein sources (maggot and Indigofera) and turmeric flour. This study was conducted based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with a 3x2 factorial pattern and 4 replications, each replication consisted of 4 chickens. The first factor was a combination of feed ingredients MF (maggot flour), ILF (Indigofera leaf flour), and TF (turmeric flour). The second factor is the type of chicken used, namely Kalosi chicken and Kalosi chicken treated in ovo feeding. During the experimental period, Kalosi chicken groups fed maggot flour and Indigofera as protein sources combined with turmeric flour could maintain their performance in a similar pattern with other groups which fed commercial ration (control). This study implied that local feed ingredients such as maggot, and Indigofera could be considered as potential feedstuff replacing fish meal as a protein source in the native chicken ration.
