Abstract :
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of adding fermented
papaya leaves meal to the ration on the performance of super native chickens.
This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) experimental method,
with 4 treatments, each treatment consisting of 5 replications and each treatment
containing 5 super native chickens. The treatments were: P0 (control feed), P1
(control feed + 2% fermented papaya leaves), P2 (control feed + 4% fermented
papaya leaves), and P3 (control feed + 6% fermented papaya leaves). Parameters
observed included feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion. The
results showed that the addition of fermented papaya leaves in the ration to 6%
had no significant effect on feed consumption, weight gain and feed conversion
for super native chickens. In conclusion, the addition of fermented papaya leaves
meal was beneficial as feed ingredients without reducing performance of chicken.
