Abstract :
This study aims to determine the effect of commercial feed substitution with
fermented noni leaf flour on the performance of male laying hens. The number of
laying hens used is 200. The study was conducted from the age of 15 to 56 days.
This research method uses a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments
consisting of P0 (commercial feed), P1 (96% commercial feed + 4% fermented
noni leaf powder), P2 (95% commercial feed + 5% fermented noni leaf powder ),
P3 (94% commercial feed + 6% fermented noni leaf flour), P4 (93% commercial
feed + 7% fermented noni leaf flour) and four replications. Data analysis using
ANOVA. The results showed that the substitution of noni fermented noni leaves
had a very significant effect (P <0.01) on feed consumption, body weight gain,
and feed conversion. The treatment of fermented noni leaf meal showed the best
results in P3 (6% fermented noni leaf flour) with an average feed consumption of
1729.35 grams / tail, body weight gain of 753.25 and the result of feed conversion
was 2.213. In the maintenance of male laying hens, it is recommended the
provision of 6% fermented noni leaf flour, because it can help breeders in
improving the performance of male laying hens.
