Broiler Performance Given Carrot Waste Juice Meal As A Feed Supplement

Abstract

Carrot waste contains various vitamins and carotenoid beta-carotene as provitamin A which is useful for improving broiler performance. The research objective was to determine the performance of broiler feeds given carrot waste juice meal as a feed supplement. The research was conducted in poultry cages at the Department of Animal Husbandry, Lampung State Polytechnic, from April to July 2020. The study was conducted in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 6 replications, each with 4 broilers. The treatments applied were R0 = 0% carrot waste juice meal, R1 = 1% carrot waste juice meal, R2 = 2% carrot waste juice meal, and R3 = 3% carrot waste juice meal. The data from the research was carried out by analysis of variance if there was an influence on the variables then it was followed by Duncan's multiple distance test. The results showed that the use of carrot waste juice meal as a feed supplement with a level of 2% in broiler feeds produced the best performance.
