Production Performance and Carcass Percentage of Broilers Fed Distillers Dried Grain From Rice Husks With Co-culture Fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Candida tropicalis
Tatang Sopandi and A. Wardah

Abstract: Background and Objective: Distillers dried grains of bioethanol production can be used as an alternative source of energy and protein for poultry feed. Sources of raw material for energy are very important to reduce the cost of poultry feed. The present study aimed to find suitable proportion of distillers dried grains from a rice husk with co-culture fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevicea with Candida tropicalis as feed ingredients for broiler chickens to replace corn. Materials and Methods: One hundred day-old chicks (DOC) were used in the present study. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments and different replications. Six formulations of treatment feed were made for the starter and finisher periods, each consisting of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% rice husk DDG in broiler chicken rations. In the present study, the composition of DDG nutrients and formulated feed were analyzed according to AOAC recommendations. Results: Corn substitution with rice husk DDG up to 15% does not negatively affect the growth and weight of harvest, feed consumption and feed conversion, carcass, liver organ and gastrointestinal tract percentage and nitrogen retention of broiler chicken. However, replacement of corn with 20-25% of rice husk DDG can decreases growth and harvest weight, feed conversion and nitrogen retention of broiler chicken. Conclusion: The rice husk DDG can be used as a formulation material and replaces 15% of corn in broiler chicken rations.
