Abstract
Copra meal contains high crude fibre which makes this raw material difficult to digest. Copra meal is optimized for use in feed formulas, one of which is by adding enzymes. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of copra meal and multi-enzyme in the formulation of finisher phase broiler feed on performance. The research method used a completely randomized design with a 4 x 4 factorial pattern. The first factor was the level of use of copra meal (K), and the second factor is the level of enzyme use (E). Each experimental unit consisted of 4 chickens. Factor I is the level of use of copra in the finisher broiler feed formula: K0 (0% copra meal)- K1 (2% copra meal)- K2 (4% copra meal)- K3 (6% copra meal)- Factor II is the level of multi-enzyme: E0 (0% multi enzymes)- E1 (0.025% multi-enzyme)- E2 (0.05% multi-enzyme) and E3 (0.075% multi-enzyme). Research variables include feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. The results obtained showed that the use of copra meal had a significant effect on consumption, and multi-enzyme factors and their interactions had no significant effect. For body weight gain and conversion, there was no influence from the addition of copra meal and enzymes and their interaction. The conclusion was the addition of copra meal and multienzyme was able to maintain the performance of broiler chickens.
