Abstract
The research was carried out at the Basic Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Warmadewa University with a level of use of fermented coconut pulp, namely R0 (ration that contains no fermented coconut pulp, R1 (ration containing 5% fermented coconut pulp flour), R2 (ration containing 10 % fermented coconut pulp) and R3 (rations containing 15% fermented coconut pulp). Each combination of treatments was repeated three (3) times, and each replication consisted of 4 super female free-range chickens. Variables observed included: 1). Age of chicken growth includes the weight gain and final weight of super free-range chicken, 2) Percentage of carcass and non-carcasses for super free-range chicken, 3) Feed Convertion Ratio (FCR, 4) Feed consumption, and 5) B / C ratio. From this study it was found that the giving of coconut pulp flour was fermented up to 10% (R2) significantly (P <0.05) could increase weight gain and final weight and B / C ratio of 14 weeks super female free-range chicken, and flour dregs fermented coconut to the level of 10% also decreases ration consumption and the conversion of ration for super female chicken 14 weeks old.
