Abstract
ABSTRACK Coconut pulp is a waste food ingredient from the manufacture of coconut oil and VCO. The disadvantage of feed ingredients derived from waste is the low quality of the feed ingredients. Therefore, it is necessary to do processing technology, namely fermentation which is useful to improve the quality, digestibility and shelf life of these feed ingredients. The research was divided into two stages, namely 1) collecting coconut pulp, drying it, pressing it and then fermenting the coconut pulp produced. 2) Research on the maintenance of super female native chickens whose purpose is to prepare hens as producers of native chicken eggs. 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 native chickens. Variables observed included: 1 ). Age of chicken growth includes the weight gain and final weight of super native chicken, 2) Percentage of carcass and non carcasses for super native 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 native 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. Thus for the maintenance of super female native chickens it is recommended to provide fermented coconut pulp flour up to the level of 10%
