“…As per standard ration formulation of broiler, pre starter, starter and finisher feeds were provided to the birds during the experimental period. At every week interval, birds were weighed individually by a digital weighing balance and others parameters like cumulative body weight gain (CBWG), cumulative feed intake (CFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were measured and recorded as per standard methods (Sigroha et al, 2017).…”

The experiment was conducted to assess the effect of two different types of litter materials (saw dust and rice husk) on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicken. A total of 150 nos. of day-old Ross broiler chicks were randomly selected and divided equally into five groups, 3 replications were carried out for each group taking 10 birds in each replicate. In this study, Group-I was provided with 100% saw dust, Group-II -100% rice husk, Group-III -75% sawdust +25% rice husk, Group-IV -50% saw dust + 50% rice husk and Group-V 25% saw dust + 75% rice husk. During the experimental period, standard feeding and uniform management practices were applied. Growth performance parameters viz. live body weight (LBW), cumulative body weight gain (CBWG), cumulative feed intake (CFI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were measured at weekly intervals up to 6 weeks of age. After 6 weeks of the study, six birds were randomly selected from each replicate group, and slaughtered and dressed for evaluation of carcass characteristics of broiler chicken. The results showed that up to 2 weeks of age, there was no significant difference in LBW, CBWG, CFI and FCR among the groups; but during growing to finishing stages (from 3 weeks to 6 weeks) the litter materials had played significant role, and comparatively better performance was noticed in birds those were raised on saw dust. Therefore, saw dust may be used as a litter material for better growth performance in broiler chicken.

“…Generally the litter material is used in broiler farm to give more comfort to the birds for more income generation. Scientists also noticed that the quality of the litter material has significant influences to the overall performances of the broiler (Sigroha et al, 2017).…”

“…Hasil penelitian ini sejalan dengan laporan (Garces et al, 2017;Huang et al, 2009) yang menyatakan bahwa bahan litter tidak memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap bobot potong, bobot karkas serta bobot lemak abdomen pada ayam broiler yang dipelihara pada litter serutan kayu, pasir, sabut kelapa, sekam padi, koran, rumput serta tongkol jagung. Demikian pula beberapa penelitian melaporkan bahwa ayam broiler yang dipelihara pada bahan litter serbuk gergaji, jerami gandum, sekam padi, pasir sungai dan tanah berpasir (Sigroha et al, 2017)…”

Kebutuhan serutan kayu sebagai bahan litter semakin bersaing dengan peningkatan dan perluasan usaha peternakan ayam broiler, sehingga menyebabkan ketersediaan terbatas dan biaya menjadi mahal. Limbah perkebunan, seperti sabut kelapa, ampas tebu dan pelepah sawit dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai alternatif bahan litter untuk alas lantai kandang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan limbah perkebunan sebagai bahan litter terhadap bobot karkas dan lemak abdomen ayam broiler. Sebanyak 200 ekor anak ayam broiler umur 1 hari strain Lohmann didistribusikan pada 20 unit kandang koloni. 4 jenis bahan litter yang digunakan sebagai perlakuan adalah: serutan kayu (P0 sebagai kontrol), sabut kelapa (P1), ampas tebu (P2), dan pelepah sawit (P4). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan. Semua ayam dipelihara dalam kondisi lingkungan yang sama pada kandang sistem terbuka. Sebanyak 5 ekor/unit kandang (25 ekor/perlakuan) diambil sebagai sampel untuk pengukuran bobot potong, bobot karkas dan bobot lemak abdomen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan bahan litter sabut kelapa, ampas tebu dan pelepah sawit tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05) terhadap bobot karkas dan bobot lemak abdomen ayam broiler. Disimpulkan bahwa bahan litter limbah perkebunan seperti sabut kelapa, ampas tebu dan pelepah sawit dapat digunakan sebagai bahan litter alternatif yang dapat menggantikan serutan kayu karena memiliki pengaruh yang sama terhadap bobot karkas dan lemak abdomen ayam broiler.

“…Globally most commonly used litter materials include sawdust ( Monira et al, 2003 ; Mendes et al, 2011 and Sigroha et al, 2017 ) and wood shavings ( Garcia et al, 2012 ; Petek et al, 2014 ; Villagra et al, 2014 ; Teixeira et al, 2015 and Gupta et al, 2020 ). In some areas where paddy is grown including Sri Lanka, paddy husk ( PH ) is the most widely used litter material for poultry production ( Atapattu and Wickramasinghe 2007 ; Belpagodagamage et al, 2021 ).…”
