The Effect of Feed Variation on Jowo Super Chicken (Gallus domesticus) Growth in the Integrated System of Crops – Livestock – Fish

Abstract

The need of people's animal protein increases every year. One of the alternative sources of animal protein that can be easily obtained is Jowo Super chicken (Gallus domesticus), a hybrid resulting from Kampong chicken and laying hens. However, the high cost of the chicken food causes hardships for breeders in the process of achieving production efficiency whereas it contributes 60%-70% of the whole production cost. One of the ways that can be used and be the solution in the effort to suppress the food and production cost is by applying the Integrated System of Crops -Livestock -Fish. This research has the purpose to find the effect on the feed variation on Jowo Super chicken (Gallus domesticus) based on the treatments towards each food variation. This research was done in Biological Physics
