The impact of substituting waste flour from a broiler farm for commercial concentrate on production performance and edible offal of landrace pig

Abstract

The goal of the study was to determine how landrace pigs' production performance and edible offal would be affected by switching from commercial concentrate to waste flour from broiler farms (WFBF). There were three treatments and five replications in the study's fully randomized design. "The treatments were, A: using 24% commercial concentrate and 0% WFBW, B: 12% commercial concentrate and 12% WFBF, C: 0% commercial concentrate and 24% WFBF". Research variables: Production performance and edible offals of landrace pigs. The outcomes: The production performance of landrace pigs was unaffected by replacing commercial concentrate with 50% WFBF from the control. The production performance had been severely lowered by switching to 100% WFBF. The weight of the edible offals was unaffected by replacing commercial concentrate with 50% to 100% WFBF. Conclusion: While 100% WFBF can replace commercial concentrate, it won't have an impact on the weight of the edible offals.

Weight loss in slaughter weight and Primal Cut (PC) of Bali pigs in additional feed base from fermented broiler farm by-products

“…It was also stated that by adding 12 kg of chicken farm waste-based concentrate to the finisher phase landrace pig ration, a reduction in body weight and digestive tract weight was achieved which was almost the same as the control (full commercial concentrate). Ariana (2023) [3] also presented the results of her research which showed that substituting the use of commercial pig feed concentrate with 50% concentrate from chicken farm waste could maintain the performance of landrace pigs and was almost the same as the control using 100% commercial concentrate. The results of the research above can provide information and facts on pig farms with alternative sources of feed ingredients that are cheap and can maintain production and do not reduce post mortem/postharvest results.…”

“…The nutritional content of the ration, the environment and handling of pigs before slaughter can affect slaughter weight and overall reduction in slaughter weight (Ariana et al, 2022) [2] . The use of cheap conventional feed and the addition of multiminerals to pig feed can increase performance in general (Sukmawati et al, 2022;Witariadi et al, 2023;Ariana, 2023) [17,21,3] . The lean cut (LC) percentage consists of the amount of meat in the 4 (four) main commercial cuts of ham, loin, Boston butt and picnic shoulder.…”

“…Post-harvest pig farming, in the form of final weight, slaughter and carcass weight, can be influenced by pre-slaughter treatment such as maintenance, feed, breed (Ariana and Bulkaini, 2021) [1] . The fairly high cost of feed (70%-80%) causes pig farmers to look for solutions to get alternative feed at a cheaper cost or list cost ratio (Ariana, 2023) [3] . It was also conveyed that information on the use of feed ingredients that are relatively cheap and have high nutritional value has been widely carried out with the aim of overcoming the problem of feed costs.…”
