Evaluation of Kandis Acid Seed Flour (Garcinia cowa) as Feed Aditive on Broiler Performance

This study aims to implement kandis acid seed flour (Gracinia cowa) as a feed supplement to the performance of broiler production. The total of two hundred 200 DOC of Lohmann strains which were not differentiated by gender (Straight run or Unsex) and were maintained for 35 days. The variables observed were body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, production index and carcass weight. The design used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design consisting of five treatments with five replications, each replicate placed randomly into the entire experimental plot. The five types of treatments are: P0: Basal feed without Kandis Acid seed flour, P1: Basal feed plus 0.25% kandis acid seed powder, P2: Basal feed plus 0.5% kandis acid seed powder, P3: Basal feed plus 0 , 75% of kandis acid seed powder and P4: Basal feed plus 1% acid kandis seed powder. The data obtained in this study were analyzed using Variance Analysis (Analysis of Varience). If there are significant differences, proceed with the Duncan test. The results showed that there were no significant differences (P> 0.05) on feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion, induction production and carcass weight. Based on the value of the variable variation information, when compared to the treatment of kandis acid seed control is still within the normal range and indicates a physiological process that is not experiencing interference, which means that the nutritional status is good. Conclusion shows that by giving kandis acid seed flour up to 1% does not cause a negative effect on broiler performance production.
