Abstract
A 38-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of fermented coconut paring meal (FCPM) as feed ingredient for broilers. A total of 300 Cobb chicks were randomly distributed to three dietary treatments following a completely randomized design. Treatment 1 served as a control diet, Treatment 2, diet with 5% coconut paring meal (CPM), and Treatment 3, diet with 5% FCPM. Each treatment was replicated 10 times with 10 chicks per replicate. Results showed that there were no significant differences observed in body weight gain, livability rate and dressing percentage among treatments. Broilers fed diets with 5% FCPM consumed more feeds but were the poorest in feed utilization. Low income over feed and chick cost was generated from broilers fed diets with FCPM. Based on this study, FCPM in the diet had negative impact on the performance of broilers.
