Type: article
Abstract: This study aims to determine the effect of the administration of turmeric meal in rations on broilers in the starter phase. This research was conducted on a Ngawi Regency, East Java broiler farm. The search time lasted 2 weeks. Penelitian dirancang dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) pola searah. The study was designed using a RAL unidirectional model. The treatment applied was the administration of turmeric meal in broiler chicken rations with three types of doses, including P0: Without the use of turmeric meal (100% Feed BR-11 / control), P1: Turmeric meal 1% + BR 11 99%, P2: turmeric meal 2% + BR 11 98%. The results of the digestibility study were observed from three variables: ration consumption, daily body weight gain, and ration conversion. The results showed a significant difference in mean (P<0.05) in ration consumption, a significant difference (P<0.05) in body weight gain, and a significant difference (P<0.05) in ration conversion. The study concluded that adding turmeric meal to the broiler feed ration in the start-up phase had a real effect on feed consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion.
