ABSTRACT

A study on effects of fermentated casava meal with Amylomyces rouxii supplementation in broilers diets was assigned using a completely random design (CRD).The experiment composed of 5 treatments with 4 replication each. Ten chicks of both sexes at birth were allocated in each replication on the total of 200 chicks. Diet in control treatment contained 0% of fermented cassava meal (FCM),diet in treatment 2, 3, 4 and 5 composed of 5, 10, 15 and 20% FCM. The results showed that increasing levels of fermented cassava meal (FCM) significantly reduced (P < 0.05) performance of broilers during 4 - 6 weeks of age as compared to the control group. During 0-3 weeks of age,production performances of broiler among treatments were not significantly different. Levels of FCM in this study can be used to supplement in broiler diets 0 - 3 weeks of age with no effect on the performance. However, the optimum levels of FCM in broilers diets should be 10%.

Key words: Fermentated Casava Meal (FCM), Amylomyces rouxii
