Abstract

UTILIZATION OF GOROHO BANANA PEEL FLOUR (Musa acuminafe, L) IN RATION ON EGG PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF LAYING HENS.  The objective of this study was to evaluate the utilization goroho banana peel flour (Musa acuminafe, L) in ration on production performance of laying hens (strain of MB 402). Total of 100 laying hens (strain of MB 402) at the age of 36 weeks old were used in this study. Treatments were using basal ration without goroho banana peel flour (R0), basal ration of 98% added with goroho banana peel flour of 2% (R1), basal ration of 96% added with goroho banana peel flour of 4% (R2), basal ration of 94% added with goroho banana peel flour of 6% (R3), and basal ration of 92% added with goroho banana peel flour of 8% (R4). Each treatment was replicated in to 5 replications. Variables measured were including feed consumption (g/head/day), egg production (%), and feed conversion. Completely randomized design was applied the research method with Duncan’s multiple range test for the significance treatments affecting variables. Results showed that utilization goroho banana peel flour (Musa acuminafe, L) in ration did not significantly affect on feed consumption, egg production and feed conversion. Therefore, it can be concluded that utilization goroho banana peel flour (Musa acuminafe, L) in ration up to 8 percents might be applied in ration of laying hens (strain of MB 402).
