<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Larvae supplementation on feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion of native chicken. Sixty four- 4 weeks old native chicken were used in this study following a completely randomized design with four treatments and four replicates. The treatments offered were L0: Commercial diet 100%; L1: Commercial diet 75% + Larvae served ad libitum, L2: Commercial diet, 50% + larvae served ad libitum. L3: Commercial diet, 25% + larvae served ad libitum. Variables measured were feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion. The results showed that inclusion of larvae to commercial diet (P <0,05) increased body weight gain of native chicken with the highest values for L1 (13,04 gram/head/day) compared to the other of treatments. Feed intake was not affected by the treatments. However, feed conversion ratio of the native chicken became poorer as the level of commercial diet declined. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian larva yang berasal dari feses sapi terhadap konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum ayam buras. Penelitian ini digunakan 64 ekor ayam buras berumur 4 minggu. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 4 perlakuan 4 ulangan sehingga terdapat 16 unit percobaan. Perlakuan yang dicobakan adalah L0: Ransum komersial 100%, L1: Ransum Komersial 75% + Larva secara ad libitum, L2: Ransum komersial 50% + Larva secara ad libitum, L3: Ransum komersial 25% + Larva secara ad libitum. Variabel yang diukur antara lain konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penggunaan Larva segar secara ad libitum dan pakan komersial dari level 75%, 50% dan 25% memberikan pengaruh yang nyata (P<0,05) terhadap pertambahan bobot badan ayam buras dan paling tertinggi terdapat pada perlakuan L1 sebesar 13.04 gram/ekor/hari dari perlakuan L2 dan L3. Pemberian larva feses sapi dan pakan komersial memberikan pengaruh tidak nyata pada konsumsi ransum ayam buras. Pemberian larva feses sapi dengan level pemberian ransum komersial yang semakin menurun mengakibatkan konversi ransum meningkat secara nyata pada ayam buras.]]>
