Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of mixing of fermented feed ingredients with EM4 on feed consumption, body weight gain, feed covers, and income over feed cost. The materials were 40 Mojosari male ducks, commercial feed plus mixed feed ingredients of oil palm carnel cake, cassava sludge, and rice bran (80:10:10). Experimented is arranged in Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and four replications. The treatments were T0 (100% commercial feed), T1 (95% commercial feed + 5% fermented local feed mixed), T2 (90% commercial feed + 10% fermented local feed mixed), T3 (85% commercial feed + 15% fermented local feed mixed), and T4 (80% commercial feed + 20% fermented local feed mixed). Analysis of variance were conducted followed by Turkey test. The result showed that fermented local feed mixed until 20% in commercial feed has no negative effect (P>0,05) on feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, and income over feed cost. The treatment of fermented local feed mixed was safe for Mojosari male duck.
