REVIEW : POTENSI KULIT SINGKONG SEBAGAI PAKAN TERNAK AYAM BROILER

Abstract

Poultry is one of the main foods consumed in Indonesia, especially broilers. With the increasing demand for chicken meat, then the availability of feed ingredients must be fulfilled. An alternative option to cover the shortage of broiler feed ingredients is utilizing agricultural waste, namely cassava peel. Cassava peel is a waste product from processing cassava, tapioca, tape, and other cassava-based foods. The potential availability of cassava peels in Indonesia is very abundant. Constraints found in cassava peels are low nutrient content and cyanide (HCN) toxins. However, it can be overcome by fermentation technology. The results of several studies show that fermented cassava peel products at a usage rate of 10% can be used in broilers.
