Abstract

The broiler chicken farming industry in Indonesia continues to experience rapid growth in line with the increasing demand for chicken meat. To support the development of this industry, one of the main challenges that must be addressed is the availability, efficiency, and quality of feed. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) maggot oil as a feed additive on the performance, abdominal fat, and intestinal E. coli of broiler chickens. This research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Each experimental unit consisted of 5 MB-212 P broiler chickens from PT. Japfa, with the following treatment details: R0 – 0% maggot oil in the feed; R1 – 0.5% maggot oil (14-day-old) in the feed; R2 – 1% maggot oil (14-day-old) in the feed; R3 – 0.5% maggot oil (28-day-old) in the feed; and R4 – 1% maggot oil (28-day-old) in the feed. Results of the Duncan’s Multiple Range Test showed that all measured parameters, except for abdominal fat, were significantly affected (P<0.05) by the supplementation of maggot oil in the feed. The addition of 1% maggot oil from 14-day-old larvae as a feed additive significantly improved broiler performance, as indicated by the highest feed intake of 352.28 g/bird, live weight of 1,058.5 g, carcass percentage of 83.44%, abdominal fat of 1.47%, and intestinal E. coli count of 4.00 × 10⁵ CFU/g.However, the supplementation of 1% maggot oil from 28-day-old larvae resulted in poorer broiler performance, as indicated by lower feed intake (286.90 g/bird) and a relatively high feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 2.03.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional content of black soldier fly (BSF) maggot meal after undergoing steaming and roasting processes. Steaming was aimed at reducing the crude fat content in the maggot meal, while roasting was intended to accelerate the drying process of fresh maggots. The maggots used in this study were 28-day-old maggots fed with quail manure. The research method employed was an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting of 4 treatments and four replications. The treatments given were: A (maggots not steamed and not roasted), B (maggots not steamed and roasted), C (maggots steamed and not roasted), and D (maggots steamed and roasted). Parameters analyzed included dry matter (%), ash content (%), crude protein (%), and crude fat (%). The results of variance analysis showed that the processing had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the dry matter, ash content, crude protein, and crude fat content of the resulting maggot meal. The conclusion of this study is that the combined application of steaming and roasting significantly reduced the fat content in maggot meal by up to 87% and increased the protein content by 4%. This processing technique resulted in a product with enhanced quality, extended shelf life, and broader application potential in the feed industry.
