Abstract

This research was conducted in order to determine or to re-examine the performances of broiler chickens fed ration containing cinnamon bark powder (Cinnamomum burmannii).  Eighty of CP 707 broiler chickens aged of 2 weeks were used and kept until 6 weeks old. Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 4 replications each treatment was used in this study; the treatments used were, T0= 100% basal ration without cinnamon bark powder (CBP), T1= 99.5% basal ration + 0.5% CBP, T2= 99% basal ration + 1% CBP, T3= 98.5% basal ration + 1.5 % CBP, and T4= 98% basal ration + 2% CBP.  The measurements taken were feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion, and final body weight. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan test showed that, giving cinnamon bark powder up to 2% in the ration had an effect on CP 707 broiler chickens aged 2-6 weeks; had a very significantly different effect (P<0.01) on body weight gained and so, on final body weight; and significantly different (P <0.05) on feed conversion, but not on feed consumption. In this study, the higher the level of CBP in the ration, the weight gained and final body weight decreased but feed conversion increased.  Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that giving cinnamon bark powder as a natural feed additive up to 2% in the feed did not improve the performance of CP 707 broiler chickens, because of weight gained and final body weight of the chickens decreased, while, feed conversion increased, which means that, economically it was not getting better.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The objective of community partnership program cluster 2 (CPP-C2) is to provide micro and small-scale layer chicken farmers in Tomohon city with business management procedures based on “biosecurity”. Problems faced by partners, both farm owners and farm workers: 1) lack of knowledge and understanding of the concept and application of biosecurity 2) lack of sanitation application, which increases the risk of diseases emerging and spreading 3) not yet aware that the use of open house system, unfenced farms and no procedures for entering the farm area, are not in accordance with the principles of biosecurity system. The activity was carried out in stages: survey, socialization on the concept and implementation of the 3-zone biosecurity system, provision of disinfectants and examples of regulation for laying hen farming as well as evaluation. The evaluation results show that during the extension activity, out of 8 participants only 2 were actively asking questions, and it turned out they were the farm owners, while the farm workers were passive. It was found after the outreach activity, that the farm owners or farm workers who were partners had not been implemented the 3-zone biosecurity system, therefore outreach activities regarding biosecurity on poultry farm still need to be provided again to them, so that the concept and application of biosecurity will be truly understood and they would be willing to do so. However, at least 2 farms have prepared signboards with rules for entering the farm area. The occurrence of outbreaks and pandemics should be a lesson-learned that biosecurity measures are highly relevant to the saying “it is better to prevent than cure”. If, chicken remain healthy, they produce high-quality and safe products, and so, farmers can minimize health costs and maximize profits, even enabling farms owner to expand their businesses scale. In conclusion, this activity has not been given a significant impact on partner’s farm management because all partners have not been implemented the 3-zone biosecurity system, and it would be better if, all farm owners as decision makers to participate in this kind of activity, as well as the need for synergy between relevant agencies in the livestock sector in Tomohon city and academics with poultry farming business practitioners in an effort to maintain livestock health, poultry communities and maintain food security.

Abstract

Ammonia accumulation is one of the main air-quality challenges in intensive broiler production, particularly in closed-house systems where large numbers of birds are reared under controlled environmental conditions. This study aimed to analyze the practices used to reduce ammonia (NH3) concentration in the closed-house broiler facility of CH Kembar Farm, Moncongloe Bulu, Indonesia. The study was conducted from September to November 2024 using a descriptive mixed-method approach. Data were collected through direct field observation, interviews with farm management, and NH3 measurement using an ammonia kit test (Hydrion AM-40). The findings showed that ammonia control at the farm was supported by routine maintenance of key housing equipment, including exhaust fans, blower fans, cooling pads, and backup electrical systems, as well as by regular litter management through EM-4 application and litter stirring three times per week until harvest. The measured NH3 concentration was consistently reported as 10 ppm at all observation points, indicating that the in-house ammonia condition remained below the threshold value cited in the source manuscript. These results suggest that effective ammonia mitigation in closed-house broiler production depends not only on housing technology, but also on the consistency of daily operational management. Overall, this study provides practical field-based evidence that integrated environmental-control and litter-management practices can support acceptable air-quality conditions in commercial broiler production under tropical conditions.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of probiotic supplementation in feed on the performance of Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chickens during the starter phase. The research was conducted at Tokatindung Reference Integrated Ecofarming Development (TRIED) Farm of PT MSM–TTN, Pinenek Village, East Likupang District, North Minahasa Regency, over a four-week rearing period. A total of 100 day-old KUB chickens were used in this study. Variables including feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. Liquid probiotics are administered through feed at a level of 2% v/w. Data were using Microsoft Excel. The results showed that the average feed intake of KUB chickens was 23 ± 13.52 g/bird/day, body weight gain was 12.12 ± 0.57 g/bird/day, and the feed conversion ratio was 1.89. These values are still within the standard performance range of KUB chickens in the starter phase, so it can be concluded that the use of probiotics in feed in this study has not had an effect on improving the performance of KUB chickens in the starter phase.
