EFFECT OF BLACK SOLDIER FLY LARVAE SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF RI HYBRID CHICKENS RAISED AT THE HONG DUC UNIVERSITY PRACTICE FARM
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study was conducted on 540 three-quarter-blood hybrid Ri chickens, one month old, with an average weight of 382.61g per bird. They were randomly assigned to three experimental treatments (NT) with three replicates per treatment. The dietary supplementation levels of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal were 0% (control), 10% (NT1), and 15% (NT2). The results showed a high survival rate, ranging from 95.00% to 96.66%. By the 14th week of age, body weight ranged from 1782.33g to 1844.44g per bird, with the control group having the lowest weight and NT2 the highest. During the 6–14 week of age period, feed conversion ratios (FCR) ranged from 2.27 to 2.91 kg of feed per kg of weight gain, with NT2 exhibiting the highest feed efficiency, showing a difference of up to 0.64 kg of feed per kg of weight gain compared to other groups. Based on the study’s findings, supplementing 15% BSFL meal as a replacement for soybean meal in the diet optimizes economic efficiency in raising hybrid Ri chickens.
