Abstract
Broiller chicken (Gallus domesticus) is one of main protein source for Indonesian. In order to produce high quality chicken, it necessary to provide them with affordable high quality diet. Larvae of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) showed high potency as alternative protein source for feedstock while propolis had antibiotic and antioxidant properties that may improve the condition of the gut. The purpose of this study was to observe the growth performance and intestinal condition due to application of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and propolis as feed supplement. Thirty two broiler chickens (14 days old) were randomly divided into 4 groups each feed with specific feedstock type, P0 (100% control diet and 1 ml aquadest), P1 (100% control diet and 1 ml propolis extract 3%), P2 (85% control diet and 15% BSFL powder + 1 ml aquadest), and P3 (85% control diet and 15% BSFL powder + 1 ml propolis extract 3%), for 14 days. Chicken of P2 group showed the highest body weight (1047 ± 33.8 g) and the lowest was P3 group (989.2 ± 32.5 g). chicken received part of BSF as diet developed slightly bigger area of duodenum and slightly smaller area of jejenum and illeum although not significant.
