Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the use of onion peel powder (Allium cepa L) as a feed additive on feed intake, weight gain, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Production Index, and Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC) in broilers. A total of 144 Lohmann strain broiler (unsexed) were treated from 1 to 35 days of age. There were 6 treatments with 4 replicates, consisting of 24 experimental cages, each filled 6 broilers. The experimental design used completely randomized design (CRD). The treatment groups were as follows: basal feed without antibiotics (P0-), basal feed + 0.1% antibiotics (zinc bacitracin) (P0+), basal feed + 0.25% onion peel (P1), basal feed + 0.50% onion peel (P2), basal feed + 0.75% onion peel (P3), basal feed + 1% onion peel (P4). The data were analyzed using ANOVA using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the addition of onion peel powder has no significant effect on broiler production performance (P>0.05). The use of onion peel powder at dose of up to 1% did not cause negative effects on broilers. The application of onion peel powder at a dose of 0.50% (P2) showed an appropriate dosage for use as a feed additive in broiler feed.
