Supplementation of cellulase enzymes (isolation from termites) in the ration to the productivity of native chickens

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of effectiveness of cellulase enzymes isolated from Termites in feed on the productivity of intensively kept native chickens. The study used a randomized block design (CRBD) with 3 treatments and 15 groups as replications. Each group used 15 unsexed chickens aged five weeks. As for the feed treatment given as follows: P0): chickens that were given commercial feed without the addition of cellulase enzymes; P1): commercially fed chicken+cellulase enzyme as much as 12 g/kg of feed; and P2): commercially fed chicken+cellulase enzyme as much as 24 g/kg of feed, respectively. The results showed that cellulase enzyme supplementation isolated from Termin (Group P1 and P2) were significantly different (P
