ABSTRACT
In Indonesia, the production of soybean milk generates significant amounts of waste, primarily in the form of soybean milk residue, which is often discarded or underutilized despite its potential as a cost-effective feed ingredient for livestock. Therefore, this study aims to determine how broiler performance is affected by the inclusion of fermented soybean milk waste (FSMW) with Lactobacillus casei in the rations of broiler chickens. One hundred broilers of the DOC Lohmann strain MB-202 Platinum were used in this study. The cages consisted of 25 units of box cages, each measuring 80 x 80 x 60 cm and housing 4 chickens. Each cage was equipped with feeding and drinking areas. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) experimental method with 5 treatments and 5 replications, consisting of R1 (control), R2 (20% FSMW), R3 (25% FSMW), R4 (30% FSMW), and R5 (35% FSMW). Parameters measured included feed consumption, body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), body weight, carcass percentage, and abdominal fat percentage. The study results indicated that the inclusion of FSMW in rations had a highly significant effect (P < 0.01) on feed consumption, BWG, and body weight, but no significant effect (P > 0.05) on feed conversion, carcass percentage, and abdominal fat percentage. In conclusion, soybean milk waste fermented with L. casei can be included up to 30% in broiler rations.
