Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary substitution ofhydrolyzed feather meal (HFM) to anchovy fish
meal (AFM) on broilers performance, nutrients retention and economic potential. Feathers were pressure and hydrolyzed
by nyra palm vinegar to obtain the feather meal utilized in these experiments. Two hundred broiler chickens were
randomly allocated to five treatment diets in a completely randomized design; each treatment had four replicate with ten
birds each. The diets were: group A (100% AFM); group B (75% AFM and 25% HFM); group C (50% AFM and 50%
HFM); group D (25% AFM and 75% HFM); and group E (100% HFM). Results indicated that inclusion level of 5 to
10 percent of HFM replaced to AFM in the diets gave significant reduction of feed intake and body weight. However, the
diets had no significantly influenced FCR of broilers compared to the control group. The IOFC for treatment 5 obtained the
highest income and the lowest was treatment 1. The percent of nutrients retention were highest in AFM, intermediate to
lowest in HFM diet. It can be concluded that keeping in view the results of FCR, the author suggest that feather meal can
replace fish meal in feed by 100 % without any negative influence on the performance of broilers.
