Abstract
A research evaluating the effects of utilization of “goroho” banana (Musa acuminafe,sp ) stem meal as an alternative
feed on broiler performance. “Goroho” banana stem was collected from Kawangkoan, Minahasa region in North
Sulawesi Indonesia. 100 of one week old chick broilers strain CP 707 were used. Completely randomized design
(CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications was used and each replication consisted of five birds. The treatments
were R0 = 0% of “goroho” banana stem meal in the ration; R1 = 2.85 % of “goroho” banana stem meal in the ration
(‘goroho’ banana stem substituting 5% corn); R2 = 5.70 % “goroho” banana stem meal in the ration (‘goroho’
banana stem substituting 10% corn), and R3 = 8.55 % “goroho” banana stem meal in the ration (‘goroho’ banana
stem substituting 15% corn). Variables measured were ration consumption, average body gain, feed conversion,
carcass percentage and percentage of abdominal lipid. Analysis of variance showed that there were no significant
effects (P>0.05) on ration consumption and percentage of abdominal lipid; however, there were significant
effects (P<0.05) on average body gain, feed conversion, and carcass percentage. Tukey test showed that average
body gain and feed conversion of R0 (863.39 g and 2.14) and R1 (844.39 g and 2.19) were significantly higher
compared to R2 (733.66 g and 2.53) and R3 (670.66 g and 2.71). While carcass percentage of R3 (77.72%) was
lower compared to R0 (86.70 %), R1 (84,12 %) and R2 (82,40 %). It can be concluded that “goroho” banana stem
meal can be utilized up to 2,85% (substituting 5% corn) in broiler ration.
