Abstract

This study aims to find out the effect of combination of fermented Indegofera leaf and corn on the growth of Arabic chicken. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment consisted of P.1: Commercial Feed; P.2: 80% Indegofera sp leaves + 20% Corn; P.3: 70% Indegofera leaves + 30% Corn; P.4: 60% Indegofera leaves + 40% Corn. Measurement of Arab chickens weight was carried out once a week for one month. The weight data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that the combination of fermented feed consisting  Indegofera sp leaves and corn had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the growth of Arab chickens. The conclusion shows that fermented feed of Indegofera leaves sp and corn as chicken diet could improve the growth of Arabian chickens.
