PENGARUH PEMBERIAN FERMENTASI AIR CUCIAN BERAS DAN TEPUNG LIMBAH JERUK DENGAN KADAR pH DAN DOSIS BERBEDA TERHADAP PERFORMA AYAM BROILER

---

The development of broiler chicken farming in Indonesia continues to increase along with the high demand for animal protein and production efficiency requirements. Broiler chickens have limitations in their digestive system, which is not yet optimal, resulting in less than optimal nutrient absorption and affecting feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion. This situation requires feed innovation through the addition of natural feed additives. Probiotics from Rice Washing Water Fermentation (RWWF) have the potential to improve the balance of gut microflora and enhance nutrient digestibility. Acidifiers from orange waste powder function to lower the pH of the digestive tract, thereby supporting enzyme activity and suppressing pathogenic bacteria. The combination of both is expected to improve feed utilization efficiency and broiler chicken performance optimally through the improvement of digestive tract physiological conditions. This study aims to determine the effect of administering probiotics from RWWF in drinking water and acidifiers from citrus waste powder in feed with different pH levels and doses on feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion of broiler chickens. The study was conducted in November to December 2025 at the Experimental Cage of the Animal Husbandry Study Program, Sriwijaya University using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replications, using 96 Day Old Chicks (DOC). The treatments were P0 (without probiotics and acidifier), P1 (RWWF pH 3 + 0.8% citrus waste powder), P2 (RWWF pH 3.5 + 1% citrus waste powder), and P3 (RWWF pH 4 + 1.2% citrus waste powder). The observed variables were feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion. The research results showed that the addition of RWWF and citrus waste powder had a significant effect (P0.05) on feed intake (36-37 grams/bird/day). The conclusion of the study is that the addition of RWWF pH 3 and citrus waste powder 0,8% improved the performance of broiler chickens.
