ABSTRACT

Feed management, which accounts for 70% of overall production expenses, is one of the cornerstones of effective broiler chicken farming. The effort to reduce the cost could be done by implementing the substitution of the cheaper material; however, the problem related to this alternative solution is the low nutritional value. The use of the cheaper and lower nutritional value of food could disturb the growth phase of the chicken, which in turn could not achieve the ideal weight during the harvest period. Another alternative is increasing food quality with the addition of food additives as a precursor to enhance food absorbance. The body weight, health, and nitrogen levels in faeces can all be improved by adding additives to feed. This community service's goal is to guide and support broiler chicken breeders in their usage of fish hydrolyzed for feed management. This activity was carried out in August and September 2023 in the chicken farming partner owned by Mrs. Cholili's with a production capacity of up to 20,000 in Mumbulsari village, Mumbulsari district, Jember Regency. The methods are counselling, feeding practices and assistance during the production phase. The outcome is mastering the technique for adding fish hydrolyzed to enhance the health, growth performance, and efficacy of the food consumption, which in turn reduces the production cost. This skill and knowledge could be implemented by other farmers to maximize yields by using fish hydrolyzate..
