Soybean meal and grain corn are feedstuffs that normally used as the main ingredients in poultry feeds as a source of protein and energy in tropical countries. The availability of these feedstuffs for broiler nutrition nowadays is becoming more competitive. Thus, food security, especially in the developing countries, would be susceptible. Currently, efforts are being made to use alternative feedstuffs as a sustainable feed resources to substitute portion of soybean meal and grain corn in poultry diets due to their high price since both of the raw material were imported. In Malaysia, usage of PKC is common in ruminant diets, but limited in the non-ruminant diets especially in poultry diets due to the high fiber content of PKC. Several works have been conducted to increase the nutritional contents of PKC as one of the measures to reduce and/or eliminate the constraints of utilizing PKC in poultry diets. The method used to achieve this target is either through physical, chemical, biological or combination of these treatments. This paper discusses the use of PKC as the sustainable feed resources that can be incorporated in the poultry feeds. Hence, emphasis should be given to improve nutritional values of PKC in order to reduce feeding cost of poultry.

Soybean meal and yellow corn are conventional feedstuffs used as the main ingredients in poultry feeds due to their high nutrients availability. On the other hand, these two feedstuffs are high in demand by other animals (soybean meal) and humans (yellow corn). By the year 2050, the world’s population is expected to increase up to 9.1 billion. Global consumption of poultry products, such as meat or eggs is increasing predominantly in developing countries. Consequently, the global demand for poultry feedstuffs would increase. The availability of feedstuffs for poultry nutrition nowadays is becoming more competitive. Thus, food security, especially in the developing countries, would be threatened. Currently, efforts are being made to use alternative feedstuffs to substitute portion of soybean meal and yellow corn in poultry diets. This chapter discusses the alternative feedstuffs that can be incorporated in poultry feeds. In addition, the nutritive content and availability are examined as well as how to improve the nutritive quality of such nontraditional feedstuffs.

Expense of feed represent the expense of biggest in conservancy of broiler (about 70 %). Breeder most still wear factory feed which is its raw material still import. Therefore, feed need local ingredient, so that price of feed earn cheaperly. This reseach done at Rancamaya, Bogor region to know effect of using local ingredient for broiler performance. Treatment in this reseach are using local feed (R0); local feed with probiotic Semai (R1); local feed with probiotic Fermacto (R2), local feed with probiotic Broiler-NL (R3) and factory feed (R4). Local feed and local feed with probiotic are feed with self formulation (R0, R1, R2 and R3). The local ingredient used are corn, rice brand, fish meal, hull soybean meal, grit, DCP, premix. Parameters measured were feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and economic aspects. The result of reseach shows that feed with self formulation (local feed with probiotic Broiler-NL = R3) are best alternatif to pressure high price of feed and useable by farmer.Biaya pakan merupakan biaya terbesar dalam pemeliharaan ayam broiler (sekitar 70 %). Peternak sebagian besar masih memakai pakan pabrik yang bahan bakunya masih impor. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pakan berbahan baku lokal, sehingga harga pakan bisa lebih murah. Penelitian ini dilakukan didaerah Bogor untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan bahan pakan lokal terhadap performan ayam broiler . Perlakuan dalam penelitian, adalah : penggunaan pakan lokal (R0); pakan lokal dengan probiotik Semai (R1); pakan lokal dengan probiotik Fermacto (R2), pakan lokal dengan probiotik Broiler - NL (R3) dan pakan pabrik (R4). Pakan lokal dan pakan lokal ditambah probiotik adalah pakan dengan formulasi sendiri (R0, R1, R2 and R3). Adapun bahan baku lokal yang digunakan adalah jagung, dedak padi, tepung ikan, bungkil kedelai, grit , DCP, premix. Parameter yang diukur adalah konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan, rasio konversi ransum dan aspek ekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pakan dengan formulasi sendiri (pakan lokal dengan probiotik Broiler-NL = R3) memberikan alternatif terbaik, sehingga dapat menekan tingginya harga pakan dan bisa digunakan oleh petani.Keywords: probiotic, local feed, performance, broiler.

Recently, production of poultry by – product meal (PBPM) has been increased in the northwest of Iran, East Azarbijan. PBPM has a profile of available essential amino acids and is rich in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin B12 (NRC 1994). The chemical composition and mineral content can vary greatly depending on raw material and processing conditions. In our country, fish meal is a common ingredient as animal protein in poultry diets. However, fish meal is imported at high cost. In recent years, there have been attention paid to PBPM supplementation in diets by East Azarbijan poultry feed industry. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, mineral content and to study the effects of different dietary concentration (3, 6 and 9%) of PBPM on broiler performance.

The large number of rice fields in Borikamase Village, resulting in high production of hay, requires an appropriate effort to use straw into organic fertilizer or bokashi which is environmentally friendly as well as safe for plants. The use of straw into bokashi or organic fertilizer needs to be taught to the farming community, so the community service team focuses on providing assistance and training to the community in utilizing straw as a raw material in making bokashi by using microorganisms as the source of fermentation. In addition, the high price of synthetic fertilizers on the market makes farmers in Borikamase Village feel heavy in providing nutritional supplies to their agricultural areas, so that this training is expected to help farmers by obtaining fertilizers that are cheap, safe, and of good quality to fertilize. The existence of biotechnology applications, provides the right solution in overcoming the damage to bald mountains and the scarcity and high price of synthetic fertilizers, namely by processing straw into bokashi or organic fertilizers with high nutrient content and are safe for the environment. In addition, providing knowledge and skills for farming communities as agents of reform in restoring ecosystem balance through the application of bokashi made of straw on rice fields.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of collection durations on the energy values and nutrient digestibility of high-fiber diets in growing pigs with a time-based total fecal collection method. A total of 24 barrows (body weight (BW): 31.1 ± 1.5 kg) were allotted to a completely randomized design with three diets. Diets included a corn–soybean meal (CSM) basal diet and two additional diets containing 20% sugar beet pulp (SBP) or defatted rice bran (DFRB) by replacing corn, soybean meal, and soybean oil in the CSM diet, respectively. Each diet was fed to eight barrows for a 7-day adaptation period followed by a 7-day total feces and urine collection period. The 7-day collection duration was divided into three collection phases, namely, phase 1 (days 8 to 11), phase 2 (days 11 to 13), and phase 3 (days 13 to 15). Then, similar portions of feces and urine from the different collection phases were composited into three additional samples (days 8 to 11, days 8 to 13, and days 8 to 15, respectively). The results showed that the digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE) and nutrient in experimental diets decreased linearly as the collection durations increased from a 3-day to a 7-day collection (p < 0.05). However, there were no differences in the energy values, GE, and nutrient digestibility of diets and of high-fiber ingredients between the 5-day and 7-day collection durations. In conclusion, this study suggests that a 5-day collection duration is adequate to determine the energy values and nutrient digestibility of high-fiber diets containing SBP or DFRB in growing pigs by the time-based total fecal collection method.

The use of supplementary fat in commercial poultry diets has been wide-spread since the 1960s. In addition to their value as a dense source of energy, supplemental fats are an excellent source of essential fatty acids and enhance the absorption of fat soluble vitamins. The efficiency of nutrient digestion in poultry largely depends on the microorganisms which live naturally in its digestive tract (Apajalahti et al. 2003). It has been reported that intestinal microflora influences the absorption of fats (Pesti, 2002).Today, antibiotics and probiotics are used for manipulating the gut microflora in poultry production and act as growth-promoting agents. Thus, using these growth promoters (GP) will probably affect nutrients absorption, especially of dietary fats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementary antibiotics and probiotics in diets containing different levels of fat on broiler performance.
