Pemanfaatan Tepung Kemangi Sebagai Pakan Tambahan Pada Ayam Kampung Super di Desa Tangkit Baru Kabupaten Muara Jambi

Abstract

When rearing super free-range chickens, they require quality feed to provide optimal results.  The use of basil flour as a natural additional feed in the ration of super native chickens is expected to increase body weight, carcass weight and carcass percentage. The aim of this community service activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of super free-range chicken farmers (Business Groups) in using additional feed, preparing appropriate free-range chicken rations at a cheaper cost based on local resources. Apart from that, to increase the knowledge of female students, especially at the Raudhatul Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School, Tangkit Baru Village, Muaro Jambi Regency, in more efficient feed management and producing better products, so that it will increase breeders' income and ultimately improve welfare. The method used in this community service is the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method, namely a method of active interaction between activity implementers and target groups such as direct counseling and discussions. The target group is super free-range chicken farmers and female students at the Raudhatul Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School located in Tangkit Baru Village, Muaro Jambi Regency. This service activity explains the potential of super free-range chickens and local feed ingredients and the potential of basil leaf flour as a natural additional feed, how to prepare super free-range chicken feed based on local feed ingredients, maintenance management, housing and feeding as well as harvest management and marketing. In conclusion, it can be seen that there has been an increase in farmers' knowledge in raising super free-range chickens by using basil flour as a natural additional feed in Tangkit Baru Village, Muaro Jambi Regency.
