Abstract

The anchovy waste and Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) have the potential to be used as protein substitutes in poultry feed because they are less expensive and easier to obtain than other sources of animal protein. The results from this study showed for the chick weight, the control group recorded the lowest weight with 6 grams compared to the Treatments 1 and 2 with 7.5 grams respectively. The egg weight was significantly different (p<0.05) for the Treatment 1 (50% BSFL + 50% anchovy waste) and 2 (25% BSFL + 75% anchovy waste), while the differences among chick weight (p>0.05), on the other hand, it had no significant differed in all groups. The highest egg production was found in Treatment 1. However, Treatment 2 was resulted the highest FR (p>0.05), HR (p>0.05) and HFE (p>0.05) as 100%, 21.53% and 21.53%, respectively. The total embryonic mortality rate for the treatment 2 (84.62%) was the highest (p>0.05) as compared to 65.38% and 40% for the treatment 1 and control group, respectively. In conclusion, this analysis showed a positive impact which was evidenced by the treatment 2 group consisting of 25% BSFL and 75% anchovy by-products as a protein source composition
