Abstract

The research has been made in Laboratory of Animal Husbandry Biology, Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, September up to October 2008. The objective of the research would be to know the application level of semak bunga putih leaf powder (Chromolaena odorata) in broiler ration. The parameter measured in this research included total cost of production, production total, profit/loss, break event point (BEP) of production cost, break event point (BEP) of production volume and income over feed cost (IOFC). The research used 100 broilers of Abror Acress-CP 707 strain. This research also used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatment and five replications, the treatments were the percentage of semak bunga putih flour (Chromolaena odorata), i.e.,P0 (without semak bunga putih flour), P1 (5% of semak bunga putih flour), P2 (10% of semak bunga putih flour) P3 (15 % of semak bunga putih flour). The result of research indicated that highest average parameter of total production cost was Rp. 21574,89 and from least variance test, the application of bunga putih flour (Chromolaena odorata) indicated a significantly different (0,05 > P P 01) at each other treatment; the highest average of IOFC parameter was Rp. 1263,3. In conclusion, the application of semak bunga putih flour (Chromolaena odorata) did not make economic profit.
