Abstract

The IAARD has develop KUB-1, Sensi-1 Agrinak chickens and their cross breeding as a source of alternative protein. This research aimed to gain more data and information related to by-product potencies of farming this chicken. The sample used were 210 chickenswhich was treated carefully. The data was taken at 6-12 weeks of slaughtered-age. The observed variables were the weight of blood, feather and internal organs respectively. The 3x7 complete randomized factorial designof experiment was used. The data was analysed by means of the analysis of variance using of GenStat software. Furthermore, the results show that KUB-1 chicken had more by-product potential such as blood and internal organ among thechickens being investigated and was significantly affected by the slaughter-age (P<0.01). The percentage of internal organs to the living weight of the superior native chickens was as much as 17% greater than that of native chickens. Meanwhile, by-product of feathers of superior native chicken was as much weight as broiler’s feathers. The slaughter-age has no significant effect on feathers by-product of superior native chicken (P>0.05). In the other hand the potency of economic value of internal organ per kilogramwas between Rp. 19.000 - 27.000 which was affected by the weight of internal organ.
