Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic acids in kandis acids solution as acidifier on broiler performance. Totally 300 broiler of hybro strain was devided into four groups. This study used a Completely Randomized Design consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications. Each replication consisted of 15 chickens. Experimental group P1, P2, and P3 received kandis acid which was contained organic acids in the form of solution as acidifier with pH 4, pH 3 dan pH 2 for 3 weeks. Control group (n=75) received drinking water without any additives. The variables that were measured in the experiment are feed consumption, water consumption, organic acid consumption, body weight, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, mortality, and income over feed cost. All data collected within the present study were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and if there were significant differences further tests needed to performed with Duncan’s multiple range test by SPSS version 25. There were no significant performance differences among broilers given with different kandis acid solution with different acidity degrees until 35 d of age (P>0.05). From these results, it can be concluded that water with addition of kandis acid as acidifier with different degrees of acidity not affect the broiler growth performance.
