Nutritional Assessment of Soaked-Boiled-Fermented Jackfruit (Artocarpus Heterophyllus) Seed Meal for Broiler Chickens

Abstract

Chemical analysis and one feeding trial (0 - 5 weeks) were conducted to assess the nutritional value of Jackfruit seeds (JS) that had been subjected to a combination of soaking, boiling, and fermentation (SBF). Five diets were formulated with the processed Jackfruit seed meal (JSM) representing 0, 8, 16, 24, and 32% of the diet DM.
