In this study, the impact of skipjack tuna offal meal on the nutrient digestibility of local chicken was assessed, with a focus on its short chain fatty acid and omega content. The initial phase involved conducting a skipjack tuna offal meal experiment using a complete randomized design with 3 treatments and 9 replications to examine the short chain fatty acid and omega content. Following this, a second experiment was conducted using 24 male Kampong Unggul Balitnak (KUB) local chickens, employing a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replications. The feed treatments consisted of T0 (basal feed), T1 (basal feed with 10% fresh skipjack tuna offal meal), T2 (basal feed with 10% steamed skipjack tuna offal meal), and T3 (basal feed with 10% fermented skipjack tuna offal meal). Data were collected and analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in nutrient digestibility when skipjack tuna offal meal was used as a fish meal replacement. In conclusion, fermented skipjack tuna offal meal was recommended as a source protein for local chickens. © (2024) Licensee ResearchersLinks Ltd, England, UK. ResearchersLinks Ltd.
