Abstract

Nira Water is one of the typical Minang Kabau drinks of West Sumatra and may also be found in other areas. This traditional drink is favored by millennials in order to promote local wisdom. Nira water is also a raw material for the manufacture of "palm sugar" and some is processed into Tuak (alcoholic drink). Nira water is very easy to ferment so it cannot be used as a health drink, but it can still be used for livestock because it contains some lactic acid bacteria as a source of probiotics. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of nira water as a source of probiotics to improve broiler performance. This study used 100 DOC broilers given fermented nira water as much as 1%, 2%. 3%, 4% in drinking water. The variables observed were broiler performance, namely body weight gain, consumption, and ration conversion and financial analysis. Giving 3% nira water in drinking water for 30 days of maintenance, can increase broiler body weight 8.56% compared to without giving, 33.2% lower ration consumption and 5.65% lower ration conversion compared to no feeding. Financially this business is profitable with an R/C of 1.19. Nira water fermentation can be used as a source of probiotics to improve broiler performance.
