Abstract

This study aims to assess the productivity of arabian chickens through the inclusion of mealworm-based feed and evaluate the impact of organic chicken fertilizer on water spinach plant productivity. The initial phase involves descriptive analysis, followed by the implementation of a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a single factor and four replications. The treatments include compost application at rates of 0 ton/ha control (K0), compost 1 kg/m2 (K1), compost 2 kg/m2 (K2), and compost 3 kg/m2 (K3). The variables under examination include production performance, egg quality, compost quality, and the growth and production of water spinach plants. Incorporating 4% tenebrio molitor meal in the ratio sustains both ratio consumption and egg production. The Haugh value of the egg unit falls within the category of good quality. The application of compost fertilizer increases plant height and fresh production. This implies that substituting 4% tenebrio molitor meal in the ration effectively maintains both ration consumption and egg production in arabian chickens aged 29-34 weeks. Furthermore, the utilization of compost fertilizer proves instrumental in elevating the growth and production of water spinach.
