Abstract

This study explores the possibility of using sprouted rough rice (SR) as a supplement or substitute for corn in broiler diets. The study assesses the effects of SR on growth performance, carcass quality, blood lipid profiles, hepatic enzyme activity, and fatty acid composition of broiler meat. The study employs a controlled experiment with four treatment groups (0%, 15%, 40%, and 45% SR replacement) and uses a quantitative approach to analyze independent variables (SR inclusion levels) and dependent variables (growth performance, carcass parameters, and biochemical indicators). Results show that higher SR inclusion significantly improves growth performance and carcass quality while maintaining stable blood lipid profiles and hepatic enzyme activity. SR also improves the fatty acid profile of broiler meat by increasing beneficial fatty acids. These results show that SR is a viable and nutritious alternative to corn in poultry feed, filling research gaps and providing insights into its practical applications. Future research should explore long-term impacts and interaction effects with other feed ingredients to maximize SR's utility in broiler diets.
