Provision of animal fees is the biggest input in the livestock industry. The use of protein from fish meal for animal feed imposes a fairly high price. Larvae flour of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) can be a composition of broiler chicken feed. This study aims to determine the differences in BSF chicken feed (60% commercial feed + 40% BSF feed) (PA) and commercial chicken feed (PK) on the complete proximate content (water, ash, protein, fiber, fat, carbohydrate, energy) feed and meat, broiler chicken (Gallus domesticus) Cobb strain growth with parameters Final Body Weight (FBW), Daily Feed Intake (DFI), Daily Weight Gain (DWG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Approximate Digestibility (AD), Efficiency of Conversion Digestibility (ECD), and carcass weight, 3-joint wings, leg quarter, and forequarter. In this study, broiler chickens were cultivated for 33 days with 60% commercial feed + 40% BSF feed (PA) and commercial feed (PK). The proximate content of broiler chicken and meat were analyzed descriptively, the growth and carcass weight of broiler chickens were analyzed by t-test statistics (T test, ? = 0.05). The results of this study indicate that the treatment of PK and PA feed contains the same water, fat, feed energy, but the ash, protein, fiber, and carbohydrate are not the same. The treatment of PK and PA on complete proximate content have the same results except water and protein. The treatment of PK and PA of broiler chicken towards DFI, DWG, FCR, AD, and ECD are the same except FBW. The treatment of PK and PA on carcass weight, leg quarter, forequarter are not the same but on 3-joint wings is same. Based on this study, it can be conclude that BSF chicken feed has not be able to replace commercial chicken feed yet.
