Provision of animal feed 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 Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens-BSF) can be a composition of broiler chicken feed. This study aims to determine the differences in BSF chicken feed (60% BSF and 40% PB-commercial feed) 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 wing, leg quarter, dan forequarter. This study broiler chickens were cultivated for 33 days with 60% treatment of PK and PB feed. The proximate content of broiler chicken and meat were analyzed descriptively, and 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 PB contains the same water, protein, fat, carbohydrate, feed energy except the ash content. The treatment of feed PK and PB provided the complete proximate content of the same broiler chicken. The treatment of PK and PB treatment on broiler chicken growth towards DFI, DWG, FCR, AD, and ECD was the same except FBW. While the feeding of treatments PK and PB on the weight of 3-joint wings is the same while the carcass, leg quarter, and forequarter weights are not the same. Based on this study it can be concluded that BSF chicken feed has not been able to provide the same harvest weight as commercial chicken feed.
