Summary:The purpose of this study was to determine the potential addition of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) carcass meal in the formulation of sangkuriang catfish (Clarias gariepinus) feed. H. illucens carcass is an alternative raw material that can be used to replace the main raw material, namely fish meal. The formulated test feed contains 37-38% protein. Performances of t test feed control were compared using DMRT (Duncan Multipkle Range Test). C. gariepinus measuring 5-7 cm were randomly stocked into 15 aquariums with an aquarium size of 100 x 50 x 51 cm. Each aquarium contained 25 C. gariepinus, which were fed as much as 6% of the total weight of all C. gariepinus tested during 35 days of maintenance. The results showed that the growth of C. gariepinus was significantly different between the test feed formulation with 50% carcass meal and the control feed (P<0.05). Based on these results, 50% concentration of H. illucens carcass meal has the potential to be used as raw material for C. gariepinus feed.
