Rabbit manure, b goat manure, c. cow manure d. Chicken manure. From the results of observations, it turns out that in various treatments, both rabbit, goat, and cow manure. Chicken manure can increase the weight and length of the BSF magot higher than the others. Chicken manure is thought to have a better protein and carbohydrate content, resulting in less mortality
