The mentoring was carried out for 3 months, from May to July 2021. The accompaniment method group assistance was counseling and practice to make rice bran fermentation along guidance of raised KUB Chicken in Yayasan Seraphine Sleman’s demonstrated cage. In this practice, are used 100 pullet of KUB chickens. The maintenance is starts from the 12-week-old pullet until laying. The chicken start to laying egg at 24th week, with weight average around 1.420 g. The first two weeks, production was reached 12%, with average egg weight of 32 g/egg, feed consumption reaching 98 g/chicken. This indicated for normal growth. During 14 weeks of maintenance, necessary feed is 7.84 kg, and cost reduction was Rp. 10.976/chicken or Rp. 1.400/kg. Based on the demonstration plot, it can be concluded that rice bran fermentation can reduce of cost production, but it can lay egg delayed for up to 2 weeks, so it can be an alternative feed to reduce production cost of small business KUB chicken.
