This study aims to determine the Consumption and Conversion of Broiler Chickens Raised in Postal Closed House Type Cages. The material in this study was broiler chickens aged 0 days to 28 days. The cage used was the Postal Closed House Type Cages owned by CV Wahidah. The parameters observed were temperature, cage humidity, feed consumption and conversion. Data were taken descriptively qualitatively. The results showed that the maintenance temperature was 26.5-32.5 oC, with humidity of 62.9-73.5%. Feed consumption was 2.88-3.02 Kg/head/week. Feed conversion ranged from 1.03-2.07. The conclusion of this study is that the temperature and humidity of the cage are still below standard. Feed consumption and feed conversion are still below standard. Suggestions need to be considered for cage temperature to reduce heat stress.
