The purpose of this research was to see the potential for adding calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) from chicken eggshells to the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Feed Efficiency in white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation in freshwater conditions. This research was conducted for 30 days. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments with 5 replications. The treatments used were P0: commercial feed + 1% CMC, P1: commercial feed + 1% CMC + 1% Ca(OH)2 chicken egg shells, P2: commercial feed + 1% CMC + 2% Ca(OH)2 chicken egg shells, P3: commercial feed + 1% CMC + 4% Ca(OH)2 chicken egg shells. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to compare the control and treated groups at a significance level of P<0.05. Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used to identify significant differences in the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Feed Efficiency. The results of this research were significantly different which is the best Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) in treatment P1 and P2 with an average of 0.551 and 0.717, respectively and the best Feed Efficiency in treatment P1 and P2 with an average of 208.219% and 154.709%, respectively.
