Abstract
In this study, an alternative combined method to treat chicken feathers to be used as a filling material has been developed. The proposed method for treatment of chicken feathers is based on the combination of aldehyde treatment and acid-alum method including less harmful chemical usage with fewer number of processing steps. A number of international standard tests such as oxygen index number, turbidity, moisture, content analysis (composition), odor test have been applied on the treated chicken feathers in order to determine whether it is suitable to be used as a filling material. Results showed that with less harmful chemical usage, presenting chicken feathers with fluffy structure and almost white in color after treatment, the proposed method offers a good alternative in treatment of chicken feathers by providing the demanded physical properties.
