Abstract

This research was aimed to determine the effect of ant nest treatment (Myrmecodia pendans) on quail production and performance. Research sample was 250 quails. Ant nest was administered in 5 treatments and 5 replications: P0 (0%) as control treatment, P1 (0.2%), P2 (0.4%), P3 (0.6%), and P4 (0.8 %) treatments. Data were collected from quails at 28 days to 70 days old. Variables measured were the performance and quail's egg production. This study was designed using completely randomized design. Real significant difference was examined utilizing Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Analysis of variance result showed that ant nest provides significant influence to feed intake and Hen Day Production (P <0.05). The highest average of feed consumption is treatment P4 (0.8%), whereas treatment P0 (0%) was the lowest average for feed consumption. Feed conversion rate in treatment P4 (0.8%) was more efficient compared to other treatments. Ant nests administering did not result significantly different (P> 0.05) to feed conversion and egg mass. The results of the study concluded that higher ant nest administration is capable of increasing quails feed intake and Hen Day Production. Keywords: basal feed, flavonoids, productivity.

Abstract

Caesalpinia sappan L. is a phytobiotic plant that serves as an antibacterial. Active compound such as flavonoids in the C. sappan L. extract acts as an antibacterial. The  protein food sources in Indonesia including poultry such as quail. Several studies demonstrated that quail are very susceptible to bacterial infections including Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Thus C. sappan has been used as food additive for quail in laying eggs. This research objective was to study the effects of C. sappan L. extract against intestinal miclofora of quail in laying eggs. This study used 168 quails with 4 treatments and 5 replications, each treatment used 7 quails. This study used 4 Wood Extract C. sappan L. treatment with different concentrations including 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%. The results showed that administration of Extract Wood C. sappan L. was not significantly different (P> 0.05) to the total number of bacteria E. coli with the average P0 (6.0903 Log CFU), P1 (6.0903 log CFU), P2 (6.0887 Log CFU), and P3 (6.0868 Log CFU). Meanwhile, it was significantly different (P <0.05) to the total number of Salmonella bacteria in the gut laying with the average number of bacteria P0 (5.4059 Log CFU), P1 (5.4048 Log CFU), P2 (5.4045 Log CFU), and P3 (5.4039 Log CFU). It is concluded that flavonoids compounds in C. sappan L. extract could decrease the number of Salmonella, but not E. coli, in the intestine of quail.Keywords: Caesalpinia sappan L., Eschericia coli, Flavonoid, Salmonella.

Abstract

This research aimed to examine the effects of fish oil and tomato powder supplementation on egg quality of Mojosari ducks. A total of one hundred and forty Mojosari ducks (consisted of 20 male and 120 female ducks), aged at 40 weeks old, were randomly allotted into 20 flocks (each flock consisted of 1 male and 6 female ducks). Method used was experiment in a Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Dietary treatments used were T0: basal diet (control), T1: basal diet + 1% FO, T2: basal diet + 2% FO, T3: basal diet + 1% FO + 1% TP; T4: basal diet + 2% FO + 1% TP. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Result showed that supplementation of fish oil and tomato powder did not significantly affect (P>0.05) external egg quality (egg shape index, shell surface area, shell thickness and specific gravity). Dietary treatments also had no significant effect (P>0.05) on internal egg quality (albumen volume, yolk volume, albumen index, yolk index and Haugh unit). It is concluded that there was no detrimental effect of fish oil and tomato powder supplementation in Mojosari ducks diet on external and internal egg quality.Keywords: antioxidant, Haugh unit, laying duck, omega-3 fatty acids, poultry.
