Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the productivity and feed efficiency of laying hens through a comparative analysis of two commercial feed types, Feed A and Feed B. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing independent samples t-test and Revenue to Cost (R/C) ratio analysis. Sample size was determined using Slovin's formula based on uniform criteria of flock size, age, and cage dimensions, resulting in a minimum requirement of 385 hens. To improve accuracy, 2952 Lohmann Brown hens (35–54 weeks old) were used, distributed equally in two cages of 1476 hens each. Key performance indicators included Hen Day Production (HDP), egg mass (g/hen/week), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), and net income. The results showed that Feed B provided better performance across all metrics. HDP for Feed B reached 91.49%, higher than Feed A at 88.75%. Total egg mass produced per cage for Feed B was 1638 kg, exceeding Feed A at 1554 kg. Feed B also recorded a more favorable FCR (2.14 vs. 2.25), indicating more efficient feed utilization. Economically, although Feed B was slightly more expensive (IDR 6,352/kg) than Feed A (IDR 6,268/kg), it generated a higher net income of IDR 6,434,870 for the total flock (2952 hens) over the study period. The R/C ratio for Feed B was 1.21, compared to 1.15 for Feed A, indicating relatively greater profitability. These findings suggest that Feed B is a more efficient and economically advantageous option for commercial layer operations aiming to optimize productivity and returns.

Abstract

Until now, many genetically engineered products have met our basic needs and provided various benefits. However, there are still many who doubt or even reject them. This raises the question of how the public's knowledge and understanding of these biotechnological plants stand. This research aims to analyze whether public actions in adopting biotechnology are influenced by their knowledge and perceptions. This survey used a questionnaire with 535 respondents. The results show that about 70% of respondents have limited knowledge about biotechnology, with information channels including print media, social media, and interpersonal communication. About 75% of respondents agree that biotechnology can enhance agricultural productivity, the economy, and farmers' welfare, as well as contribute to food security. Furthermore, 76% of respondents agree to purchase these products. PLS-SEM analysis reveals a strong positive relationship between knowledge, perceptions, and positive attitudes toward biotechnology products. Therefore, enhancing information dissemination through various alternative media and involving stakeholders need to be strengthened in the future.
