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

This study investigated the potency of green cincau leaves (Premna oblongifolia merr) juice as prebiotics end its effect on laying performances (feed intake, egg weight, feed conversion and hen day production) based on pH and digestive viscosity. The potency of green cincau leaves juice as prebiotic was tested. The result showed that green cincau leaves juice was effectively support growth of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) with 4.3 x 102 CFU.g-1 samples but did not support the growth of Escherichia coli. The effect of green cincau leaves juice on laying performances was examined. Two hundred fifty 56-wk-old Hisex Brown layers received different diets namely 0, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5 ml of green cincau leaves juice added in the basal feed. The method used in this study was experiment based on Completely Randomized Design and followed by Duncan’s Multiple test if significant effect occurs. The result showed that increase level of P. oblongifolia merr in feed did not significantly affect (P>0.05) feed intake, egg weight, feed conversion and hen day production.Keywords: feed additives, laying hens performance, prebiotic, Premna  oblongifolia merr juice.
