Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the use of chemically treated and naturally treated swamp water on broiler chicken performance. Two hundred broiler chickens were distributed into 4 treatments with 5 replications as follows; P0: = swamp water was settled for 24 hours, P1 = swamp water was settled for 24 hours then treated with 24 mg/l chlorine and 24 mg/l alum, P2 = swamp water was settled for 24 hours then treated with 48 mg/l chitosan, and P3 = swamp water was settled for 24 hours then treated with 48 mg/l chitosan and filtered with a commercial filter. The results showed that the treatment had no significant effect (P>0.05) on drinking water consumption, feed intake, body weight, body weight gain, and feed conversion of broiler chickens. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of chitosan in swamp water treatment tends to improve broiler chicken performance. Swamp water treatment in this study was not able to meet the feed intake standards for broilers.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of maggot meal inclusion in diets containing senduduk leaves on the egg production performance of quails from the onset of laying to peak production. The basal diet included 4% senduduk leaves in all treatments. A completely randomized design was applied with four treatments, five replications, and eight quails per replicate. The treatments consisted of different levels of maggot meal: 0% (P0), 5% (P1), 10% (P2), and 15% (P3). Measured variables included feed intake, egg production, egg weight, egg mass, and feed conversion ratio. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test for significant effects. The results showed that maggot meal inclusion had no significant effect (P>0.05) on feed intake, which ranged from 143.19 to 145.49 g/bird/week. However, it significantly affected (P<0.01) egg production, egg weight, egg mass, and feed conversion ratio. Egg production in P0 (2.59 eggs/bird/week) was significantly lower than in P1 (4.04), P2 (3.50), and P3 (4.66). Similarly, egg weight and egg mass were significantly lower in P0 compared to other treatments. Feed conversion ratio was significantly higher in P0 (6.8) than in P1 (3.61), P2 (4.14), and P3 (2.96). In conclusion, maggot meal can be included up to 15% in diets containing 4% senduduk leaves to partially replace concentrate without reducing quail egg production performance.

Abstract

The research materials consisted of 80 commercial laying hens maintained for 8 weeks. The hens were kept in battery cages, each containing four birds, equipped with feeders and drinkers, as well as tools for measuring egg quality. The feed used during the production period consisted of ground corn (50%), rice bran (25%), and concentrate (25%) with nutrient content of 2900 kcal/kg metabolizable energy, 17.5% crude protein, 3% calcium (Ca), and 1.6% phosphorus (P). This study employed an experimental method by measuring egg weight and yolk color with the addition of turmeric powder supplementation. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. The treatments were: P0 (control), P1 (1% turmeric powder), P2 (2% turmeric powder), and P3 (3% turmeric powder). The results of analysis of variance showed that the addition of turmeric powder had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on egg weight, but had a highly significant effect (P < 0.01) on yolk color. It can be concluded that supplementation of 2–3% turmeric powder improves yolk color, with the highest yolk color observed in P3 (3% turmeric powder).
