Abstract

The objective of this study was to see whether addition bentonite to quail rations affected egg weight, shell weight, and shell thickness. For a period of three months, this study was carried out in the cage of Fapet Farm, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Jambi University. The instruments and materials utilized in this investigation were quails aged 49 days, with up to 180 quails, and 20 units of quail cages measuring 60 x 45 x 45 cm each unit, with 9 quails in each unit. Bentonite, yellow corn, fish meal, bone meal, bran, CaCO3, soy meal, premix, lysine, methionine, and oil had been used as diet components. This study used a group randomized design (GRD) with 5 groups and 4 treatments. The treatments were P0 (0% bentonite), P1 (1% bentonite), P2 (2% bentonite), and P3 (3% bentonite). Feed consumption, drinking water intake, egg weight, shell weight, and thickness are among the variables that had been determined. The data collected was analyzed using ANOVA, and Duncan's Multiple Range Test was employed if the treatment had a statistically significant impact on the measured variables. The study found that utilizing bentonite up to 3% had no influence on feed consumption, water consumption, egg production, or egg weight or thickness. Conclusion: The addition of bentonite to quail diets had no effect on egg weight, shell weight, or shell thickness

Abstract

The limited availability of suitable land for oil palm cultivation encourages farmers to utilise tidal peatlands. However, tidal peatlands are considered less appropriate for oil palm plants. The utilisation of tidal peatlands for oil palm plantations hurts production, productivity, and income received by farmers if farmers do not apply standardised cultivation techniques. This study aims to analyse the application of independent oil palm cultivation techniques, the amount of income of independent oil palm farmers, and the efficiency level of independent oil palm production on tidal peatlands in Indragiri Hilir Regency. The sampling method used was the Accidental Sampling method with 40 samples. This study was conducted in two sub-districts in Indragiri Hilir Regency, namely Kempas District and Tempuling District, using GAP analysis of oil palm cultivation techniques, analysis of farm income and analysis of production efficiency with stochastic frontier. The results of the study indicate that the application of oil palm cultivation techniques on tidal peatlands has not followed the recommendations set by the Palm Oil Research Centre (PPKS) by the principles of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). Of the 11 recommended cultivation techniques, only land clearing, weed control, planting patterns, and harvesting were applied 100 per cent. The average production of oil palm on tidal peatlands reached 31,181 kg/year, with a productivity of 10,055 kg/ha/year. The average production cost incurred by farmers was Rp9.530.672/ha/year. The total income of farmers reached Rp19.432.482/ha/year, while the average net income of farmers was Rp.9.901.809/ha/year. All farmers who farm oil palm on tidal peatlands have achieved technical efficiency, but are not yet allocatively and economically efficient.
