Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of substituting commercial feed with BSF maggot flour (Hermetia illucens) on the performance and productivity of laying quail. One hundred (100) 20 days-old laying quails with an initial weight of 2.9±8.26 g/head were divided into four treatments with five replicates per treatment using the completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments were T1 (0% BSF maggot flour as control), T2 (1.50% BSF maggot flour and 98.5% commercial feed), T3 (2% BSF maggot flour and 98% commercial feed), and T4 (2.50% BSF maggot flour and 97.5% commercial feed). The parameters measured were feed intake (g/head/mg), the body weight at first egg-laying (g/head), age at first egg-laying (days), the weight of first egg (g/grain), daily egg production (%), quail egg weight (g/item), and feed conversion ratio. The results showed that BSF maggot flour in commercial rations significantly affected feed intake (P<0.05) with a consumption range of 153-154 g/head/week.  However, the provision of BSF maggot flour up to 2.50% of commercial feed had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the body weight at first egg-laying, the age at the first egg laying, the weight of the first egg, daily egg production (%), egg weight (g/grain), and feed conversion ratio. This study shows that substituting 2% maggot BSF flour in commercial rations can increase feed intake and maintain egg production, weight, and conversion. Furthermore, giving BSF maggot flour to a level of 2.50% could not improve the body weight at the first laying of quail and the age at the first egg-laying.Keywords egg weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, BSF maggot

Abstract

Elephant grass is a common forage for livestock fodder, yet it is prone to damage and requires preservation through silage-making techniques. This study was investigating the potential usage of expired commercial syrup (ECS) as a source of glucose in elephant grass silage production. The research used a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and five replications. Treatments included a control group that consist of elephant grass (P1/control), and four supplemented grasses with ECS at levels of 2.50% (P2), 5% (P3), 7.50% (P4), and 10% (P5) based on dry matter (DM). After ensiling for 30 days at room temperature, various parameters were measured, i.e. aroma, texture, color, fungal growth, pH, dry matter, dry matter loss (DML), and fleigh value. Data were analysis using analysis of variance, followed by Duncan's test. The results revealed that ECS incorporation up to 10% DM had a significant influence on the evaluated parameters (p<0,05). The results showed P5 received the highest ratings from panellists for aroma (3.75; distinctive fermented acidity), texture (3.61; fine and non-clumping), and color (3.54; green). Additionally, P5 exhibited minimal fungal growth (1.57%), an optimal pH range (3.24-4.56), the highest dry matter content (31.4%), the lowest dry matter loss (2.27%), and the highest fleigh value (138). The research concluded that expired commercial syrup could use as a stimulant additive in elephant grass ensiling, effectively.

Abstract

Avocado seed meal, a part of the avocado plant that is rich in antioxidants and various other nutrients and non-nutrient substances, has great potential to be utilized as an herbal additive in animal feed. This study aims to determine the effect of molasses addition on the nutrient profile and quality of avocado seed meal silage. The control treatment (P1) used plain avocado seed flour, while the experimental treatments (P2, P3, P4, and P5) incorporated increasing molasses concentrations of 1%, 1.50%, 2%, and 2.50% of dry matter, respectively. All treatments were silaged for 30 days at room temperature. Key parameters measured were nutrient content, temperature, pH, fungal growth, physical and fresh silage quality, dry matter loss, and Fleigh value. The data obtained were analyzed based on analysis of variance, differences in parameter values between treatments were further tested with DMRT at the 5% significance level. Results indicated that molasses significantly enhanced the silage's nutrient content and improved its physical and fresh quality by optimizing temperature, reducing dry matter loss, and increasing Fleigh value (P<0.05). The conclusion of this study suggests that adding 2.50% molasses can produce the highest-quality avocado seed meal silage as an optimal herbal feed for livestock.
