Mix of cassava pulp, napier grass, and enzymes can be used as low cost alternative feed ingredient for laying hens

Breeders of edible eggs, using various crosses of chickens, try to reduce the cost of production. In this regard, interests of hen crosses that produce egg products with low feed costs and low cost. One of these egg crosses of hens is “Lohmann brown light”. At the same time, domestic poultry farms successfully use the “Lohmann Braun classic”cross poultry. The aim of the study was to evaluate the egg productivity indicators of laying hens of the industrial herd of crosses “Lohmann brown classic”and” Lohmann brown light”. The study was carried out in the conditions of LLC Poultry Farm “Varaksino” of the Udmurt Republic. For the research, 2 groups of hens were formed, consisting of 6 batches each. As a result, hens of the studied crosses were characterized by approximately the same viability and level of livestock preservation – 94.1 – 94.3 %. Crosses of hens “Lohmann brown classic” and “Lohmann brown light” had minor differences in quantitative and qualitative indicators of egg production. Thus, egg production for the initial and average laying hens in the groups was at the level of 348.2 – 350.5 and 353 – 355.2 eggs, respectively. The amount of egg mass from the cross “Lohmann brown classic” hens was 22.9 kg, and from the cross “Lohmann brown light” - 22.6 kg. On an equal background of feeding, there were no differences in the cost of feed for the production of 10 eggs (1.29 – 1.31 kg) and 1 kg of egg mass (2.03 – 2.05 kg) in the studied hen crosses.

Abstract Tilapia (Oreochromis sp) is the one commodity that very popular in the public. Besides low cost, good taste, protein content is also high. Feed is an element that is very supportive in an aquaculture operations. The main raw material in the artificial feed is fish meal and soy flour because it has a high protein content but is relatively expensive so it needs an alternative feed material. The purpose of this study is improve knowledge and skilled about feeding alternative production of vegetable waste and its effect on the growth of black tilapia. Study was conducted in Freshwater Aquaculture Management Unit which located in Kepanjen District, Malang Regency, Province of East Java started from January 20th until February 14th 2014. Work method which used was descriptive method by collecting primary data and secondary data. The data was collected by active participation, observation, interviewing, and study paper. The process of making feed alternative vegetable waste composed by several stage is preparation tools and materials, counting materials, production additives, blending, mixing, fermentation, and storage. The results of the evaluation of growth black tilapia feeding vegetable wastes little slow because of the low protein content
