The objective of this study was to obtain enriched eggs with low cholesterol content. Forty-eight laying hens (strain Dekalb Warren) aged 72 weeks were distributed into six treatment groups as follows: 1) Laying hens fed diet without Sauropus androgynus leaf extracts (SALE), fish oil and vitamin E (P0) as the control; 2) Laying hens were fed diet with 27 g SALE/kg diet, but without fish oil (P1); 3) Laying hens were fed diet with 27 g SALE/kg diet, 1.5% fish oil (P2); 4) Laying hens were fed diet with 27 g SALE/kg diet, 1.5% fish oil and 60 mg vitamin E/kg diet (P3); 5) Laying hens were fed diet with 27 g SALE/kg diet, 3% fish oil (P4); 6) Laying hens were fed diet with 27 g SALE/kg 3% fish oil and 60 mg vitamin E/kg diet (P5). Experimental results showed that the treatments affected (P <0.05) egg production, thick eggshell, egg white height, yolk color, the odor of eggs after the split (P <0.05). It was shown that the treatments had no effect on the contents of protein, fat, β-carotene of eggs but affected the contents of cholesterol and vitamin E of eggs. In conclusion, the treatments improved egg quality and increased egg Vitamin E but reduced egg cholesterol.

Pakan merupakan salah satu faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap performa reproduksi induk ikan bandeng. Ketersediaan pelet komersial yang spesifik untuk pemeliharaan induk bandeng hingga kini belum ada sehingga perlu dilakukan pengembangan pakan untuk menghasilkan performa reproduksi yang lebih baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan produksi dan kualitas telur induk bandeng melalui aplikasi bahan pengkaya pada pakan. Penelitian dilakukan di unit pembenihan skala lengkap Desa Banyupoh dan Desa Sanggalangit, Bali Utara. Jumlah induk yang digunakan adalah 165 ekor yang dipelihara dalam dua buah bak volume 100 m3 (di Desa Banyupoh) dan 100 ekor yang dipelihara dalam dua buah bak volume 100 m3 (di Desa Sanggalangit). Perlakuan yang digunakan adalah pakan komersial dengan penambahan bahan pengkaya (pakan uji) dan tanpa penambahan bahan pengkaya pakan (pakan kontrol). Bahan pengkaya berupa emulsi yang terdiri atas lesitin, minyak cumi, minyak ikan, minyak jagung, vitamin E, dan vitamin C yang dicampur dalam pakan dengan dosis sebesar 120 g/kg pakan. Pakan diberikan secara at-satiation dengan frekuensi 2-3 kali sehari. Penelitian berlangsung selama 10 bulan. Parameter yang diamati meliputi frekuensi pemijahan, produksi, dan kualitas telur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan bahan pengkaya dalam pakan mampu meningkatkan frekuensi pemijahan induk dengan rerata sebanyak lima kali/bulan di unit pembenihan skala lengkap Desa Banyupoh dan empat kali/bulan di unit pembenihan skala lengkap Desa Sanggalangit, serta dapat meningkatkan produksi telur masing-masing sebesar 102% dan 56% dibandingkan pakan kontrol. Teknik penambahan bahan pengkaya pada pakan dapat diterapkan pada pemeliharaan induk bandeng untuk mendukung produksi telur dan frekuensi pemijahan yang baik.Feed is one of the factors affecting the reproduction performance of milkfish broodstock. Hatcheries use mostly commercial pellets to feed broodstock despite that it is not a natural feed for milkfish. Thus, the food has to be enriched to maintain or improve the spawning performance of milkfish broodstock. The purpose of this study was to improve spawning performance of milkfish broodstock through the application of enriched-formulation feed. The study was conducted at two milkfish hatcheries in Banyupoh and Sanggalangit villages, North Bali. The number of broodstock used at Banyupoh village hatchery were 165 ind reared in two 100 m3concrete tanks. In the hatchery at Sanggalangit Village, 100 fish were reared in two 100 m3 concrete tanks. The feed enrichment formulation used a mixture of lecithin, squid oil, fish oil, corn oil, vitamin E, and vitamin C. The feed enrichment formulation was prepared in emulsion form and mixed with 120 g/kg dosage of feed. As a control, the feed used was without enrichment formulation. The feeding frequency was 2-3 times per day to satiation. The experiment was carried out for 10 months. The parameters observed included egg production, egg quality and spawning frequency. The results showed that the enriched feed had increased the spawning frequency of broodstock up to five times/month at the hatchery in Banyupoh and four times/month at Sanggalangit hatchery. Egg production also had increased to 102% (Banyupoh) and 56% (Sanggalangit) compared to the control feed. This feed enrichment formulation has the potential in broodstock milkfish rearing to improve the egg production and spawning frequency.

In this study, it was investigated the effect of clove oil supplementation at increasing levels into laying hens’ diets on performance, egg quality traits, some blood parameters and yolk TBARS (Thiobarbituric Acid Reagent) values. For this purpose 96 Lohman white laying hens, 28 weeks of age, were divided into four treatment groups. Control group was fed with basal diet (C) and treatment groups were fed with diets formed by addition of clove oil at 50 ppm (CO1), 100 ppm (CO2) and 150 ppm (CO3), respectively. During the trial, feed and water were given as ad-libitum, and poultry house was illuminated for 17 hours. Experiment lasted for 13 weeks. Addition clove oil at increasing rates into diet did not affect the live weight. The data analysed as polynomial showed that supplementation of clove oil into layer diet linearly improved feed conversion ratio and increased the egg production. But, daily feed consumption, egg weight, damaged egg ratio and egg quality parameters were not affected by treatments. Serum parameters such as triglyceride, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and calcium were not affected by the clove oil supplementation. TBARS values in C, CO1, and CO2 were found higher than the CO3 group fed with diet including 150 ppm clove oil. In conclusion, clove oil at 150 ppm level in diets of laying hens could be used due to extend the egg shelf life and to decline serum cholesterol content.

This research was carried out to determine the effect of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) with or without 5, 10% vetch (V) supplementation on performance, egg quality characteristics and egg cholesterol content. In the study, seventy-five 25 weeks-old commercial white laying hens were randomly divided into one control and 4 treatment groups each containing 15 hens. Control group was fed basal diet without JA or V. Treatment group 1, 2, 3 and 4 were fed diets containing 5% V, 5% JA, 5% JA + 5% V and 10% JA + 10% V, respectively. The feeding period lasted 16 weeks. In the study, it was determined that dried-ground JA contained dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre, crude ash, inulin and metabolizable energy (ME) at the level of 93.30, 10.02, 0.36, 5.64, 9.05, 15.80% and 3 060 kcal/kg, respectively. At the end of the study, live weight was lower by 4.36&ndash;10.09% in the treatment group 10% JA + 10% V compared with the other groups, but feed efficiency was improved in this group. There were statistically significant differences between the groups in egg quality characteristics (P &lt; 0.05, P &lt; 0.001). Egg production was not affected by supplementation of 5, 10% JA with or without 5, 10% V supplementation. Egg yolk cholesterol and total cholesterol content were not different in the groups (P &gt; 0.05). As a result, the addition of JA with or without V has no adverse effect on performance and egg quality in hens. &nbsp;

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and vitamin E (&alpha;-tocopherol acetate) on egg production, egg quality, lipid peroxidation status (measured as MDA), and some serum metabolites in laying hens (Hy-Line) maintained at a low ambient temperature (6&deg;C). One hundred and twenty laying hens (18-wk-old) were divided into four groups, 30 hens per group. The laying hens were fed either a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with either 250 mg of L-ascorbic acid/kg of diet, 250 mg of &alpha;-tocopherol acetate/kg of diet or 250 mg of L-ascorbic acid plus 250 mg of &alpha;-tocopherol acetate/kg of diet. Although feed consumption of the hens was similar (P &gt; 0.05) among treatments, supplemental vitamin C and E significantly increased final body weight, egg production, and improved feed efficiency (P &lt; 0.05). Egg weights were also greater (P &lt; 0.05) in hens supplemented with the combination of vitamin C and E than that of hens supplemented either vitamin or no vitamin (control). Haugh unit did not change upon each vitamin supplementation, but the combination of the vitamin supplement yielded a higher Haugh unit (P &lt; 0.05). Each dietary supplement of vitamin C and vitamin E improved the egg quality (P &lt; 0.05) resulting in a greater specific gravity, thicker egg shell, and heavier egg shell weight. Separately or as a combination, supplemental vitamin C and E decreased MDA, glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations (P &lt; 0.05). Results of the present study showed that supplementing vitamin C and vitamin E, particularly as a combination, improved the performance of cold-stressed laying hens, offering a potential protective management practice in preventing cold stress-related losses in performance of laying hens. Results of the present study also indicated that the effects of vitamin C and vitamin E are additive.

L-carnitine is used as feed additive in poultry diets to increase yield and to improve feed efficiency. The major role of L-carnitine appears to be the transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for ƒÀ oxidation. This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of two levels of fat (10 and 30 g kg-1 DM) and two levels of L-carnitine (0 and 250 mg kg-1) on performance, egg quality, and blood parameters of laying hens in a factorial arrangement (2~2) with completely randomized design with six replicates and four laying hens in each replicate. During the experiment feed intake, egg weight, egg production, feed conversion ratio, and some blood parameters (triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, HDL), egg quality (albumen height, egg shell thickness, egg shell breaking strength), and cholesterol content of eggs were measured. Results of this experiment indicated that supplementation of L-carnitine in laying hens diets had not significant effect on performance, cholesterol content of eggs, but decreased the levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL in blood serum and increased albumen height of eggs significantly (p

The purpose of this research was to produce the enriched eggs, but low in cholesterol content. Forty eight layer chickens aged 72 weeks (strain Dekalb Warren) were distributed into six treatment groups. One group of laying hens was fed diets without Sauropus androgynusleaf extract (SALE) as the control, and another five groups were fed diet supplemented to 9 g SALE, 18 g SALE, 27 g SALE, 36 g SALE, and 45 g SALE/kg diet, respectively. Completely randomized design was used in the present study.The experimental results showed that SALE supplementation had no effect on egg production, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, egg weight, yolk weight, albumen weight, shell egg, egg index, eggshell thickness, and yolk index (P>0.05), but significantly affected Haugh Unit, albumen index, yolk color, egg odor, egg taste, and yolk color (P<0.05). The protein, fat, calsium, phosphor, kaliumand iron contents of eggs  did not change (P>0.05), but the cholesterol content of egg was significantly reduced (P<0.05). In conclusion, the supplementation of SALE did not enhance performance, but it improve egg quality and its chemical composition.

Objective. To determine egg production in laying hens treated with oligofructose from agave. Materials and methods. Eighteen weeks old Hy-line W-36 hens (n=300) were distributed randomly into 3 treatment groups: no feed supplementation (control) or feed supplementation with 0.1% of 0.2% oligofructose from agave (OFA). Hens were monitored from development until 30 weeks of egg laying. Results. A significant (p<0.05) increase in the percent of egg-laying hens as well as increased in egg weight and egg quality occurred in hens from the OFA treatment groups relative to the control hens. Significantly lower levels (p<0.05) of fecal putrescine were observed in hens from the OFA treatment groups. Conclusions. The oligofructose from agave may be used as an alternative feed additive in laying hens.

Two hundred and forty laying hens were fed diets supplemented with vitamin C and selenium (Se). Vitamin C was added at 0 or 200 mg/kg, and Se was added as sodium selenite or selenized yeast at 0.3&nbsp;mg/kg. The feed intake and egg production were measured, and egg quality parameters were determined. Supplementation of the basal diet with Se significantly increased the laying performance; however, vitamin C significantly decreased feed intake and egg production. Vitamin C increased vitamin E concentration in the yolk. Both selenite and Se-enriched yeast increased the vitamin E concentration in the yolk and the Se concentration in the yolk and albumen. The oxidative stability of yolk lipids was improved in hens fed diets supplemented with sodium selenite, but not in those fed diets supplemented with Se-yeast. After 28 days of storage, however, the beneficial effect of selenite on lipid stability ceased. The supplementation of the basal diet with vitamin C significantly worsened the oxidative stability of yolk lipids, indicating that vitamin C acted as a pro-oxidant. Thus, vitamin C increased the laying performance and influenced some traits of egg quality. The combined supplementation of vitamin C and Se did not prove to be successful.

Background and Aim: The use of antibiotics as growth promoters in the feed of poultry, has contributed to an increase in the antimicrobial resistance of foodborne pathogens worldwide. Hence, the development of new effective alternatives to antibiotics that do not hinder productivity is imperative. For this, the aim of the present study was to determine whether oregano essential oil (OEO) extracted from Lippia origanoides is a suitable alternative to growth-promoting antibiotics (GPAs) for improving the performance, egg quality, and intestinal morphometry of ISA Brown laying hens. Materials and Methods: A total of ninety-six 70-week-old ISA Brown laying hens were randomly assigned to four treatment groups with four replicates per treatment and six hens per replicate. The treatments consisted of four different diets that were formulated according to the nutritional requirements of the genetic line and the production phase with and without the addition of GPA and OEO: NC, which did not contain OEO or GPA; GPA, which included 50 ppm zinc bacitracin as a GPA; 80OEO, which included 80 ppm OEO and no GPA; and 150OEO, which included 150 ppm OEO and no GPA. Results: All of the OEO and GPA treatment groups had a better feed conversion ratio than the NC group. However, the addition of 150 ppm OEO to the diet improved the percentage egg production and egg mass, as well as the external and internal quality of the egg compared with the other treatments. In addition, both the 80OEO and 150OEO treatments improved the yolk color, shell thickness, and shell color, as well as parameters related to the intestinal morphometry compared with the NC group. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that 150 ppm OEO can be used as a substitute for GPA to improve the performance, egg quality, and parameters related to the intestinal morphometry of ISA Brown laying hens.
