This study aimed to evaluate the administration of Lactobacillus plantarum AKK-30 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae B-18 as probiotics in reducing cholesterol of blood, egg, and meat and also the production performance of laying quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica). A number of 600 birds of the twenty one-day-old quails were distributed in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 6 replications (initial BW= 101.35 ± 1.64 g). Treatments were as follows: A = negative control (basal diet without probiotic), B = 1% of L. plantarum AKK-30 (107 cfu/g), C = 1% of S. cerevisiae B-18 (106 cfu/g), D = 1% of a probiotic consortium, E = positive control (commercial probiotic). Parameters observed were blood biochemistry profiles, product quality, and production performance. The results revealed that administration of 1% S. cerevisiae (C) resulted the lowest cholesterol in blood (101.75 mg/dL) and egg (9.44 mg/g) and while administration of 1% L. plantarum(B) increased meat protein and decreased fat content (P<0.05). Level of blood triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were not different among treatments. Probiotic treatments did not affect the growth performance, quail day production (QDP), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and egg uniformity. However, probiotic increased diameter of egg yolk (P<0.05). It was concluded that administration of single probiotic L. plantarum AKK-30 or S. cerevisiae B-18 improves the quality of laying quail products.

One hundred and sixty-eight 11-week-old laying quails(Coturnix coturnix japonica)were fed one of the following three diets: (1) control: basal diet with no lentil(Lens culinaris L.)byproduct; (2) inclusion of 10% lentil byproduct; (3) inclusion of 20% lentil byproduct. In the recent years, colour sorting machines are used in order to separate red lentils according to their colours. The goal is to select the items which are discoloured, not as ripe as required, or still with hull even after dehulling of lentil seed. During the sorting, a new byproduct called “sorting byproduct” leftover is obtained. The byproduct is cleaner and is of a higher quality than other lentil byproducts. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of the inclusion of different levels of lentil byproduct on laying quail performance. The experimental treatment included 10% or 20% lentil byproduct in the diet, and this was fed to quails aged between 11 and 22 weeks. The inclusion of 10% and 20% levels of lentil byproduct in the diet significantly increased egg production, but feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not significantly affected. Egg weight decreased significantly following the inclusion of 20% lentil byproduct. The inclusion of lentil byproduct in the diet increased the deposition of yellow yolk pigments and decreased malonaldehyde formation in the yolk.

ABSTRAK. Untuk mendapatkan produksi terbaik dalam pemeliharaan puyuh maka harus memperhatikan ransum yang diberikan dimana ransum yang berkualitas baik akan meningkatkan penyerapan zat makanan yang berguna untuk meningkatkan performa awal produksi seperti umur pertama bertelur, bobot badan saat pertama bertelur, bobot telur pertama dan konversi ransum yang terbaik pula. Performa awal merupakan kunci keberhasilan untuk produksi selanjutnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui performa awal bertelur pada puyuh yang bahan pakannya diganti dari tepung bawang putih menjadi bawang hitam. Materi yang digunakan adalah 200 ekor puyuh betina umur 3 minggu yang dipelihara sampai umur bertelur pertama. Perlakuan yang diberikan adalah penggantian tepung bawang putih dengan bawang hitam sehingga diperoleh 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan dimana setiap ulangan terdiri dari 10 ekor puyuh. Perlakuannya adalah P0=100% ransum komersil tanpa penambahan tepung bawang putih dan bawang hitam (kontrol), P1=100% ransum komersil+3% tepung bawang putih+0% bawang hitam, P2=100% ransum komersil+2% tepung bawang putih+1% bawang hitam, P3=100% ransum komersil+1% tepung bawang putih+2% bawang hitam, P4=100% ransum komersil +0% tepung bawang putih+3% bawang hitam. Penelitian ini didesain menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dan jika terdapat pengaruh pada perlakuan dilanjutkan dengan uji jarak Duncan. Peubah yang diamati meliputi konsumsi ransum, bobot badan dan umur saat bertelur pertama dan konversi ransum. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan penggantian tepung bawang putih dengan bawang hitam tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang nyata (P0.05) terhadap konsumsi ransum, bobot badan dan umur saat bertelur pertama, dan konversi ransum puyuh. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh bahwa substitusi tepung bawang putih dengan bawang hitam sampai 3 % dalam ransum belum dapat memperbaiki performa awal produksi telur pada puyuh. (Substitution garlic with black garlic in the ration on early egg production of layer quail (Coturnix - coturnix japonica)) ABSTRACT. Quail production depends on the feed and feeding where feed quality will increase quail ability to digest and absorb the nutrients, thus, will improve the performance of early egg production, body weight at first egg laid, egg weight and feed conversion. The performance of early egg production is key to success and subsequent determinant of production. This study aimed to determine the performance of early egg production of quail fed ration contained garlic that was substituted by black garlic. The study used 200 female quail at 3 weeks of age and was kept until the first day of laying egg. The treatments were the substitution level of garlic with black garlic, namely P0 = 100% commercial feed without garlic and black garlic, P1 = 100% commercial feed + 3% garlic + 0% black garlic, P2 = 100% commercial feed + 2% garlic + 1% black garlic, P3 = 100% commercial feed + 1% garlic + 2% black garlic, and P4 = 100% commercial feed + 0% garlic + 3% black garlic. The research was designed into Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications those 10 quails each. The parameters were feed consumption, body weight and age at the first day of laying egg, and feed conversion. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the significant effect of the treatment would be tested using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Results of this study showed that there was not significant different (P0.05) among treatment groups on feed consumption, body weight and age at the first day of laying egg, and feed conversion. It is concluded that using black garlic up to 3 % or 2.91 % in ration to substitute garlic does not improve quail early egg production performance yet.

Ross 308 broiler chicks (n = 240) aged 1 day were assigned to five groups for eight replicates (six chicks for each) (3♂ and 3♀). Basal dietary groups were supplemented by 2000, 4000, and 6000 mg/kg cinnamon (CN) for 21 days. Basal diet alone was used as a negative control, and basal antibiotic diet (Colimox) was used as a positive control. At 10, 14, and 21 days of age, chicks that received 2000 mg CN and Colimox had a higher body weight, resulting in an increase in body weight gain. CN also resulted in the maximum improvement in the feed conversion ratio and feed efficiency over 1–21 days at the level of 2000 mg/kg. At days 10, the maximum relative breast weight was 2000 mg/kg of CN. Mean serum albumin concentrations, duodenal villus height, and goblet cell density increased (p < 0.05) by 2000 mg/kg of CN, and mean serum globulin and total protein concentrations and crypt depth increased (p < 0.05) by 6000 mg/kg of CN compared with control. Increased cecal Escherichia coli number was CN dose-dependent. In conclusion, dietary inclusion of 2000 mg/kg CN can be applied as an alternative to in-feed antibiotics for broiler starter diet.

Furthermore, the optimization of nutrients is expected to improve quail performance. This study was aimed to determine the effect of using two types of acidifiers (Averrhoa bilimbi juice and synthetic citric acid) on the grower phase of quail performance. Total of 100 unsexed quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) grower phase aged 14-40 days were used in this research and designed as a completely randomized design of five treatments and four replications. Feed ingredients used were yellow corn, rice bran, commercial quail concentrate, Averrhoa bilimbi juice (organic acidifier), and synthetic citric acid. The treatments consisted of control (P0), 0.3% synthetic citric acid (P1), use of 0.25% Averrhoa bilimbi juice (P2), use of 0.6% synthetic citric acid (P3), and use of 0.5% Averrhoa bilimbi juice (P4). The variables observed were weekly feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion. The result showed that utilization of Averrhoa bilimbi juice has lower feed consumption (P<0.05) in the first week compare to control and synthetic citric acid, and synthetic citric acid utilization increases body weight gain in the first week (P<0.05). The use of synthetic citric acid significantly reduces feed conversion in the third and fourth weeks compared to control and organic acid groups. The conclusion of this study is the utilization of Averrhoa bilimbi juice as an acidifier has not shown significant improvements in quail performance. The use of synthetic citric acid has a better performance compared to control and Averrhoa bilimbi juice utilization.Keywords: acidifier, organic acidifier, citric acid, growing quail

Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) is one of the leading poultry that has a pretty good role and prospect as an egg producer and as a meat producer. The most important factor in the maintenance of quail is feed, because 80% of the costs incurred by farmers for the purchase of feed. Attempts to rotate waste is to utilize anchovy Waste enough to be used as a substitution of fish meal in the manufacture of artificial feed quail. Anchovy waste in artificial feed is expected to reduce the use of fish meal in quail feed. From the results of proximate test that has been done the protein content of starch produced 44.43%.The purpose of this research is to know the content of the fish waste flour as a feed conventional to the growth. The method used in this research is Randomized Complete Design (RAL) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Parameters used were feed consumption, average weight gain and feed conversion. The results showed that the use of anchovy waste flour as conventional feed was very helpful in the consumption of rations, weight gain and feed conversion. The conclusion of this study is used of anchovy waste can replace fish flour as a protein source in laying quail rations.

Abstrak. Puyuh (Coturnix coturnix japonica) merupakan jenis unggas yang paling populer selain ayam dan itik di Indonesia yang diminati peternak unggas. Namun kendala utama dalam perkembangan puyuh yaitu kurang tersedianya bibit puyuh hasil persilangan dengan struktur breeding yang jelas sehingga dikhawatirkan terjadinya inbreeding. Sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian persilangan (Cross breeding) puyuh Hybrid dengan Coturnix coturnix japonica terhadap pertumbuhan turunannya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh persilangan puyuh Hybrid terhadap pertumbuhan, konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan dan umur dewasa kelamin turunannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persilangan puyuh Hybrid dengan Coturnix coturnix japonica tidak berpengaruh nyata (P0,05) terhadap konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi pakan dan umur bertelur pertama turunannya. Namun dari hasil persilangan jantan Coturnix coturnix japonica dengan betina Hybrid memperlihatkan bahwa angka konversi pakan cenderung lebih efisien dan umur bertelur pertama lebih cepat.Response The Growing Consumption Woof and Adult Of Genders Age Which is Resulted by  Crosswise Mating Of Hybrid Quail  With Coturnix coturnix japonicaAbstract. Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) is the most popular type of poultry besides chickens and ducks in Indonesia that are favored by poultry farmers. But the main obstacle in the development of quail is the lack of availability of quail seeds from crosses with a clear breeding structure that is feared to occur inbreeding. So it is necessary to do a hybrid quail cross breeding study with Coturnix coturnix japonica on its derivative growth. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Hybrid quail crosses on growth, feed consumption, body weight gain and adult age of hereditary sex. The results showed that Hybrid quail crossing with Coturnix coturnix japonica had no significant effect (P 0.05) on feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion and age of first laying eggs. However, the results of Coturnix coturnix japonica male Hybrids with Hybrid females show that feed conversion rates tend to be more efficient and the age of first laying is faster.
