At the Pastaza Experiment Station of ESPOCH-Ecuador, the effect of two tropical humid grasses Pennisetum sp. (T1) and Pennisetum purpureum (T2), and the plant Tithonia diversifolia (T3), in the feeding of Cavia porcellus (guinea pigs) in the growth phase was evaluated. For this experiment, 210 animals of the improved Peruvian breed were used in three treatments with 70 repetitions. The data obtained was subjected to a completely randomized design, under the Tukey multiple comparison test at a significance level (p ≤ 0.01 and p ≤ 0.05). The fruitful results established that a more efficient feed conversion (5.57) was obtained by providing Tithonia diversifolia (T3), which required fewer quantities to be transformed into bodyweight. However, the best final weights (835.3 g), weight increases (560.97 g), feed consumption (4835.93 g), balanced consumption (2033.66 g), total feed intake (6869.59 g), carcass weights (518.14 g), carcass yield (60.28%), as well as lower mortality were recorded by providing Pennisetum sp. (T1). It also had the lowest cost per kilogram of weight gain with 1.90, as it has a high protein content. The economic analysis determined that it is more profitable to breed guinea pigs in pyramidal burrows when using Pennisetum sp. (T1), since its usefulness (B/C 1.34) was 34 cents for every dollar invested. This is notable because it solves the problems of feeding in the humid tropics, as well as housing them in burrows which reduces the breeding space, thus saving resources that increase profitability. Keywords: Pennisetum sp., Pennisetum purpureum, Tithonia diversifolia, Cavia porcellus, pyramid breeding system. Resumen En la Estación Experimental Pastaza de la ESPOCH-Ecuador, se evaluó el efecto de dos pastos del trópico húmedo Pennisetum sp.

Para lo cual se utilizó 210 animales de la línea peruano mejorado, mediante tres tratamientos con 70 repeticiones; los datos obtenidos fueron sometidos a un Diseño Completamente al Azar, bajo la prueba de comparación múltiple del estadístico Tukey a un nivel de significancia (p ≤ 0.01 y p ≤ 0.05). Los resultados productivos establecieron que al suministrar el T3, se alcanzó una conversión alimenticia más eficiente (5.57). Pero al proporcionar el T1, se registraron los mejores resultados para: peso final (835.3 g), incrementos de peso (560.97 g), consumo de forraje (4835.93 g) consumo de balanceado (2033.66 g), consumo total de alimento (6869.59 g), pesos a la canal (518.14 g), rendimiento a la canal (60.28%), menor porcentaje de mortalidad; así como también el menor costo por kilogramo de ganancia de peso con 1.90. El análisis económico determinó, que se obtiene mejor rentabilidad al criar cuyes, bajo madrigueras piramidales con la utilización de Pennisetum sp. (T1), ya que su utilidad fue (B/C 1.34); resultados que son aplicables, ya que solucionan los problemas de alimentación y nutrición de la producción de cuyes en el trópico húmedo ecuatoriano; a su vez el alojamiento en madrigueras reduce el espacio de crianza, por lo que al bajar los costos de producción representan un ahorro de recursos que elevan la rentabilidad.

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

UTILIZATION OF “GEDI LEAF (Abelmoschus Manihot (L) Medik) AS“ADDITIVE” IN DRINKING WATER RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF INDONESIAN SUPER NATIVE CHICKEN. Research was done to evaluate the performance of Indonesian super native chicken treated with “Gedi” leaf (Abelmoschus Manihot (L) Medik) as“Additive” in drinking water. Study was conducted using hundred individuals of the Indonesian super native day old chicken. The juice of “Gedi” leaf (Abelmoschus Manihot (L) Medik) was given as in forms of the four treatments as follows, drinking water without “Gedi” leaf as control (P0), drinking water with 10 ml juice of “Gedi” leaf per liter of drinking water (P1), drinking water with 20 ml juice of “Gedi” leaf per liter of drinking water (P2), and drinking water with 30 ml juice of “Gedi” leaf per liter of drinking water (P3). Treatments were applied to the birds at 6 weeks old by completely randomized design five replications at each treatment. Data were taken during 5 weeks. Feeds were using 73 percents of commercial feed added by 10 percents of corn and 17 percents of rice bran with nutritional composition of crude protein 19.49 percents, crude fiber 4.66 percents, fat 3.63 percents, Calcium 1.02 percents, Phosphorus 0.66 percents and metabolic energy of 2920 kcal/kg, all given ad libitum. Variables measurement were focused on feed consumption, drinking water consumption, average daily gain, and feed conversion. Results showed that drinking water with 30 ml juice of “Gedi” leaf per liter of drinking water (P3) was not significantly different with other treatments for feed and drinking water consumption, except for average daily gain and feed conversion. The treatments of P1 and P2 were not significantly different for average daily gain, but these treatments were higher in average daily gain compared with control (P0). The highest value of feed conversion was obtained at treatment P3 and the lowest value was found at treatment P1. These values indicated that the best feed conversion was treatment P1. Therefore, it can be concluded that juice of “Gedi” leaf can be used as the alternative additive feed in drinking water up to 20 ml juice of “Gedi” leaf per liter of drinking water in term of high average daily gain and feed conversion of Indonesian super native chicken. Key words: Drinking water, “Gedi” leaf, Indonesian super native chicken.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of giving levels of secang wood extract and lemuru fish oil on the appearance of laying quails which included feed consumption, Hen Day Production (HDP), feed conversion of quail egg mortality. This study used Autumn strain quail with a population of 168 individuals with basal feed supplemented with several levels of secang wood extract. This research method is an experiment using a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial with 4 treatments with 6 replications with each repetition consisting of 7 quails aged 10-15 weeks. The treatment was as follows: P0 = basal feed without the addition of secang wood extract P1 = basal feed + 0.2% EKS + 4% MIL, P2 = basal feed + 0.4% EKS + 4% MIL, P3 = basal feed + 0 , 6% EX + 4% MIL. The addition of a combination of secang wood extract and fish oil was carried out according to the level of quail feeding. The variable being measured; feed consumption, Hen Day Production (HDP), Feed conversion, mortality. Addition of secang wood extract with a level of 0%; 0.2%; 0.4%; 0.6%, and 4% lemuru fish oil had no significant effect on feed consumption, hen day production, feed conversion, mortality, this was due to flavonoids, polyphenols and active compounds in oil. lemuru fish does not affect the appearance of quail egg production. Flavonoid compounds in low concentrations have no effect on chicken feed consumption, because the content of flavonoid compounds can still be tolerated by the chicken body. The use of lemuru fish oil with a concentration of up to 6% in quails does not affect the consumption of quail feed, because the addition of lemuru fish oil does not affect the palatability of quail feed. The conclusion of this study was that the addition of secang wood extract. The addition of secang wood extract and lemuru fish oil did not affect hen day production, feed conversion and mortality of laying quails

The present study was conducted to evaluate the feeding effect of diet composed of microparticle protein added with lime juice as an acidifier on immune status and efficiency of protein utilization in relation to the growth of broiler chicken. Dietary treatments tested were P1 was diet with 20% intact protein and CaCO3 as a Ca source, P2 was diet with 20% microparticle protein and eggshell as a Ca source added with 1.2% lime juice, and P3 was diet with 20% microparticle protein and eggshell as a Ca source added with 2.4% lime juice. Variables measured were protein and amino acids digestibility, retentions of N and Ca, fecal Nτ–methyl histidine (Nτ–MH) excretion as a protein turnover index, lymphoid organs, heterophil and lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, immunoglobulin A (IgA) as a body resistance indicator, feed consumption, body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 8 replications. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and Duncan test at 5% probability. Protein and amino acid digestibility, N, and Ca retentions were significantly (p<0.05) higher in P2 and P3. However, the H/L ratio was significantly (p<0.05) lower in both treatments compared to P1. Bursa fabricius and lymph weights were not difference, but BWG in P2 significantly (p<0.05) increased. In conclusion, protein and some essential amino acids digestibility, N and Ca retentions, IgA, and BWG increase with the decrease in H/L ratio, fecal Nτ–MH, feed consumption, and FCR in broiler fed diet composed of microparticle protein source with additional 1.2 mL acidifier of lime juice.

The Chicken broiler is a type of superior race chicken that has high genetic properties, especially in growth. The use of herbs as medicines in medicine is now starting to increase, which is evident from the many traditional drugs manufacturers on the market. One of the herbs that can be used as an antibiotic for livestock is basil (Ocimum sp). Basil contains beta-carotene (provitamin A), which supports the function of vision, improves antibody function (influences immune function), protein synthesis to support growth process and as the antioxidant (Adnyana and Firmansyah, 2006). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of basil leaves flour up to 12% level against broiler performance. The experiment was carried out experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD). The results of statistical analysis showed that the addition of basil meal powder into the feed did not affect to feed consumption between levels (P> 0). The result of the statistical analysis showed that the addition of basil meal powder into the feed had no effect (P> 0,05) to the increase in body weight. The result of the statistical analysis showed that the treatment with the addition of basil powder into the feed had no effect (P> 0,05) to feed conversion. The result of this research can be concluded that the addition of basil powder into feed up to 12% level did not give significantly different effect on production performance such as feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion of the broiler.
