Variabel yang diamati adalah konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum mingguan. Penggunaan sari belimbing wuluh memiliki konsumsi pakan yang lebih rendah  (P<0,05) pada minggu pertama dibanding kontrol dan asam sitrat sintetis.  Penggunaan asam sitrat sintetis meningkatkan pertambahan bobot badan pada minggu pertama (P<0,05). Penggunaan asam sitrat sintetis nyata dapat menurunkan konversi pakan minggu ke tiga dan empat dibanding kontrol dan asam organik belimbing wuluh. Kesimpulan penelitian ini yaitu penggunaan sari belimbing wuluh sebagai acidifier belum menunjukkan perbaikan performa yang signifikan sedangkan penggunaan asam sitrat sintetis memiliki performa yang lebih baik dibanding perlakuan kontrol dan penggunaan sari belimbing wuluh.Kata kunci: acidifier, asam sitrat, belimbing wuluh, puyuh fase growerABSTRACTThe organic and synthetic acidifiers could improve the optimization of nutrients utilization in the quail digestive tract. 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

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.

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.
