ABSTRAKMolting merupakan kejadian alami, tetapi ini dapat dilakukan secara buatan yang disebut dengan force molting. Pada saat ayam petelur mengalami fase molting maka tingkat stres menjadi tinggi. Setelah force molting, yaitu ketika bulu baru sudah tumbuh, ayam akan kembali bertelur meski jumlah produksinya tidak setinggi masa bertelur normal.Selenium dengan kombinasi vitamin E memperbaiki stres dan daya tahan terhadap penyakit sebagai hasilnya performa produksi dan reproduksi meningkat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh injeksi Selenium dan Vitamin E pada ayam petelur fase molting (force molting) terhadap performa produksi. Hewan coba yang digunakan adalah ayam petelur strain isa brown berumur 80 minggu sebanyak 80 ekor yang dibagi menjadi 4 perlakuan dengan 20 ulangan yaitu P0 (0,3 ml PBS), P1 (0,3 ml), P2 (0,6 ml) dan P3 (0,9 ml). Injeksi selenium dan vitamin E menggunakan obat Introvit-E-Selen (Sodium-selenite 0.5 mg/ml dan tocopherol acetate 50.0 mg/ml) pada saat dilakukannya force molting.Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengukur konsumsi pakan,berat telur dankonversi pakan sebagai variabel performa produksi. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan Analisis Sidik Ragam dan jika perlakuan berpengaruh nyata dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan P2 (0,6 ml Introvit-E-Selen) memiliki pengaruh terhadap nilai konsumsi pakan, berat telur dan konversi pakan dengan rataan nilai 97,35±7,77a, 69,66±3,79a dan 1,40±0,13a. Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian injeksi selenium dan vitamin E pada ayam petelur fase molting (force molting) memberi pengaruh yang nyata terhadap performa produksi.Kata kunci: force molting, performa produksi, selenium, vitamin EABSTRACT               Molting is a natural occurrence, but this can be induced artificially using the method called force molting. When laying hens experience molting phase, the stress level becomes high. After force molting, new feathers will grow and the chicken will lay eggs even though the production is not as high as the normal laying period. Selenium with a combination of vitamin E improves resistance to stress and diseases as a result of increased production and reproductive performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Selenium and Vitamin E injection on laying hens in force molting phase on production performance. The experiment used 80 hens of 80 weeks old Isa brown strain layers which were divided into 4 treatments with 20 replications; P0 (0.3 ml PBS), P1 (0.3 ml), P2 (0.6 ml) and P3 (0.9 ml). Type of injection used was Introvit-E-Selen (Sodium-selenite 0.5 mg/ml and tocopherol acetate 50.0 mg/ml) at force molting. The study was conducted by measuring feed consumption, egg weight and feed conversion for production performance variables. The data obtained were analyzed by Analysis of Variance, if the treatment was significant, then followed by Duncan test. The results showed that treatment P2 (0.6 ml Introvit-E-Selen) affected feed consumption, egg weight and feed conversion by average of 97.35 ± 7.77a, 69.66 ± 3.79a, and 1.40 ± 0.13a, respectively. This study concluded that injection of selenium and vitamin E in laying hens at molting (force molting) phase had a significant effect on production performance.Keywords: force molting, vitamin E, selenium, production performance

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of two levels of clinoptilolite administered in feed (2% and 4%) on some selected performance indicators, metabolic utilization of basic nutrients and the health status of laying hens. The selected 24 Bovans Goldline hybrid laying hens were divided into three equal groups, two experimental groups (E1 and E2) and one control group (C). The laying hens were housed individually in cages with an automatic supply of drinking water, manual feeding, in a setting with controlled light and temperature regimens. Hens from individual groups were all fed a complete feed mix of the same composition and the only difference was in clinoptilolite supplementation: feed mixes for E1 and E2 groups contained 2% and 4% of clinoptilolite (commercial additive ZeoFeed) respectively, replacing the same amounts of wheat. The hens received feed mixes and drinking water ad libitum. During this 28-day experiment, feed consumption and the number and weight of eggs laid were monitored individually for each hen. At the end of the experiment, the balance test using the indicator method (Cr2O3) was performed in all eight hens in each of the groups. The results of balance tests were then used to calculate the metabolic utilization of selected nutrients (nitrogen, fat, ash, nitrogen-free extracts, starch, gross energy, Ca, P). After the balance tests, blood samples for haematological and biochemical examinations were collected via puncture of the vena basilica. The addition of 2% clinoptilolite to feed mix resulted in a highly significant (P ⪬ 0.01) increase in mean egg weight to 64.69 g, but the addition of 4% clinoptilolite in group E2 resulted in a highly significant (P ⪬ 0.01) decrease in mean egg weight to 62.20 g compared to the control (63.73 g). Moreover, daily feed mix consumption in group E1 decreased to 114 g per one laying hen/day compared to the controls (118 g per one laying hen/day). In group E2 (4% clinoptilolite), daily consumption of feed mix increased compared with the controls to 124 g. The 2% clinoptilolite supplementation of E1 group feed slightly increased metabolic utilization of fat, nitrogen-free extracts, starch and gross energy compared to group C. Results of haematological test of the hens’ blood showed significant changes in haemoglobin, whose values in groups C and E1 were significantly higher (P ⪬ 0.05) than in group E2. Differences in the values of the biochemical indicators monitored (total protein, glucose, cholesterol, triacylglycerols, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and the AST enzyme) between group C and experimental groups E1 and E2 were not significant and remained within the range of reference values.

This study was conducted to know the production performance of laying hen by using different graded level of linseed. At 56 weeks of age, a total of 160 laying hens were raised up to 63 weeks of age. All hens were fed a basal corn soyabean meal diet. The experiment was allowed 4 dietary treatments (T0, no addition of whole linseed in the basal diet; T1,  addition of 5% whole linseed; T2, addition of 10% whole linseed and T3, addition of 15% whole linseed) with 5 replications and per replication contains eight hens. Egg production, feed intake, egg weight of each treatment was recorded. Egg samples were collected and analyzed for egg quality. The results showed that egg production and egg mass (kg) exhibited for all dietary treatment groups were unaffected (P>0.05) by feeding linseed to the laying hens. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) was found significant difference within the four dietary group (P<0.05). Egg quality aspects such as yolk weight, egg weight, HU and yolk index were not differed significantly (P>0.05) among treatments.  A trend for lower yolk weight was observed in birds fed 10% linseed, where as the highest yolk weight percentage was recorded in control diet. There was no statistical difference among the different diets for yolk index. The results of the present trial suggested that feeding linseed to the laying hens has no detrimental effects on egg production and egg quality.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of inclusion plant source of n 3 fat in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) on the diets of layers on production performance and physical quality of eggs. A total of  125 Hy-Line Brown hens (38 weeks old) were placed at individual cages and assigned to five dietary treatments. The dietary treatments were supplemented with 0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0% purslane meal. Laying hens were fed for five weeks following a seven day adaptation period. Water and feed were provided ad libitum. Feed intake (FI) measured weekly and feed consumption ratio (FCR) was calculated at the end of the trial. A total of 25 egg yolk samples of day 35 (n = 5 egg yolks for each treatment) were collected to analyse physical quality of eggs. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Differences between treatment means were further analyzed using Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Results showed that the incorporation of plants rich in ALA did not modify FI, FCR, and egg production. Supplementation of purslane meal in the diets had no effect on physical quality of eggs, including egg weight, yolk weight, albumen index, yolk index and Haugh Unit (HU). The average of egg weight and yolk weight were 60,5 and 15.3 g, respectively. Diet containing purslane meal increased yolk colour. In conclusion, laying hens that fed diet supplemented with purslane meal rich in ALA improved yolk colour and did not change the production performance of the laying hens or the qualities of the eggs.

KUB chicken is a new breed of local chickens as the result of selection by the Indonesian Research Institute for Animal Production, Ciawi-Bogor. KUB chicken has been developed in South Kalimantan since early December 2013 at farmers assisted by livestock services in South Kalimantan and animal house belongs to the Assesment Institute of Agricultural Technology (AIAT) South Kalimantan. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the potency, production performance, and development opportunities of KUB chicken in South Kalimantan. KUB chickens have several advantages i.e. high egg production (160-180 eggs/hen/year), low brooding (±10%), faster growth, more savory meat taste, and adaptable to environment. Problems encountered in the development of KUB chicken in South Kalimantan are low hatchbility, expensive feed prices, and susceptible to diseases such as Newcastle Disease (ND) and Avian Influenza. Performance of KUB chicken at small farmers in South Kalimantan include egg production 65-67%, egg weight of 36.12-38.12 g/egg, feed consumption 85-105 g/head, feed conversion ratio 3.8-3.9, eggs fertility ranged between 90.21-92.61%, hatchability of eggs is 79.67-81.80% and DOC weight ranged from 34.50-36.86 g/head. Efforts to prevent diseases are the use of herb medicine, ND vaccination, and biosecurity. Appropriate feed technology, disease prevention and strengthen the marketing network are strategies that should be applied to develop KUB chicken in South Kalimantan. This will lead new job and increase farmers’ income.
