Abstract. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of sex of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) on fattening performance and carcass characteristics. The quail chicks were divided into three groups, made up of 96 males or 92 females or 36 individuals of each sex, resulting in a total of 256 chicks. The chicks in the groups were raised using the same feeding regime (24% CP, 2900 kcal/kg ME) and housing conditions for 42 days. There were significant (P<0.01) differences between male and female groups in weekly live body weight (lbw) gain values on day 35, in average live body weight gain on days 35 and 42, and in lbw gain values between days 14 and 42. Slaughter weight and liver weight were significantly different between groups (P<0.01). The differences between the two sex in mixed group in average body weight gain, average lbw on days 35 and 42, average lbw gain, lbw gain between days 14 and 42, slaughter weight, hot carcass yield, and liver weight were found significant (P<0.01). Lbw, lbw gain, feed consumption, slaughter weight, hot carcass yield, weights of heart, liver and giblets were higher in female quails while feed conversion rate was lower. As a result, these data suggest that separate raising of male and female Japnese quails might be more advantageous.

ABSTRAKPenggunaan acidifier baik organik atau sintetis dapat meningkatkan optimalisasi nutrien di dalam saluran pencernaan.  Optimalisasi nutrien diharapkan dapat meningkatkan performa ternak khususnya puyuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan dua macam acidifier terhadap performa puyuh fase grower. 100 ekor unsexed puyuh (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) fase grower umur 14-40 hari digunakan dalam penelitian yang menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan lima perlakuan dan empat ulangan. Bahan pakan yang digunakan adalah jagung kuning, dedak, konsentrat puyuh komersil, sari belimbing wuluh, dan asam sitrat sintetis. Perlakuan yang dicobakan terdiri dari perlakuan kontrol (P0), penggunaan 0,3% asam sitrat sintetis (P1), penggunaan 0,25% sari belimbing wuluh (P2), penggunaan 0,6% asam sitrat sintetis (P3), dan penggunaan 0,5% sari belimbing wuluh (P4). 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.

Dietary Treatments

One hundred and eighty (180) unsexed twenty-one day-old growing Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were fed for 28 days with diets in which maize was replaced with cassava grit at 0, 25 and 50% with or without β-glucanase supplementation. The birds were randomly grouped into six treatments in three replicates of ten birds per replicate. Diet 1 was the control without cassava grit while diets 2 and 3 had 25 and 50% of their maize contents replaced with cassava grit respectively. Diets 4, 5 and 6 were the same as diets 1, 2 and 3 respectively but for the inclusion of β-glucanase at 100mg/kg. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum throughout the period of study. Feed intake (590.98g), weight gain (93.77g) and FCR (6.35) were significantly (p<0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. 6 Among the haematological parameters monitored RBC (4.46x10 /UI) and WBC 3 (26.52x10 /UI) were significantly (p<0.05) affected by dietary treatments. Thiocynate (2.57 mg/ml), AST (290.6 U.I/L) and ALT (33.6 U.I/L) were also significantly (p<0.05) influenced by the experimental diets. Replacement of 25 or 50% maize with cassava grit in diets of the Japanese quail diets did not have negative effect on haematology and serum biochemistry of the birds. There were however significant differences (p< 0.05) affected by the treatments while caeca length and the lungs weight were statistically similar across the treatments. Replacement of maize with cassava grit at 25 and 50% in Japanese quail diets had no negative effect on haematology, serum biochemistry and carcass characteristics of the birds.

Copper Supplementation

SUMMARYThe effect of 200, 400 and 600 mg dietary copper sulphate/kg was studied in 64 Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in 1987. The results indicated that addition of 200 or 400 mg/kg to conventional diets of quail 7–42 days old significantly increased (P < 0·05) body weight gain and significantly decreased (P < 0·05) feed intake. There were significant (P < 0·05) increases in carcass, breast and leg weights in some cases; the first two characters had the highest values in the quail fed the diet containing 200 mg Cu/kg. The addition of 600 mg Cu/kg to the diet had an adverse effect on liver weight compared with the addition of 200 and 400 mg/kg. Copper concentration in the liver was not influenced by any rate of copper supplementation.

Abstract. This study aimed to determine the effects of thermal manipulation during early embryogenesis (EE) and late embryogenesis (LE) on hatching weight, body weight at 5 weeks of age, hatchability and embryonic mortality rate in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Incubation conditions from day 0 to day 17 were; 37.7 °C and 55 % relative humidity for control group. In the thermally treated eggs during early embryogenesis (EE6-EE8 days), incubation temperature was increased to 41 °C and relative humidity to 65 % for 3 hours (12.00-15.00) at 3 consecutive days. Also, in the late embryogenesis stage (LE12-LE14 days), incubation temperature was increased to 41 °C and relative humidity to 65 % 3 hours (12.00–15.00) at 3 consecutive days. At hatch in each trial, all chicks were wing-banded and individually weighted. Thermal manipulations had significant effect on hatching weight, and lowest hatching weights were found in late embryogenesis (LE) group in terms of male and female. In addition, thermal manipulations and gender had significant effect on body weight at 5 weeks of age and lowest body weights at 5 weeks of age were dedected in late embryogenesis (LE) group for both gender.
