The objective was to evaluate the increasing levels of magnesium in the water supplied to laying quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica), kept in climatic chambers under thermoneutral temperature and thermal stress, on their performance and morphometry of their organs. The birds were distributed in a completely randomized design, 2x4 factorial arrangement, 2 temperatures (24 and 32 ºC) and 4 levels of magnesium in the water (50, 150, 250 and 350 mg L-1), with six replicates and eight birds per experimental unit. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and the means compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability level. The magnesium levels in the water did not affect (P > 0.05) the production performance and morphometry of the organs, with less water consumption at the magnesium level of 150 mg L-1, and birds kept at 32 °C had a reduction in feed consumption and feed conversion, but without affecting organ morphometry. Japanese quails in the production phase can consume water with magnesium levels up to 350 mg L-1 without having their production performance and morphometry of organs affected and raised in an environment with temperatures of up to 32 °C.

ABSTRACT ADDITION TURMERIC, GINGER RHIZOME AND WHITE RHIZOME OF COMMERCIAL RATION ON QUAILS’ PERFORMANCES. This study aims to determie the effectiveness of the addition of Turmeric powder (Curcuma domestica Val), Javanese ginger powder (Curcuma xanthorriza Roxb) and White turmeric powder (Curcuma zedoaria Rosc) in a commercial ration towardsthe performance of quail. The material used were 120 female quails 6 weeks of age. We used the Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments were applied as follows : R0 = basic ration without turmeric, Javanese ginger, and white turmeric powder, R1 = base + 2% ration turmeric powder, R2 = base + 2% ration Javanese ginger powder, R3 = base + 2% ration of Javanese ginger and white turmeric powder. The results showed that the addition of turmeric powder, Javanese ginger powder and white turmeric powder in the ration was not significantly different (P > 0.05) on the performance of quails (feed consumption, egg production and feed conversion). We conclude that the addition of turmeric powder, Javanese ginger powder, and white turmeric powder as much as 2% in commercial rations didn’t raise the feedconsumption, egg production, and surpresses the feed conversion.

This experimental study aims to evaluate the use of Indigofera leaves that have undergone cocktail enzyme treatment in male Mojosari duck feed. The research treatment was using Indigofera leaves due to enzyme cocktail treatment on male Mojosari duck feed with four levels: 0, 5, 10 and 15% of total feed, with six replications (@ five ducks) using 120 ducks in a completely randomized design. The variables measured and observed in this study were the production performance of male ducks, which included feed consumption, body weight growth, feed conversion. The research results were processed by analysis of variance (ANCOVA) because the coefficient of variation in initial body weight was 17.7%. The results showed that the addition of Indigofera leaf meal to the feed of male Mojosari ducks tended to reduce feed consumption (P<0.01) and body weight gain (P<0.05) but did not increase the FCR value (P>0.05). Indigofera flour needs to be processed first with a cocktail enzyme treatment to improve its nutritional quality so that it can be used as feed for ducks in larger quantities. Male Mojosari ducks that are kept need to be harvested at more than seven weeks to get a higher harvest weight.

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.
