Identification of Proximate Composition of Fermented Chicken Eggs by Using Lactobacillus plantarum with Different Incubation Times

Eggs that have a balanced amino acid content can fullfill protein that needs in humans, However, eggs have a low shelf life so they were easily damaged. Fermentation technology on foodstuffs by using microbes has been widely carried out, among others using Lactobacillus bacteria. The type of Lactobacillus bacteria commonly used in egg fermentation is Lactobacillus plantarum. This study was conducted experimentally by using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replications each. The treatment was carried out by fermentation with an incubation temperature of 37 oC with different incubation times of 0, 48, and 96 hours with research parameters water content, crude fat, crude fiber, BETN and ash content. The results showed that different incubation time treatments on fermented chicken eggs had a significant effect (P<0.05) on water content, crude fat, crude fiber, BETN and ash content. The nutritional composition of fermented eggs by using L. plantarum could be seen from the decrease in water content, crude fiber and BETN and an increase in crude fat and ash content with increasing incubation time. The value of water content, crude fat, crude fiber, BETN and optimum ash content at an incubation temperature of 37 oC for 96 hours of incubation time.

Nutrient consumption and digestibility in Garut sheep fed with elephant grass and pollard bran

This study aimed to compare the nutrients consumption and digestibility between Garut rams and ewes fed with forage (elephant grass) and concentrate (pollard bran) with a ratio of 60:40 (based on the dry matter). The livestock used were 6 Garut rams and 6 Garut ewes. They were placed in metabolic cages and equipped with feces containers. This research was conducted 14 days for the adaptation period and 5 days for the collection period. During the collection period, feed, feed residue, and feces collection were carried out for analysis. The analysis consisted of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), nitrogen-free extract (NFE), and total digestible nutrients (TDN). The data obtained were used to calculate nutrient consumption and digestibility. Based on the research, it was known that average consumption and digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), crude lipid (CL), crude fiber (CF), nitrogen-free extract (NFE), and total digestible nutrients (TDN) of Garut rams and ewes were not significantly different (P>0.05). All nutrients consumed by rams were higher than ewes, but the nutrients digestibility value in rams was lower than ewes.

Behavior of laying chicks fed diets containing sources and levels of dietary fiber in the starter phase

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the behavior and welfare conditions of laying chicks in the starter phase, fed with diets formulated with increasing levels of crude fiber (CF) and two feedstuffs with different fiber compositions. The experiment was developed at the Federal University of Goiás, in Goiânia - GO, Brazil. Three hundred Bovans White chicks were evaluated in a completely randomized design with a 2×2+1 factorial arrangement corresponding to two levels of CF in the diet (3.0 and 3.5%) and two fiber sources (wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse), plus a control treatment (maize- and soybean meal-based), totaling five treatments with six replicates of 10 birds each. Maintenance behavioral patterns and welfare were assessed at 21 and 42 days of age. There was no difference in behavior and classification by order of importance of the activities performed by the fiber-fed birds observed at 21 and 42 days, according to the Kruskal Wallis test (P>0.05). Medium and good welfare conditions were obtained with wheat bran at 3.5 and 3.0% CF, respectively, at 21 days of age. At 42 days, the use of sugarcane bagasse at the CF level of 3.5% and wheat bran at the level of 3.0%provided good behavior conditions. The use of crude fiber in the feeding of hens did not change their behavior.

Consistent Organochlorinated Pesticides (OPC) Residues Contamination in Beans Consumed in Gombe Metropolis Nigeria

Most of the locally consumed beans in our vicinity contain excess chemicals of pesticides residues which are harmful to humans and environmental hazards to ecosystem. Investigation of this study revealed contamination level of organochlorine pesticides residues in dried beans originating from Nigeria with a view to controlling them, it also studies crude fiber of beans showed that B4 has the highest fiber content, 27.85% and the order of decreasing value as B4, B5 , B1, B3 and B2. The least percentage of crude fiber was shown by B2 in all the beans samples analyzed. This study also investigated the pesticides residue components of the organochlorinated pesticides test. The presence of pesticide residues in all 14 types of organochlorine pesticides in beans is lower than a previously reported level. Despite this, the amount of organochlorine pesticides tested is more than the permitted levels of 0.01 to 0.2 mg/kg, indicating that the beans consumed in the Gombe metropolis included pesticide residues beyond the permissible limit.

Analisis Potensi Fermentasi Tepung Daun Binahong Anredera Cordifolia Dengan Metode Trial End Error Sebagai Pakan Tambahan Pada Ayam Petelur

Ayam petelur merupakan ternak yang mudah stress dan rentan terhadap penyakit. Guna mengatasi keadaan tersebut perlu dicari alternatif bahan herbal yang tidak menimbulkan residu pada telur ayam yaitu dengan memberikan pakan tambahan fermentasi tepung daun binahong. Binahong merupakan salah satu tanaman yang dapat meningkatkan vitalitas dan daya tahan tubuh. Kandungan fitobiotik pada tepung daun binahong (fenol 85,30 mg/kg, total flafonoid 47,40 mg/kg, saponin 66,00 mg/kg, dan alkaloid 2,60 mg/kg). Unggas yang memiliki sistem pencernaan tunggal kurang baik dalam mencerna pakan berserat kasar tinggi. Kebutuhan serat kasar pada ayam petelur maksimal 7% maka, dilakukan analisis manfaat fermentasi menggunakan EM4. Dalam penelitian terdahulu menyebutkan bahwa EM4 menghasilkan sejumlah besar enzim mencerna serat kasar seperti selulase dan mannase. Keuntungan Lactobacillus dalam EM4 dalam mencerna serat kasar adalah karena bakteri tidak menghasilkan serat kasar dalam aktivitasnya, sehingga mereka lebih efektif dalam menurunkan serat kasar. Fermentasi dapat meningkatkan nilai gizi dan juga palatabilitas. Pemberian pakan tambahan fermentasi tepung daun binahong sebagai feed adiktif memiliki potensi terhadap peningkatkan sistem imun sehingga ayam sehat, maka produksi telur akan meningkat dan stabil. Laying hens are animals that are easily stressed and susceptible to disease. In order to overcome this situation, it is necessary to find alternative herbal ingredients that do not cause residues in chicken eggs, namely by providing additional feed with fermented binahong leaf flour. Binahong is one of the plants that can increase vitality and endurance. Phytobiotic content in binahong leaf flour (phenol 85.30 mg/kg, total flavonoids 47.40 mg/kg, saponins 66.00 mg/kg, and alkaloids 2.60 mg/kg). Poultry that has a single digestive system is not good at digesting high crude fiber feed. The need for crude fiber in laying hens is a maximum of 7%, so an analysis of the benefits of fermentation using EM4 was carried out. In previous studies, it was stated that EM4 produces a large number of enzymes digesting crude fiber such as cellulase and mannase. The advantage of Lactobacillus in EM4 in digesting crude fiber is that bacteria do not produce crude fiber in their activity, so they are more effective in reducing crude fiber. Fermentation can increase nutritional value and also palatability. The addition of fermented binahong leaf flour feed as an addictive feed has the potential to increase the immune system so that chickens are healthy, so egg production will increase and be stable.
