Pengkayaan Selenium Organik (Se-yeast) dalam Pakan terhadap Performa dan Kualitas Fisik Telur Puyuh

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek penambahan selenium organik terhadap produksi dan kualitas telur burung puyuh. Penelitian menggunakan 200 ekor puyuh (Cortunix cortunix japonica) umur 4 minggu. Penelitian dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan sebanyak 5 ulangan, yaitu P0 (pakan + 0,92 mg kg-1 selenium inorganik), P1 (pakan + 0,92 mg kg-1 selenium organik komersial), P2 (pakan + 0,92 mg kg-1 selenium yeast), P3 (pakan + 1,84 mg kg-1 selenium yeast). Data dianalisis dengan ANOVA dan uji Duncan untuk uji lanjut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan selenium yeast dengan dosis yang berbeda tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap performa puyuh, seperti konsumsi pakan, hen day production, massa telur dan konversi pakan. Penggunaan selenium yeast dosis 0,92 mg kg-1 (P2) tidak berbeda nyata dengan performa puyuh perlakuan selenium organik komersial (P1) serta selenium inorganik (P0). Penambahan selenium yeast dengan dosis yang berbeda tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap kualitas fisik telur puyuh, tetapi pada kualitas ketebalan kerabang telur pemberian selenium menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda nyata dengan ketebalan kerabang tertinggi ada pada perlakuan pemberian selenium inorganik (P0). Simpulan penelitian ini adalah penambahan selenium yeast dalam pakan dapat memberikan efek yang sebanding dengan penggunaan selenium organik dan inorganik komersial terhadap performa dan kualitas telur puyuh, terutama pada dosis 0,92 mg kg-1.

This study aimed to determine the effect of organic selenium supplementation on the production and egg quality of quails. A total of 200 quails (Cortunix cortunix japonica), aged 4 weeks, were used in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments with 5 replications: P0 (feed + 0.92 mg kg-1 inorganic selenium), P1 (feed + 0.92 mg kg-1 commercial organic selenium), P2 (feed + 0.92 mg kg-1 selenium yeast), and P3 (feed + 1.84 mg kg-1 selenium yeast). Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results showed that different doses of selenium yeast supplementation did not significantly affect quail performance parameters such as feed intake, hen-day production, egg mass, and feed conversion ratio. The performance of quails in the P2 group was not significantly different from those in the P1 and P0 groups. Selenium yeast supplementation also had no significant effect on the physical quality of quail eggs, except for shell thickness. A significant difference in eggshell thickness was observed, with the highest thickness found in the group receiving inorganic selenium (P0). It can be concluded that selenium yeast supplementation in feed provides comparable effects to commercial organic and inorganic selenium in terms of quail performance and egg quality, particularly at a dose of 0.92 mg kg-1.
