Influence of ShrimpWaste, Katuk Leaf (Sauropus androgynus L.Merr.), Bromelain and Garlic Powder addition on Performance and Egg Qualityof Quail

Abstract

This experiment aimed to study effect of addition of shrimp waste, katuk leaf, garlic powder, and bromelain on performance, egg weight quality, and physical composition of the egg. This experiment used 160 quail pullet reared 10 weeks and divided into five treatments and four replicates. The experimental diets were P0 (control), P1 =P0+ 31.1 ppm bromelain, P2 = P0+ 0.45% waste shrimp powder, P3 = P0+10% katuk leaf powder, and P4 = P0+1% garlic powder. This study used a completely randomized design. The results showed that egg weight and yolk color score were significantly different (P<0.05) among the treatments. Egg production, feed consumption, feed conversion, egg white percentage, egg yolk percentage, egg shell percentage, index of eggs and Haugh Unit were not significantly different. All eggs were classified into AA quality. All treatments produced higher (P<0.05) egg weight compared to control. Egg yolk color score of katuk leaf powder group was significantly higher (P<0.05) than other groups. It is concluded that the addition of bromelain, shrimp waste powder, katuk leaf powder, and garlic powder did not affect performance. But those had significant different effect on egg quality
