Performa puyuh petelur fase starter dengan pemberian biji pohon karet yang difermentasi menggunakan ragi tempe

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving fermented rubber tree seeds using tempeh yeast on the performance of laying quails. This study used 160 quail aged 14 days, the feed given was a mixture of Comfeed PP1 quail starter concentrate, corn flour, fermented rubber tree seed flour, bran, and Topmix. The research method used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatment given was the addition of fermented rubber seed flour: P0 (0%), P1 (4%), P2 (8%), and P3 (12%) based on the total ration requirements of the quails kept. Parameters observed included feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, and age at first laying. The results showed that the addition of fermented rubber tree seed meal reduced feed consumption, but had no significant effect on weight gain, and feed conversion. The addition of fermented rubber tree seed flour can be used up to 12%.
