The research aimed to evaluate the utilization of Japanese quail hatchery waste powder in feed on feed intake, egg production, egg mass and feed conversion ratio. The materials used were 4 weeks old 160 Japanese quails with an average weight of 94.19 ± 7.36 gram. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments (0%, 9%, 12%, and 15% of Japanese quail hatchery waste powder in feed) and five replications. Parameters observed were feed intake, egg production, egg mass and feed conversion ratio. The data were analysed using analysis of variance and continued with Duncan's multiple range test 5% level. The results showed that the addition of Japanese quail hatchery powder in feed had a significant effect (P>0.05) on feed intake and egg mass, but not on egg production and feed conversion ratio. The conclusion of this study was Japanese quail hatchery waste could be used on quail's feed until 15% without changing feed intake, egg production, egg mass and feed conversion ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
