“…Similarly, many studies on utilization of SPR have revealed that the SPR as a source of organic as well as inorganic nutrients formed as a valuable ingredient in the concentrate mixture for the livestock (Suresh et al, 2006;Malapure et al, 2015;Ankita and Saha, 2015) as well as for poultry (Suma et al, 2007;Budeppa et al, 2008;Suresh et al, 2009a;Suresh et al, 2009b;Suresh et al, 2010a;Suresh et al, 2010b;Suresh and Reddy, 2011;Suresh et al, 2012;Suma et al, 2014a;Suma et al, 2014b;Suma et al, 2015). However, none of the studies established the efficiency of energy and protein utilization in SPR for birds.…”

Sugarcane press residue (SPR), a nonconventional feed ingredient is a soft, spongy, amorphous, dark brown to white material was fed to 32-week-old white-leghorn-layer at 0, 5, 10 and 15 per cent either in the soya-based or fish-based diets to form T1 to T8 diets, respectively. Each diet so formulated was offered to five-replicates of four laying-hens each constituting a total of one-sixty birds reared for 84-days. Results revealed that the cumulative efficiency of protein utilization values of layers fed different experimental diets were 29.36, 28.62, 27.20, 29.11, 27.90, 28.21, 28.02 and 25.95 in T1 through T8 groups, respectively. Likewise, efficiency of energy utilization values ranged non-significantly from 28.18 (T1) to 24.84 (T8). Whereas, average EPU and EEU values due to main factors were found to be statistically non-significant. It was concluded that SPR can be included up to 15% in soya and fish based layer diets for energy and protein utilization apart from inorganic-matter.

Aim:Sugarcane press residue (SPR), a by-product of sugarcane industry, which is rich in inorganic salts was assessed at different levels in both soya based and fish based diets of layers for egg shell and yolk quality characteristics.Materials and Methods:SPR was incorporated in 32-week-old white leghorn layer diets at 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% either in the soya based or fish based diets to form T1 to T8 diets, respectively. Each diet was offered to five replicates of four laying hens each constituting a total of one sixty birds kept for 84 days under colony cages.Results:Mean egg shell thickness obtained from eggs of experimental hens measured was 0.342, 0.329, 0.320, 0.322, 0.319, 0.332, 0.328 and 0.336 mm in T1 through T8 groups, respectively. About the main factor effects, both showed non-significant results. Similarly, influence of different treatment diets, in imparting colour to the yolks, was found to be non-significant (p>0.05) at different 28-day time intervals. Further, the average yolk index values ranged non-significantly from 0.360 (T6) to 0.383 (T4).Conclusion:The SPR can be incorporated into layer diet as a source of inorganic as well as organic nutrients without affecting its egg quality characteristics.

ABSTRAKPenelitian dilakukan dengan rancangan acak lengkap untuk mengetahui penggunaan ganggang hijau air tawar segar sebagai pewarna alami kuning telur itik Mojosari selama periode bertelur terhadap performan produksi dan kualitas telur. Sebanyak 80 ekor itik petelur umur 36 minggu dibagi menjadi empat perlakuan dan empat ulangan terdiri dari 5 ekor. Pakan diformula menggunakan konsentrat komersial, dedak, dan jagung kuning (2:4:4) sesuai dengan standar pakan komersial sebagai kontrol, dan tiga perlakuan lain dengan menambahkan 2, 4, dan 8% ganggang hijau. Konsumsi pakan, produksi telur dan konversi pakan dipengaruhi oleh pemberian ganggang hijau (p<0.05). Produksi telur dan konversi pakan menunjukkan perbaikan pada level 2 dan 4%. Indek kuning telur, indeks albumen, Haugh Unit dan ketebalan kulit telur tidak dipengaruhi oleh pemberian ganggang hijau (P>0.05) kecuali warna kuning telur. Warna kuning telur mengalami perubahan lebih baik dalam waktu 7 hari setelah pemberian pakan yang mengandung ganggang hijau. Ganggang hijau dapat digunakan sebagai pewarna alami kuning telur dan pada level 8% dalam ransum meningkatkan pigmentasi kuning telur itik hingga mencapai skor tertinggi diukur Roche Yellow Color pada skala 15.Kata kunci: ganggang hijau, jagung, dedak, warna kuning telur, produksi telur. ABSTRACTAn experiment in a completely randomize design was undertaken to study the use of fresh-water green algae as a yolk coloring agent in Mojosari ducks during a laying period on productive performance and egg quality from 36 to 44 wk of age. A total of 80 thirty-six wk-old laying ducks were divided into four dietary treatments and each of four replicates with 5 birds. Diets were formulated with a commercial concentrate, rice bran and yellow corn (2:4:4) according to a commercial standard diet as a control, and three other dietary treatments with 2, 4 or 8% of green algae were included. Fresh water green algae had a significant effect on the feed uptake, egg production, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) (p<0.05). Egg production and FCR improved at added 2 and 4% green algae. No differences were observed in egg yolk index, albumen index, Haugh Unit, and egg shell thickness (P>0.05) except egg yolk color. The yolk color increased within 7 days after feeding with the test diets. The present study indicated that fresh-water green algae could be used as a natural coloring agent in laying ducks and at 8% of green algae showed the highest score of (Roche Yellow Color-15).
