“…A much higher FCR was recorded for the control batches for the whole growth period, from 3.7 to 10.2 [ 25 – 27 ], but also lower FCR (from 2.72 to 3.32) by Bonos et al [ 28 ], and a similar FCR to our control batch [ 20 , 29 ]. According to Kanyinji and Moonga [ 30 ], the increase in FCR may be a consequence of wastage and its reduction may be related to high fiber content.…”

Objective: Quail production is ranked as an important alternative animal protein source in Cameroon. One of the main constraints of this production is the quality of feed, which lacks pro¬tein that is regularly supplied by fish meal. To avoid disagreements due to the constant shortage of fish meal, alternative protein sources are needed, and among them are crickets (Acheta domes¬ticus). The goal of this study was to find out how well Japanese quails could be raised if fish meal was replaced with cricket meal. Materials and Methods: A total of 192, 4-week-old quails were divided into 12 similar sets of 8 females and 8 males. The Four experimental diets (T00, T15, T30, and T45) were all formulated based on the level (0%, 15%, 30%, and 45%, respectively) of fish meal substitution with cricket meal in the basal diet (crude protein: 20.18% and ME: 3,013.78 kcal/kg) and randomly assigned to three sets in a completely randomized design consisting of four treatments each repeated three times. Growth, carcass, and some reproduction parameters were collected. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and the Duncan test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Cricket meal diets increased body weight in males (204.32 ± 5.69 gm for T45) and regard¬less of the sex (226.72 ± 29.45 gm for T30) compared to 184.17 ± 3.11 gm and 214.55 ± 32.77 gm for the control group, respectively. In females, substitution at 30% increased body weight (253.80 ± 6.48 gm), while 45% induced a reduction (216.67 ± 6.49 gm) when compared to the control group value (244.92 ± 6.07 gm). Carcass yield and the proportion of different parts were not significantly affected by the experimental diets. Liver proportions were significantly higher at 15% and 35% cricket meal incorporation compared to 45%. First songs and egg laying were recorded at 7 weeks with T15, which also led to improved egg laying performance compared to the other treatments. Ovaries were poorly developed in the T45 females compared to the other treatments. Conclusions: Cricket flour might be a good candidate as a locally available protein source to sub¬stitute fish meal in the Japanese quail’s diet at the finisher and reproductive stages, and the level of 30% seems to be more efficient.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mempelajari pengaruh pemberian pakan mengandung duckweed dengan penyajian berbeda pada itik lokal terhadap performan produksi dan kualitas kuning telur. Sebanyak 90 ekor itik berumur 24 minggu secara acak dibagi menjadi 18 kelompok dan ditempatkan masing-masing pada unit kandang berukuran 2 x 1 m 2. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan tiga perlakuan yang masing-masing terdiri atas 6 ulangan. Perlakuan P1 adalah P1 adalah kelompok itik yang diberi pakan komplit mengandung duckweed 20% dan disajikan dalam bentuk mash kering, P2 adalah kelompok itik yang diberi pakan komplit mengandung duckweed 20% dan disajikan dalam bentuk basah (bubur) dan P3 diberi ransum basal disajikan dalam bentuk mash kering dan duckweed disajikan secara terpisah dalam bentuk segar. Ransum disusun dengan kandungan nutrisi sama. Konsumsi, konversi pakan, dan pigmentasi kuning telur dipengaruhi oleh cara penyajian duckweed. Pemberian Pemberian duckweed segar mempunyai potensi yang baik untuk diterapkan dalam mengurangi biaya pengolahan pakan.

“…The protein content of duckweed can span from 15% to 45% of dry weight, depending on the species and the growth conditions (Appenroth et al., 2017; Chantiratikul et al., 2010). The protein content increases with increasing nitrogen uptake by duckweed, with a preference for ammonium (

{NH}_{4}^{+}

) over nitrate (

{NO}_{3}^{‐}

) in synthesizing amino acids (Landesman, Parker, Fedler, & Konikoff, 2005).…”
