A research was conducted at Quail Breeding Centre of Padjadjaran University.  A hundred quails of female black and brown color of each line was observed from hatch to age of six weeks. Four growth models were compared: Gompertz, Logistic, Richards, and MMF. The best fit was measured with Coefficient of determination (R2) and standard error of prediction (se). The results showed that all observed models have high accuracy with R2 ranging from 0.9950 to 0.9988 for black color, and 0.9984 to 0.9992 for brown color respectively. Standard errors of prediction (SE) ranged from 1.99 g to 4.01 g for black, and from 1.92 g to 2.52 g for brown, respectively. Gompertz model was more favorable with R2 and SE of 0.9988 and 1.99 g for black, and 0.9991 and 1.92 g for brown, respectively. Age at inflection, maximum average daily gains and weights at inflection were 4.18 week, 27.87 g and 100.23 g for black line and 3.38 week, 25.05 g and 75.34 g for brown line, respectively.

Abstrak Penelitian dengan judul Karakteristik Hasil Penetasan Puyuh Pedaging Malon dan Jepang Terseleksi Generasi Ke Lima telah dilaksanakan di Test Farm KVS Majalaya. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dan mengevaluasi hasil penetasan puyuh Pedaging Malon dan Jepang Terseleksi Generasi Ke Lima. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Analisis deskriptif kuantitatif dilakukan terhadap ukuran pemusatan yaitu nilai rata-rata dan ukuran penyebaran yaitu nilai standard deviasi. Telur puyuh yang digunakan percobaan sebanyak 600 butir atau 300 butir setiap galur. Peubah yang diamati adalah fertilitas (%), daya tetas (%), kematian embrio (%) dan bobot tetas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil penetasan telur puyuh pedaging Malon dan Jepang Terseleksi Generasi Ke Lima termasuk baik. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada data hasil penelitian bahwa telur tetas yang berasal dari pembibitan puyuh Malon memiliki fertilitas yang tinggi (95,83%), daya tetas yang baik (80,76%), kematian embrio 19,24% dan bobot tetas yang tinggi 8,56 ±0,90g. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian bahwa telur tetas yang berasal dari pembibitan puyuh Jepang Terseleksi memiliki fertilitas yang tinggi (96,67%), daya tetas yang baik (82,73%), kematian embrio 17,27% dan bobot tetas yang tinggi 8,52 ±0,695 g. AbstractResearch with the title of the Five Characteristics of Results of the Five Generation Selected Malon and Japanese Quail Hatching was carried out at KVS Majalaya Test Farm. The purpose of this study was to find out and evaluate the results of the fifth generation selected Malon and Japanese Quail hatchery. Research uses quantitative descriptive methods. Quantitative descriptive analysis is carried out on the concentration size, namely the average value and the size of the spread, namely the standard deviation value. Quail eggs used as much as 600 grains or 300 grains per line. The variables observed were fertility (%), hatchability (%), embryo mortality (%) and hatching weight. The results showed that the results of the fifth generation selected Malon and Japanese Broiler quail hatching eggs were good. This can be seen from the research data that hatching eggs from Malon quail nurseries have high fertility (95.83%), good hatchability (80.76%), embryo death 19.24% and high hatching weight 8.56 ± 0.90g. Furthermore, the results of research that hatching eggs from selected Japanese quail nurseries have high fertility (96.67%), good hatchability (82.73%), embryonic death 17.27% and high hatching weight 8.52 ± 0.695 g.

Sentul chicken is a specific chicken from Ciamis region, West Java, Indonesia, and it is a dual purpose type. To improve performance can be added with spirulina meal as a feed supplement. Spirulina is classified as blue-green algae or blue-green bacteria and can be as the source of protein. Spirulina is a source of carotenoids with the high content of beta-carotene and xanthophylls, so it can be used in rations to increase egg production. The purpose of this study was to obtain an effective level of use n of spirulina in the Sentul chicken ration of the layer phase. The study used 50 female chickens aged seven months, which was kept in cages until two months and each cage contains two chickens. The method used was a completely randomized design with 5 treatments namely R0 (ration without spirulina), R1 (ration with 1% spirulina addition), R 2 (addition of 1.5% ), R3 (addition of 2%) and R4 (addition of 2, 5%) with five replications. Furthermore, treatment differences were tested using Duncan Multiple Range test. The measured variables were feed consumption, egg weight, hen day production, and feed conversion, thick of shell and egg yolk color. The results showed the addition of spirulina of 1.5 -2% in the ration increased hen day production and egg quality but with the addition of 2.5%, feed consumption, hen day production, and feed conversion decreased. It can be concluded that spirulina can be used as a feed supplement until 2% to give the best on production and eggs quality of Sentul chicken.

The golden snail can breed very quickly and could become a pest for the plants especially rice plants. The Gold snails contains to use as duck feed. One of ducks that developed in West Java, is Rambon duck. In the maintenance of ducks, to improve productivity, usually required additional substances in ration. Noni plant which fruit is very nutritious, and contains anti-microbial that increase the productivity of livestock. This study aims to determine the level of gold snails and the Noni Fruits flour in a ration that gave the best Rambon duck performance and IOFC in the Jatigede Reservoir area. The research was done experimental and all data were analyzed statistically with Anava and further test with Duncan Test. The research used 200 DOD of Rambon duck that given 4 ration treatment containing gold snail flour (K) and noni fruit flour (M). The treatments were P1 (R1+0.45% M), P2 (R1+0.60% M), P3 (R2+0.45% M), dan P4 (R2+0.60% M). Parameters measured were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, carcass weight and IOFC. The results showed that P2 treatment (gold Snail 5%+0,60% noni fruit) gave the best Rambon duck performance with the value of IOFC Rp. 11,675.74 each bird

Penelitian dengan judul “Pengaruh Pemberian Ekstrak Daun Kepel (Stelechocarpus burahol) Terhadap Kadar Kolesterol Darah Dan Telur Puyuh (Coturnix-coturnix japonica)” telah dilaksanakan pada bulan Juni-September 2019 di Pusat Pembibitan Puyuh Fakultas Peternakan Universitas Padjadjaran, dan Laboratorium Fisiologi dan Biokimia, Fakultas Peternakan, Universitas Padjadjaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar kolesterol darah dan telur (yolk) puyuh yang diberi perlakuan ekstrak daun kepel (Stelechocarpus burahol). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Terdapat 20 unit perlakuan yang terdiri atas 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan, dengan dosis perlakuan ekstrak daun kepel yaitu : P0 = 0 mg/kgBB, P1 = 200 mg/kgBB, P2 = 300 mg/kgBB, P3 = 400 mg/kgBB, dan P4 = 500 mg/kgBB. Puyuh yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 80 ekor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar koelsterol darah pada setiap perlakuan tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05), tetapi berbeda nyata (P<0,05) terhadap kadar kolesterol telur. Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil ialah pemberian ekstrak daun kepel (S. burahol) belum mampu menurunkan kadar kolesterol darah, namun pada dosis 200 mg/kgBB dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol telur.
