This study aimed to determine the effect of noni fruit extract on the internal quality, foam index, and haugh unit of layers eggs. This research has been carried out at the Chemistry Laboratory of Widya Mandira University Kupang, and the Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Timor, Kefamenanu during February 12, until March 25, 2020. This study used eggs of layer chicken, each treatment using 25 eggs. The method used was a completely randomized design with a one-way pattern consisting of 5 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments given were T0 (control), T1 (2 ml noni fruit extract), T2 (4 ml noni fruit extract), T3 (6 ml noni fruit extract), and T4 (ampicillin). The variables observed were egg weight, air sac diameter, albumen height, egg yolk index, foam leakage, foam index, and Haugh unit. The results of statistical analysis showed the effect of noni fruit extract on egg weight, air sac diameter, foam leakage, foam index, and Haugh unit value. The mean value of each variable showed that the 6 ml (T3) noni extract treatment was better than the other treatments (T0, T1, T2, and T4). It was concluded that to maintain egg quality for up to 21 days, could be preserved with a concentration of 6% noni fruit extract.
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.
