This research is conducted to evaluate the effect of use Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seed as additive on the growth performance and egg quality of ISA BROWN laying hens. The materials in this research were used date palm flour with different levels as follows, T0 = basal diet + 0% control, T1 = basal diet + 2.5% date palm flour, T2 = basal diet + 5% date palm flour, T3 = basal diet + 7.5% date palm flour, T4 = basal feed + 10% date palm flour. The variables observed were production performance and egg physical quality. This research used 125 laying hens aged 26 weeks, consisting of five treatments and five replications. Data analysis from this study Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results show that the treatments had no significant effect (p >0.05) on production performance and egg physical quality. To sum up, using date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) has positive effect on the growth performance and egg quality of ISA BROWN laying hen because can be alternative feed ingredients to reduce production costs and maximize income.

<p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Objective: </strong>The aims this study of evaluate the effect of use date (<em>Phoenix dactylifera</em> L.) pits as alternative feed ingredient on egg quality of laying hens.</p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>This study was designed to consist of 5 treatments and 5 replications using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and if the effect was significant (P&gt;0.05) or very significant (P&gt;0.01), then Duncan's Multiple Distance Test (DMRT) was continued. The treatment in this research was the use of date pit flour with different concentration levels, namely 0% (P0), 2.5% (P1), 5% (P2), 7.5% (P3), and 10% (P4).<strong></strong></p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Results: </strong>The results showed that the use of date pit flour could increase egg weight, shell weight, shape index, and yolk color.<strong></strong></p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The use of date pit flour (<em>Phoenix dactylifera</em> L.) up to 10% level was used to improve the egg quality of laying hens.<strong></strong></p>
