EGG QUALITY AND HATCHABILITY OF In situ - REARED KEDU AND CEMANI HENS FED DIET OF FARMER FORMULATION SUPPLEMENTED WITH VITAMIN E

Abstract

The aim of study was to evaluate the effect of dietary vitamin E supplementation in Kedu and Cemani hens reraed in situ and given farmer-formulated diet on egg performances. A total of 120 female and 24 male birds were equally divided into two groups of Kedu and Cemani, with average body weight of 1890+216.79 and 1830+396.23 g, respectively. Basal ration was based on the diet formulated by the farmer (R1) consisting of corn (30%), rice bran (50%), protein concentrate (15%), and premix (5%).Dietary treatments evaluated were R1 (without additional vitamin E), and the other three were the inclusion of DL α-tocopheryl acetate into the R1 diet up to 2 (R2), 4 (R3) and 6 IU (R4). The experiment was arranged in a Randomized Block Design with 4 treatments, and 2 different groups of hen (Kedu and Cemani) were assigned as block. Parameters observed were feed consumption, hen day production, feed conversion ratio, egg quality, fertility, and hatchability. The result showed that vitamin E supplementation did not affect whatever parameters, except egg fertility. Egg hatchability between Kedu and Cemani hens was significantly different (p<0.05). Trend comparison test indicated significantly linear (p<0.05) for fertility and hatchability. In conclusion, vitamin E supplementation up to 6 IU increased linearly egg fertility and hatchability of about 5-8%, and egg hatchability of Kedu hens was higher (11%) than that of Cemani.

Effect of Some Antioxiadnts and Methyl- Donors on the Productive and Reproductive Performance of Turkey Hens

“…These results agree also with those of Wahyuni et al (2011) who showed that vitamin E supplementation did not affect feed consumption in Kedu and Cemani hens. Krishnan and Scheideler (2010) showed that dietary supplementation with choline (choline chloride 60%) at 0, 500 and 1000 ppm did not show any difference in feed intake in 29-week-old White Leghorn hens.…”

Egg's vitamin E deposition of Kedu breeder chicken fed improved diets

“…In order to ensure the chickens are able to grow as good breeder flock, the feed should be sufficient in nutrients supply, especially in relation to egg fertility. As reported by Wahyuni et al (2011) that addition of vitamin E up to 6 IU to Kedu hens showed a linear pattern. Kedu hens receiving vitamin E have improved their fertility and hatchability by 7 to 10% and 2 to 8%, respectively.…”

“…Some previous studies have been done concerning dietary addition of vitamin E, in Indonesian local chicken (Nataamijaya, et al, 2006;Iriyanti et. al., 2007;Wahyuni, et. al., 2011); Taiwan local chicken (Lin et.…”

Pengaruh Pemberian Ekstrak Sarang Semut (Myrmecodia sp.) Terhadap Fertilitas Telur Ayam

“…Berdasarkan data pada Gambar 1 didapatkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak sarang semut dapat meningkatkan fertilitas telur ayam. Vitamin E memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam reproduksi ternak (Wahyuni et al, 2011;Iriyanti dkk.,, 2007). Peningkatan fertilitas ditentukan juga oleh pakan yang cukup mengandung vitamin E. Pada durasi pemberian 3 hari/minggu (D3), level pemberian ekstrak umbi sarang semut sebesar 10 mg/kg BB (L1) menghasilkan fertilitas yang lebih rendah dibanding level pemberian ekstrak umbi sarang semut sebesar 20 mg/kg BB (L2).…”
