Effect of Adding Fermented Black Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Meal in Laying Hen Diet on Egg Production Performance and Quality
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study on the effect of adding fermented black sesame meal (FSM) in laying hen diet on egg production performance and quality was conducted in 160 Lohmann Brown laying hens at 25 weeks old. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 groups. Each group consisted of 4 replications, and each replication had 10 laying hens. Group 1, the control group, the hens were fed a control diet without FSM. Group 2 3 and 4 of the hens were fed a diet containing 2.50 5.00 and 10.00% FSM diet, respectively. The experiment was observed for 6 weeks. The results showed that egg production, feed intake, and egg quality of all groups were not significantly different (p>0.05). Except for the conversion ratio and egg yolk index of 5.00% FSM group and Haugh unit of 5% and 10% FSM groups were significantly lower than control group (p<0.05). However, the egg yolk color of the 2.50% FSM group was higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). Therefore, level of FSM in a laying hen diet suitable for improving egg yolk color and feed conversion ratio should be between 2.50% - 5.00%.
