Abstract

The experiment was conducted to study the effects of herbs in Japanese quail diet on egg production performance and quality. Thirty-eight days old of 60 Japanese quail were raised in completely randomized design (CRD) comprising 4 groups with 3 replications of 5 birds each. Dietary treatment 1 was non-supplemented with any herb (control). Dietary treatment 2-4 were supplemented with 6% of Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb., 2% of Moringa oleifera Lam, and 2% of Curcuma longa Linn. Feed intake and egg production performance were recorded for last 4 weeks. The results showed that feed intake of the birds received diet with 2% of Curcuma longa Linn. decreases significantly (P<0.05). Feed dozen egg of the bird received diet with 2% of Moringa oleifera Lam. shows decrease significantly (P<0.05). Yolk color of the birds received feed with 6% of Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb. increase significantly (P<0.05).

The experiment was conducted to study the effects of powder supplement of Pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.), moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.) and turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.) in layer Japanese quail diet on egg production performance and quality. Thirty-eight days old of 60 Japanese quail were raised in completely randomized design (CRD) comprising 4 groups with 3 replications of 5 birds each. Dietary treatment 1 was non-supplemented with any herb (control). Dietary treatment 2-4 were supplemented with 6% of Pandan leaves powder, 2% of Moringa leaves powder and 2% of turmeric powder. Feed intake and egg production were recorded for 4 weeks. The 9 eggs per 1 group were chosen randomly for quality measure. The results showed that the bird received diet with 2% of turmeric powder increased feed conversion ration and feed per dozen egg significantly (P<0.05). The birds received feed with 6% of pandan leaves powder and 2% of moringa leaves powder increased yolk color score (a*) significantly (P<0.05). Addition of powder of pandan leaves and moringa leave in Japanese layer quail feed was recommended at 6 and 2%, respectively, not only improve yolk color score (a*),but also did not effect on egg production performance.
