Performance of Layer Quails in the Grower Phase Given Probiotic Pineapple Peel Silage Liquid Through Drinking Water at Different Levels

Abstrak

Quail is a popular livestock and livesock produce animal protein such as meat and egg. Pineapple peel has a high water and carbohydrate content which can be a good substrate for microbial growth so that this pineapple peel can be made into probiotics through fermentation. This probiotic aims to improve the health and development of microbes in the digestive tract. This probiotic aims to improve the health and development of microbes in the digestive tract. This study aims to determine the effect of providing probiotics with pineapple peel silage (SKN) liquid on the production performance of laying quail in the grower phase which includes ration consumption, body weight gain, drinking water consumption and ration conversion. This research has been using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method consisting of 5 treatments with 4 replications. The treatments were is P0 (Drinking Water), P1 (0.5% Commercial Probiotics), P2 (1% SKN Liquid), P3 (2% SKN Liquid), P4 (3% SKN Liquid). Parameters observed were ration consumption, female body weight gain, male body weight gain, drinking water consumption, female ration conversion and male ration conversion. The results showed that giving SKN liquid up to a level of 3% through drinking water had no significant effect (P>0.05) on ration consumption (20.35-21.27 grams), female body weight gain (3.80-4.15 gram), male body weight gain (3.18-3.32 gram), drinking water consumption (73.47-77.68 ml), female ration conversion (4.91 – 5.55) and male ration conversion (6.22-6.70). It was concluded that providing probiotics with SKN liquid up to a level of 3% through drinking water could maintain the production performance of laying quail in the grower phase including ration consumption, body weight gain, drinking water consumption and ration conversion.
