PENGARUH PEMBERIAN PROBIOTIK KOMERSIL TERHADAP BOBOT TELUR, PERSENTASE ALBUMIN DAN KUNING TELUR AYAM HASIL PERSILANGAN (GRADING UP)

Abstract

The purpose of this research were (1) to study the effect of different commercial probiotics on egg weight, albumin percentage, and yolk percentage of crossbreed chicken (cross between male Lohman and native chicken), (2) to determine the commercials probiotics that can give the best influence on egg weight, albumin percentage, and yolk percentage of layer crossbreed. This research was conducted from January to February 2019 at the Laboratory of Integrated Field, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. Data collection was carried out in the Laboratory of Animal Production and Reproduction, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. This research used a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting of four treatments and seven replications, namely drinking water (P0: without probiotic, P1: Probiotic A supplementation, P2: Probiotic B supplementation, and P3: Probiotic C supplementation). This research were used 28 eggs from 28 crossbreed chickens at 64 weeks of age and each treatment unit used one egg. The results of this study showed that different commercial probiotics supplementation had no significant effect (P>0.05) on egg weight, albumen percentage, and yolk percentage. The conclusion of this study was that supplementation of commercial probiotics through drinking water has no significant effect on egg weight, percentage of albumin and percentage of yolk, but administration of probiotic B increased egg weight and percentage of yolk of crossbreed chicken (grading up) greater than other treatments.
