Pemanfaatan Probiotik Guna Peningkatan Kualitas Telur Puyuh

Abstract

This study was conducted to ascertain the effect of adding probiotic into feed on the quality of quail’s eggs.Lactobacillus salivariusencapsulation (Lsencaps)was used as probiotic. Arandomized block design was used to assign four levels of Ls encapsadministration, that is P0 = Standard feed without Ls encaps, P1 = P0 +107cells/gLs encaps,P2 = P0+108cells/gLs encapsand P3 = P0+109cells/gLs encaps.The results showed that adding Ls encapsdid not alter significant egg quality (egg weight,the level protein of egg,andegg shell) but it significantly lowered cholesterol content in egg. In conclusion, L. Salivarius encapsmay be used as a feed additive in quail diets to reduce egg cholesterol content.43.85%, respectively. In conclusion, Ls encapsmay be usedas a feed additive forquail to enhance egg quality leading to improveour health.
