Improving Broiler Chicken Farming Management in Closed Houses

M. Q. Sa’ad — 2025-01-31

Genetic improvements in broiler chickens represent a major advancement in the poultry industry. Through selective breeding techniques, broiler chickens now exhibit remarkably fast growth and improved feed conversion efficiency. Observations were conducted by comparing data from the previous period with suboptimal management and the new period with optimal management. The Coops with good management were observed over one period (approximately 6 weeks). The result were made by comparing the data between the suboptimal management with the improved management, and both sets of data were compared with the international Cobb 2021 standards. The measured variables included: depletion (%), feed consumption (g/bird), body weight (g/bird), feed conversion, performance index, and profit. Improvements in environmental conditions or milieu (temperature, humidity, feed management, water, ventilation, and litter) resulted to more optimal production performance. Depletion, feed consumption, body weight, and feed conversion met the company’s standards (body weight 2.5 kg, feed conversion 1.45, and performance index 450). The final performance was categorized as excellent, with a performance index of 512. Additionally, the profit from the new management was higher at Rp. 9,772 per bird than the old management Rp. 2,570 per bird.

Characteristics of Quail Carcass and Non Carcass Fed A Diet with Black Soldier Fly Maggot Flour

I. Rahmawati — 2025-01-31

Feed is a crucial factor in enhancing quail (Coturnix-coturnix Japonica) productivity. A Frequently used protein source in quail feed is Meat Bone Meal (MBM). However, MBM is an imported product, making it relatively expensive. An alternative to MBM is utilizing locally sourced feed ingredients, such as black soldier fly maggot. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of quail carcasses and non-carcass components from quails fed a diet containing black soldier fly maggot meal. The observed variables include slaughter weight, carcass weight, and its percentage, non-carcass weight and its percentage, commercial cut weight, and carcass percentage, as well as the weight and proportion of both edible and non-edible carcass components. The quail hens used in this study were aged 44-50 weeks and in their laying period. The research process included producing and managing black soldier fly maggot meal, preparing feed, setting up and maintaining cages, slaughtering, as well as cutting and deboning the carcasses. The treatment applied was R0 (feed with the primary protein source being MBM) and R1 (feed with the primary protein source of black soldier fly maggot). The collected data were analyzed using a two-sample t-test. The result showed that quail fed with black soldier fly meal as the primary protein source had no significant impact on slaughter weight, carcass and non-carcass percentage, commercial cut percentage, or the proportion of edible and non-edible parts. The conclusion of this study is that maggot can be used as an alternative protein source in feed as a substitute for MBM because quails fed with black soldier fly maggot flour as th eprimary protein source produced carcass and non carcass characteristics similar to those of quails fed with MBM as the main protein source.

Gerhana — 2025-01-31

The maintenance model and cattle density of Bali cattle in a central development region can influence the region’s capacity to accommodate the developed Bali cattle. Therefore, regions capable of managing good maintenance models and cattle density management are crucial to enhancing the competitiveness of Bali cattle. The purpose of this research is to analyze the cattle-raising model and the density of Bali cattle in the development center of South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. The research was conducted from June to August 2024. The research location was determined using purposive sampling in South Konawe Regency, focusing on four priority districts for Bali cattle development: Baito, Palangga, Buke, and Tinanggea, with 240 respondents being Bali cattle farmers. The research results indicate that based on the economic density parameter, the value is 107.60 ST (high), farming density is 0.19 ST (moderate), and regional density is 8.19 ST (low). According to the combinations of livestock density, the
farming-region combination has a value of 4, while the economy-farming combination and economyregion combination both have a value of 3. In terms of the rearing model, 71% of Bali cattle are raised using a semi-intensive system, while 29% are raised intensively. Additionally, the combined rearing pattern of breeding and fattening accounts for 64%, with fattening alone at 36%. Thus, the livestock density in South Konawe Regency indicates that the economic density still has potential for developing Bali cattle. The farming density is still very capable of accommodating more Bali cattle than currently present, and the regional density offers significant opportunities for Bali cattle development. The areas of distribution and development exist within the farming-region combination, while development areas are found within the economy-farming and economy-region combinations. The predominant rearing model is semi-intensive, while the breeding model is combined with fattening.

Drying technology is one method of preserving eggs by converting them into egg yolk powder. This study aims to analyze the physicochemical, microbiological and organoleptic characteristics of cookies made with egg yolk powder formulation over storage periods of 0, 15, and 30 days. The experimental design used a single factor of storage duration (0, 15, and 30 days) with analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the effect of storage time with a 95% confidence interval. Cookies with egg yolk powder formulation showed changes in both physicochemical (pH, Aw, water content and texture) and microbiological values during the storage period. There was an increase in water activity and water content of the cookies, while a decrease was observed in pH and breaking strength. The microbiological changes in the cookies still met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for cookies up to day 30 of storage. The organoleptic test results indicated that cookies with egg yolk powder formulation were generally well-received, with characteristics of color, aroma, texture, and taste falling within the range of like to favorably liked.

The findings indicate that the development of cattle breeding businesses in Cikedung is influenced by internal factors, including production performance, calf births, and increased availability of green fodder, as well as external factors, such as marketing technology and expanded market access. The priority strategies identified are (1) enhancing sales and marketing, (2) standardizing livestock quality, and (3) strengthening the capacity of livestock farmers to produce higherquality cattle at competitive prices, thereby increasing farmers income. Key recommendations include adopting group-based livestock management approaches, expanding market access, optimizing the use of livestock resources, and fostering collaborations with government entities and stakeholders to advance cattle breeding initiatives in Cikedung.

Supplementation of Brotowali Stem Meal (Tinospora Crispa L) in the Diet on Performance, and Organ Immunity of Hybrid Ducks Gunsi 888

M. A. A. A. Nurdin — 2025-01-31

The management of microbial infections in poultry farming continues to be largely antibiotic-dependent. Despite this, the application of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) in poultry feed has been banned, necessitating the use of herbal feed additives such as Brotowali (Tinospora crispa). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Brotowali stem meal on the performance and immune organs of hybrid ducks. A total of 200 hybrid ducks Gunsi 888 were used in this study, reared from 11 to 46 days of age. The ducks were fed either a basal diet as a control (P1) or a basal diet supplemented with 0.5% Brotowali stem meal (P2), 1% (P3), and 1.5% (P4). The observed immune organs included the thymus, bursa of Fabricius, and spleen. The study was conducted in Bogor, West Java, while the an analysis of Brotowali’s phytochemical properties was conducted at the Tropical Biopharmaca Research Center of IPB University. All collected data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and significant differences were further analyzed using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) with SPSS version 25. The results showed that Brotowali stem meal had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the immunity of hybrid ducks. However, Brotowali stem meal significantly (P<0.05) improved the performance of hybrid ducks, as evidenced by increased body weight and decreased feed conversion ratios. In conclusion, Brotowali can enhance the performance of hybrid ducks, and it does not affect the stress levels of the livestock.

R. Susilowarno — 2025-01-31

Water is one of the essential nutritional components that is very important in broiler chicken maintenance. Chicken drinking water consumption can indicate health or good/bad maintenance management practices. Causes of decreased water consumption include chickens being infected with a disease, environmental conditions that are too cold, uneven number and distribution of drinking places, dirty chicken drinking places, and poor water quality, especially seen from the physical water (clarity and color of the water). Observations were made by collecting data through direct observation in the field with data collection instruments in the form of observation and interviews. Observations were carried out by collecting data through direct observation in the field with data collection instruments in the form of observation, interviews and variables measured, namely testing drinking water for chickens, body weight (g/head), feed consumption (g/head), depletion (%) feed conversion, performance index and profit. Observation results
showed that water quality and quantity were proven to have a significant impact on chicken productivity according to the age and body weight of the chicken. The results obtained after water treatment were that the E.coli and salmonella levels in nipple water were below the E.coli standard <50/ml Salmonella <0/ml and the performance index obtained at the Mansur farm was 501, the Khomer farm was 413 and the palm oil farm was 471 as well as profits produced with good water quality is greater IDR. 8,623 per head, while water quality that is not good gets a smaller profit of IDR 1,973/chicken.
