Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the dietary supplementation of organic zinc on feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), egg production (EP), egg mass (EM) and quality. A total of 120 ISA-Brown layers aged 20 weeks were used in this study. Hens were distributed randomly to four treatments (30 hens of each) with three replicates. The organic zinc was supplemented into basal diet at different concentrations as follows; (T1) 0, (T2) 100, (T3) 200, and (T4) 300 mg/kg. The results showed T2 was recorded improvement significant on FI, and FCR followed by T3. Also, egg mass in T2 was increased significantly compared with T1. The T2 and T3 were significantly higher in average egg production as compared to T1 which was showed the lowest value. There was no significant effect on egg quality when supplemented organic Zn to the diet of layer hens. It might be concluded that the dietary supple-mentation of 100 mg/kg of organic Zn has improved feed consumption which is reflected in the produc-tivity of laying hens.
期刊介绍:
Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture (JITAA) is a double blind peer-reviewed publication devoted to disseminate all information contributing to the understanding and development of animal agriculture in the tropics by publication of original research papers. The journal covers all aspect relating to Animal Agriculture, including: -Animal breeding and genetics -Animal feeding and nutrition -Animal reproduction -Animal biotechnology -Animal physiology -Animal production and technology -Animal products technology -Animal management and economics -Animal products processing and animal by-products -Animal microbiology -Livestock farming systems -Other related topics in relation to animal science. The topics of research are not only on Indonesian tropical animal agriculture, but also on other tropical regions of the world.
