Internal Quality of Eggs from Japanese Quail (Coturnix - Coturnix Japonica L.) Feeded by Fermented Sauge Waste

Japanese quail (Coturnix-coturnix japonica L.) is one type of quail that can be developed to support animal protein sources' needs in fulfilling community nutrition. The quality and quantity of feed influences production and quality. Bean sprouts waste contains 63.35% water content, 7.35% ash content, 1.17% fat content, 13-14% crude protein, 49.44% crude fiber and 64.65% total digestible nutrient. The study aimed to obtain the best level of bean sprout waste in feed on the internal quality of quail eggs. This research has four treatments and uses a completely randomized design. The treatments were control (R0) treatment without fermented bean sprouts (LTF), P1 giving 5% LTF, P2 giving 10% LTF, and P3 giving 15% LTF. The egg weight, egg yolk diameter, yolk height, albumen height, yolk index, and Haugh units were measured. The data obtained analyzed for variance and if between treatments showed a significant effect, continued with Duncan's smallest total distance test. The results showed that the provision of fermented bean sprouts in the ration had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on albumen height and quail egg unit Haugh value. The study results show that the addition of fermented bean sprouts waste flour affects albumen height and unit Haugh value but does not affect egg weight, white diameter, yolk diameter, yolk height, and quail egg index.
