USE USE OF HERBAL MEDICATIONS IN RATIO ON THE PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY OF EGGS OF LAYING CHICKENS

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of using herbal ingredients on the productivity and egg quality of laying hens. This farm uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a unidirectional pattern consisting of 4 treatments repeated 4 times, namely JR0: Low Corn without the addition of herbal ingredients, JR1: Low Corn with the addition of herbal ingredients, JT0: High Corn without the addition of herbal ingredients, JT1 : High Corn with the addition of herbal ingredients. The production variables observed include: Feed Consumption, Egg Production (HDA), and Feed Conversion (FCR). Egg quality variables include: Egg Weight, Egg Yolk Color, Egg Yolk Weight, Shell Weight, and Shell Thickness. The data obtained was analyzed using anova (Analysis of Variance). With a further test DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test). The research results show thatThe use of herbal concoctions in laying hen rations has a significant effect on egg yolk color and shell thickness. However, it had no real effect on HDA, FCR, egg weight, egg yolk weight and shell weight.
