Characterisation Two Types of Feed on Production Performances of Laying Hen in Blitar Regency, East Java
Abstract: This study was
conducted to compare the use of two types of feed on production performances of
laying hen (feed consumption, egg production, feed conversion ratio, and
population depletion) in Blitar Regency. Data were collected from several
laying hen farms in Blitar Regency with survey method. All data were then
analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The average feed price of semi
self-mixed feed and total self-mixed feeds were Rp 5,031 and Rp 4,752 per kg.
Hen received semi self-mixed feed in one period showed 117.5 g/hen/day of feed
intake, 70.38% of egg production, 2.62 of feed conversion ratio, and 20.50% of
population depletion. Meanwhile, the total self-mixed feed resulted 118.23
g/hen/day of feed consumption, 71.75% of egg production, 2.39 of feed
conversion ratio, and 15.94 of population depletion in one period. The
proximate analysis showed that the total self-mixed feed had better nutrient
balance compared to semi self-mixed feed, based on SNI 01-3929-2006 standard.
As conclusion the total self-mixed feed showed more optimal production
performances than semi self-mixed feed.
