Abstract: The main bioactive
compound in skin Allium ascalonicum is quercetin, which serves as antibacterial
and anticholesterol agent. The purpose of this research was to investigate the
effect of skin Allium ascalonicum powder supplementation on blood profile and
egg cholesterol content of quail. One hundred and forty-four quails were
randomly allocated in 24 flocks, consisting 4 treatments and 6 replications.
Each replication consisted of 6 quails. The treatments used were P0: basal diet
(control), P1: basal diet +1% skin powder Allium ascalonicum, P2: basal diet +
2% skin of Allium ascalonicum powder, and P3: basal diet + 3% skin of Allium
ascalonicum powder. Variables observed were blood erythrocytes, hemoglobin and
egg cholesterol content. Data were analyzed using one-way Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA). Significant data was then further analyzed using Duncan Multiple Range
Test. The result showed that there was no significant effect (P>0.05) of
shallot skin powder on blood erythrocytes and hemoglobin of quail.There was
significant effect (P<0.05) of skin Allium ascalonicum powder
supplementation on egg cholesterol content. Supplementation of skin Allium
ascalonicum powder at the level of 3% (P3) could decrease egg cholesterol
content compared to control (682.20 mg/dL vs 729.80 mg/dL). The conclusion of
this research is that skin of Allium ascalonicum powder supplementation could decrease
cholesterol content in quail egg.
