Performa Produksi dan Kualitas Telur Ayam Petelur pada Sistem Litter dan Cage dengan Suhu Kandang Berbeda
Abstract: Housing temperature
and housing system may influence productive performance and egg qualities. This
research aimed to investigate the influence of different housing temperatures
and housing system on productive performance and egg qualities. A total of 72
Lohmann hens were reared in litter and cage system with different housing
temperatures of 18oC and 30oC. Each treatment consisted of 18 hens. Traits
measured were productive performance (feed intake, hen day production, egg
weight, egg mass, and feed conversion), egg internal and external qualities
(egg shape index, Haugh Unit, air sack, albumin height, egg shell cleanless,
egg shell thickness, and egg shell weight).
This experiment was run twice according to housing system for each
housing temperatures and was completely randomized design. Data was subjected
to t-test and descriptive analyses. Productive production and egg quality in
both housing systems did not differ. However, the egg weight was significantly
heavier in cage system compared to litter system in neutral housing
temperature.
