Respon Pemberian Tepung Daun Kelor (Moringa oleifera) pada Pakan Ayam Petelur terhadap Penampilan Produksi dan Kualitas Telur
Abstract: The purpose of this
study was to determine the effect of Moringa leaf meal (Moringa oleifera) in
feed on production performance and egg quality of laying hens. The materials
used 120 laying hens of Isa Brown breed in 38 to 42 weeks age. The method used
an experimental trial by Moringa oleifera addition in the basal feed. The
experiment were devided into four groups i.e. without Moringa oleifera as
control (P0), with Moringa oleifera 0.5% (P1), 1% (P2), 1.5% (P3) and 2% (P4).
Variables observed were the appearance of egg production and quality. The data
was analyzed by Completely Randomized one way design. The mean differences were
calculated by the Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that
administration of Moringa leaf powder can increase the production and quality
of eggs in laying hens. Addition of 2% Moringa leaf powder in the feed gives
the best effect on the appearance and quality of production and egg. This
research suggested the addition of 2% Moringa leaf powder was recommended in
order to obtain the finest appearance and quality of production.
