Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of fermented-pineapple peel waste (FPPW) with indigenous microorganisms (IMO) solution from bamboo sprout on performance and egg yolk cholesterol of laying hen ration. In this experiment, a total number of 200 ISA Brown laying hens with 32 weeks old with 70 egg production and average egg weight 58.58 g/egg were used. A completely randomized design was used in this experiment. Five different levels of supplementation with FPPW (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20) were used in ration, and each treatment was replicated four times. The measured parameters were daily feed consumption, daily egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and egg yolk cholesterol. The results indicated that FPPW with IMO solution from bamboo sprout as much as 20 reduced egg yolk cholesterol significantly, and did not affect daily feed consumption, daily egg production, egg weight, egg mass, and FCR significantly. It has been concluded that FPPW could be used up to 20 in laying hens rations without disrupting performance (daily feed consumption, hen day egg production, egg weight, egg mass, and FCR), and could reduce egg yolk cholesterol as much as 16.86 © 2021, Online Journal of Animal and Feed Research.
