Abstract

INTERNAL QUALITY OF STRAIN MB 402 LAYING HEN EGG CONSUMING DIETS CONSISTED OF CAKALANG (Skipjack Tuna) FISH OIL WASTE. The purpose of the present study was to determine the inclusion of cakalang (Skipjack tuna) fish oil waste (STO) in the diets on egg weight, egg yolk weight, and egg yellow color. A total of 100 MB 402 laying hen aged 36 weeks old were randomly allocated to 5 treatments with 5 replications, each cage unit consisting of 4 chickens. The treatments used were: basal ration without STO (R0), basal feed 99% + 1% STO (R1), basal ration 98% + 2% STO (R2), basal ration 97% + 3% STO (R3), basal ration 96% + 4% STO (R4). The variables measured were: egg weight, yolk weight, and egg yolk color. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used as an experimental design. Research results showed that the inclusion of cakalang (Skipjack tuna) fish oil waste (STO) in the diets of MB 402 laying hen did not give a significant (P > 0.05) effect on egg weight, yolk weight, and egg yolk color. It can be concluded that the inclusion of  skipjack fish waste in diets up to 4% has no substantial effect on the internal quality of eggs.
