Abstract


UTILIZATION OF YELLOW PUMPKIN WASTE PRODUCT (Cucurbita moschata) IN RATION OF LAYING HENS ON INTERNAL EGG CHARACTERISTICS. The aim of this research is to know the effect of the use of yellow pumpkin flour/waluh (cucurbita moschata) in laying chicken feed against egg white index, egg yolk index, and yolk color. This study used 100 laying chickens aged 42 weeks. This research was conducted at Animal Product Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry of Sam Ratulangi University. The observed variables consisted of egg white index, yolk index and yolk color. The method used is a complete randomized design consisting of five treatments and 5 replications. The treatment is the replacement of yellow pumpkin flour, with each treatment is R0 = Basic ration without using yellow pumpkin flour, R1 = Ration 98% 2% yellow pumpkin flour, R2 = base ration 96% + 4% yellow pumpkin flour, R3 = base ration 94% + 6% yellow pumpkin flour, R4 = base ration 92% + 8% yellow pumpkin flour. The results showed that the use of yellow pumpkin flour at level 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% in the ration gave no significant effect (P> 0.05) on egg white index, yolk index, and yolk color. The conclusion is that the use of pumpkin flour waste up to 8% level in laying chicken feed gives the same result to egg white index, yolk index and yolk color.

Key words: Pumpkin waste, egg, hen.
