Abstract
The aim of this study was to observe the effect of fat supplementation containing high palmitic acid enriched with lecithin on the performances of quail starter-grower phase. This study used a completely randomized design with 330 female day old quails Coturnix Coturnix Japonica randomized and entered into 5 treatments consisted of commercial feed (T0), T0 + 2.5% fat local + 6% lecithin from added fat (T1), T0 + 2.5% fat commercial + 6% lecithin from added fat (T2), T0 + 5% fat local + 6% lecithin from added fat (T3), T0 + 5% fat commercial + 6% lecithin from added fat (T4). The results showed that fat supplementation containing high palmitic acid enriched with lecithin was not significantly different (P<0.05) on body weight, daily body weight gain at the age of 36-42 days, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and mortality but daily body weight gain was significantly different (P<0.05) at the age of 8-35 days. Local fat supplementation containing high palmitic acid produced a higher income over feed cost than the control treatment and fat commercial treatment. Fat supplementation containing high palmitic acid enriched with lecithin did not interfere with quail health status as a whole.
