Febrianto AD, Puspitasari R, Sudibya, Hanifa A. 2015. Effect of fish oil supplementation lemuru and L-carnitine in commercial rasum the quail egg production (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Bioteknologi 12: 1-7. This study aims to determine the effect supplementation of lemuru fish oil of L-carnitine and the production and quality of quail eggs. Animals used in this study were 240 female quails aged 45 weeks. Rations used in the form of commercial rations, lemuru fish oil and L-carnitine. The experimental study was conducted using completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments provided include commercial ration without lemuru fish oil and L-carnitine (P0), whereas commercial ration and supplemented with lemuru fish oil level of 1%, 2 %, 3 %, and 4 % containing 0.002 % L-carnitine is referred to as P1, P2, P3, and P4. The results showed that supplementation lemuru fish oil up to 4 % of L-carnitine containing 0.002 % can improve quail egg yolk color but can not fix the variable production and other egg quality. Supplementation lemuru fish oil 1 % and 2 % on commercial ration containing L-carnitine same of 0.002 % can fix quail feed conversion.
