The Effect of Vegetable Waste Flour as Substitution of Feed on Production Performance and Income Over Feed Cost of Male Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Abstract

The aim of the research was to determine the effects of vegetables waste flour use on the production performance and income over feed cost (IOFC) of male quail. Four hundred of male quails were divided into four groups with five replications. The experiment used completely randomized design and the data were analysed by analysis of variances. The observed variables were The variables observed were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and calculation method of income over feed cost (IOFC). If there is a difference of treatment continued by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The experimental diet were P0 = basal diet, P1 = 97% basal diet + 3% vegetables waste flour, P2 = 94% basal diet + 6% vegetables waste flour, and P3 = 91% basal ration + 9% vegetables waste flour. Result showed that the used of vegetable waste flour had no effect on production performances but income over feed cost had IDR. 333 more efficient for each quail than basal diet (control).
