Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to identify the effect of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal addition to the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) egg production and physical quality. The material used in this study was a 6-week-old female quail totaling 120 birds kept for 7 weeks.This study employed experimental method and Completely Randomizd Design (CRD). The addition of BSFL meal consisted of 4 different treatments with 5 replications of each treatment, namely P0: Ration without addition BSFL meal; P1: 3.18% BSFL meal (6.67% fish meal crude protein); P2: 6.37% BSFL meal (3.34% fish meal crude protein); P3: 9.56% BSFL meal (0% fish meal crude protein). The observed variables were egg production and physical quality of quail eggs. The results of the study indicated that BSFL meal addition in quail did not significantly affect (P <0.05) on egg weight, haugh unit, egg yolk index and egg yolk color. Conversely, the addition of BSFL meal significantly affected (P <0.05) on egg production and egg shell thickness. The egg production of treatment eggs P0 and P1 was significantly (P <0.05) higher than P2 and P3. Egg production of P0 and P1 were significantly higher (P<0.05) than P2 and P3. The eggshell thickness of P0, P1 and P2 were significantly higher (P<0.05) than P3. The addition of BSFL meal at the concentration of 9.56% subtituting 100% fish meal in quail feed did not affect negatively the egg weight, haugh unit, yolk index and yolk color.
