Effect of feeding of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) and anchovy waste on egg production of Japanese quail

In general, the market for poultry products including quails is growing around the world. Collared eggs are a healthy, delicious, cheap and readily available protein source. Two and a half eggs of quail have the same saturated fat and cholesterol as an egg of a chicken. Egg industry has expanded exponentially in our country and has become one of the most advanced industries. This is because of the big processing units, a wide selection of egg made to the specific needs of customers and goods manufactured on our market. In this, about 40 million eggs are made daily. In Malaysia, most supplies of protein for feed are imported from other countries that are costly and that impact feed costs. For that cause, local raw materials to replace the import protein supply are important to find. The group treatment of this study constructed as control group which composed of 100% of soybean meal as protein sources, Treatment 1 and Treatment 2 group which consists of 50% BSFL, 50% anchovy waste and 25% BSFL, 75% anchovy waste as substitution of protein sources, respectively. The eggs were obtained from 5 weeks old quail. The results shown for the egg production, the control group recorded the lowest. Differences among eggs weight (p<0.05) for the treatment 1 and treatment 2 groups were significant and not significant at the control groups while for the differences among weight (p>0.05) on the other hand have no significant between all groups The highest production of egg was found in Treatment 1 however Treatment 2 was determined the highest FR (p-0.05). In conclusion, this analysis shows a positive impact, as evidenced by the treatment 2 group, which consists of 25% BSFL and 75% anchovy by products as a protein source in the composition.
