Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of flavonoid papaya seed (carica papaya L) in the organic feed on egg quality and egg shell of local chickens hens. This study used 100 local chickens hens. The research used experimental methods. The design was used in this study was completely ransomized design (CRD) With 5 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments in this study consisted of P0 : based diet (BD) + 0 % organic feed with papaya seed (OFPS), P1 : Based diet (BD) 99.5 % + 0.5 % (OFPS),P2 : BD 99 % + 1 % (OFPS), P3 : BD 98 % + 2 % (OFPS), P4 : BD 97,5 + 2,5 % (OFPS). The variables measured were egg weight (g/egg), egg albumen weight (g/egg), egg yolk, egg yolk weight (g/egg),egg shell thickness (mm), egg protein (%), egg fat (%), egg cholesterol (mg/100g), egg shell calsium (%) and egg shell phosphor (%) contens of local chickens hens. The data was analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), when there was a significant effect, further tested by Least Significant Difference (LCD). Based on the research, it can be concluded the effect of flavonoid papaya seeds in the organic feed on egg quality and egg shell of local chickens hens as much as 0.5 – 2.5 percent have significant effect ( P < 0.01) on the egg weight, egg albumen, egg yolk , egg yolk weight, egg shell weight, egg shell thickness, egg protein, egg fat , egg cholesterol, egg shell kalsium, egg shell phosphor content of local chickens hens. It can be that the use of OFPS in diet up to 2.5 % could improved egg quality and egg shell of local chickens hens.
