Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation of organic acid and probiotic derived from grass silage on the egg quality of duck. Seventy-two Pegagan laying ducks (average age: 24 weeks) were randomly allocated to six treatment groups: basal diet, basal diet + organic acid, basal diet + probiotic, basal diet + tetracycline, basal diet + probiotic + organic acid, and basal diet + organic acid + tetracycline. The result showed that the feeding diets containing probiotics and organic acid significantly (P < 0.05) reduced yolk fat and yolk cholesterol and increased eggshell weight, egg index, yolk color score, Haugh unit, and protein content. However, egg weight, albumen weight, yolk weight, albumen index, yolk index, and water content were not significantly (P > 0.05) different. It is concluded that dietary supplementation of organic acid and probiotic derived from grass silage improved egg quality in terms of yolk color score, fat, and cholesterol content.
