Abstract
A research was conducted to evaluate the effects of utilization of different processing techniques of skipjack
fishbone (Katsuwanus pelamis L ) meal in the diets on Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica ) performance.
The present study has been conducted for six weeks using 120 five weeks old quail birds. Experimental design
used was a Completely Randomized Design with six treatments and four replications. Treatments were: (T0) =
commercial bone meal ; ( T1) = Green fish bone meal ; (T2) = Raw fish bone meal ; ( T3) = Steam fish bone meal
; (T4) = Calcinated fish bone meal ; and (T5) = Special fish bone meal. The rations were formulated iso-protein
and iso-energy. Variables measured were: feed consumption, average daily gain, feed efficiency ratio, hen day
production, and egg weight. Research results showed that there were no significant effects (P>0.05) on feed
consumption, average daily gain, hen day production, and feed efficiency ratio; but there was a significant effect
(P<0.05) on egg weight. Feed consumption during the research were 944.07-951.51 g, daily gain were 49.71 -
50,90 g; hen day production were 42.86 - 46.79%; feed efficiency ratio were 0.53 - 0.56; and egg weight were
9.07 - 9.51 grams. Egg weight in T5 (special fishbone meal) was higher (9.51 g) compared with T0 (9.07 g), and
there were no significant different (P>0.05) among T5 and T1, T2, T3, and T4 . It can be concluded that different
processing methods of fishbone as calcium sources in the diets did not influence feed consumption, daily gain,
feed conversion ratio, hen day production, but T5 (special fishbone meal) increased egg weight of Japanese quails.
