Abstract

The research aims to find out the physical quality of laying hen eggs given Manihot esculenta extract using ingredients consisting of laying hens numbering 32 heads with the age of 1 year and for 5 weeks. The study used a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) of 4 treatments and 4 replays with observed parameters were egg weight, egg white index, egg yolk index, shell thickness, Z value, and yolk color. The data obtained were analyzed using fingerprint analysis with the Duncan test. The results of the analysis concluded that the administration of Manihot esculenta leaf extract at a level of 100 mg/bird had a significant influence on the index of egg yolks, thick egg cutting, and Z value in laying hens. However, it has no significant effect on the weight of eggs, the index of egg whites, and the yolk color of laying hens.
