Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation of Garcinia xanthochymus extract in drinking water on the quail meat and eggs quality (fat content, protein content) and malondialdehyde (MDA) on egg yolk. This study used female quails (132 tails) aged 42 days, which were kept for 6 weeks, and then  divided into four groups treatments of drinking water, and 3 replications  each treatment.  The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with P0 (control), P1 (pH 4), P2 (pH 3), P3 (pH 2). The variables observed were moisture content, crude fat content and crude protein content in quail meat and eggs but MDA only on yolk  eggs. The results showed a significantly  decreased (p<0.05) effect of Garcinia xanthochymus extract supplementation in drinking water on MDA levels of yolk quail eggs.  However  it had no significant effect  on moisture content, crude  fat content, and crude protein content in yolk quail eggs .  The treatments had significantly increased crude protein in meat. It  was concluded that giving extract of Garcinia Xanthochymus extract (kandis acid)  at pH 2 in drinking water decreased the MDA content  of quail egg yolks.
