Effect of Dietary Fermented Fish Waste Meal on Egg Physical Quality and Reproductive Organ in Laying Quails

&lt;b&gt;Background and Objective:&lt;/b&gt; Fishmeal in Indonesia still mostly comes from abroad, while the available fish waste has not been widely processed as an alternative feed ingredient to replace it. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of feeding fermented fish waste meals in the ration on the physical quality of quail eggs and reproductive organ characteristics. &lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/b&gt; One hundred and sixty female quails, 25 weeks old, were reared until 33 weeks. The diet treatments were P0 = Control ration, P1 = Ration containing 2% fermented fish waste meal, P2 = Ration containing 4% fermented fish waste meal and P3 = Ration containing 6% fermented fish waste meal. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used with four treatments and four replications, with ten female quails per replicate. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and if there were significant differences, the data were further analyzed using Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Significance was considered at a probability level of p<0.05. The variables measured were the egg's physical quality and reproductive organs. &lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; The treatments did not significantly (p>0.05) affect egg weight, egg shape index, shell thickness, eggshell, albumen, yolk weight percentage, yolk color index, the Haugh unit, the carcass percentage and reproductive tract of quails. However, fermented fish waste meal increased the yolk color index and carcass percentage. &lt;b&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/b&gt; Fermented fish waste meal up to 6% had no negative effect on egg quality or reproductive organs of quails. Fermented fish waste meal from pineapple can be considered an alternative feed ingredient, utilizing bromelain enzymes to reduce the use of fish meal.
