Judul: Kadar Asam Urat Puyuh pada Umur Pemeliharaan yang Berbeda (18, 25, dan 330 Hari)
Abstrak: Puyuh merupakan unggas dengan masa hidup yang relatif pendek disertai laju metabolisme yang tinggi dengan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang relatif cepat. Puyuh memiliki beberapa fase umur pemeliharaan yang berpotensi memiliki kebutuhan diet yang berbeda, termasuk kebutuhan protein yang digunakan untuk pertumbuhan dan perkembangan tubuh puyuh. Asam urat merupakan hasil akhir dari metabolisme purin (protein) dan kadarnya dalam darah menggambarkan kondisi fisiologis tertentu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar asam urat darah dan bobot badan pada puyuh fase starter (umur 18 hari), grower (umur 25 hari), dan layer (umur 330 hari). Umur pemeliharaan merupakan kelompok perlakuan pada penelitian ini dengan masing-masing berjumlah sepuluh ekor per kelompok. Pengukuran kadar asam urat pada darah diambil dari rute intravena (vena brachialis) dan diukur dengan menggunakan uric acid meter. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hasil rata-rata kadar asam urat pada masing-masing fase starter, grower, dan layer adalah 8,41; 10,65; dan 8,52 mg dL-1 dengan rata-rata bobot badan masing-masing fase sebesar 70; 103,5; dan 213,2 g. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan (P≥0,05) antara umur pemeliharaan dengan kadar asam urat pada tubuh puyuh. Hasil penelitian dapat menjadi informasi ilmiah tentang kadar asam urat puyuh pada masing-masing umur yang berhubungan dengan kondisi fisiologis tertentu, Quail is a bird with a relatively short life span with a high metabolic rate and rapid growth rate. The difference of rearing age has the potential of different dietary needs, such as protein which is used to grow. Uric acid is the end product of purine (protein) metabolism and its levels in the blood can be measured and describe certain physiological conditions. This study aimed to determine uric acid levels and body weight in the quail starter phase (18 days), grower phase (25 days), and layer phase (330 days), which were determined as groups of treatment with ten quails in each rearing age. Measurement of uric acid levels using blood taken from the intravenous (brachial vein) and measured using a uric acid meter. The results showed that the average uric acid levels in each of the starter, grower, and layer phases were 8,41; 10,65; and 8,52 mg dL-1 with average body weights of each phase were 70; 103,5; and 213,2 g. The results of statistical analysis showed that there was no difference (P≥0.05) in the uric acid levels in the blood among the rearing ages. The results of the study can be used for scientific information regarding quail uric acid levels at each age associated with certain physiological conditions.

Judul: Jumlah BDM (Butir Darah Merah), Hemoglobin dan Hematokrit Burung Puyuh pada Fase Starter, Grower, dan Layer
Abstrak: Burung puyuh merupakan salah satu sumber diversifikasi produk daging dan telur. Tahap pertumbuhan pada masa pemeliharaan burung puyuh sebagai unggas petelur terdiri dari fase starter, fase grower, dan fase layer. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui dan mempelajari profil butir darah merah berupa jumlah eritrosit, kadar hemoglobin dan nilai hematokrit pada pertumbuhan burung puyuh starter, grower, dan layer. Sebanyak 30 ekor burung puyuh terdiri dari 10 ekor masing-masing fase diambil darahnya melalui vena brachialis untuk dianalisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah butir darah merah pada fase starter, grower, layer berturut- turut yaitu 4,73 x 106/mm3, 3,91 x 106/mm3, 3,89 x 106/mm3. Kadar hemoglobin pada fase starter, grower, layer yaitu 9,86 g/dL, 9,42 g/dL, 11,88 g/dL. Nilai hematokrit pada fase starter, grower, layer, yaitu 29,55 %,33,00 %, dan 30,45 %. Hasil ini menunjukkan nilai yang fluktuatif dari jumlah butir darah merah, kadar hemoglobin dan nilai hematokrit pada semua fase burung puyuh, namun terjadi peningkatan yang signifikan pada kadar hemoglobin fase layer., Quail is a diversified source of meat and egg products. The growth stage during the rearing of quail as laying birds consists of a starter phase, a grower phase, and a layer phase. This study aims to determine and study the profile of red blood cells in the form of the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin levels and hematocrit values on the growth of starter, grower, and layer quail. A total of 30 quails consisting of 10 birds of each phase, blood was taken through the brachial vein for analysis. The results showed that the number of red blood cells in the starter, grower, layer phases were 4.73 x 106/mm3, 3.91 x 106/mm3, 3.89 x 106/mm3. Hemoglobin levels of starter, grower, layer phases were 9.86 g/dL, 9.42 g/dL, 11.88 g/dL. The hematocrit values of starter, grower, layer phases were 29.55%, 33.00%, and 30.45%. These results showed a fluctuating value of the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin levels and hematocrit values in all phases of quail, but there was a significant increase in hemoglobin levels in the layer phase.
