Pengembangan usaha peternakan ayam petelur di Indonesia menawarkan prospek yang sangat baik. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi produksi dan kualitas telur adalah kualitas dan kuantitas pakan, penambahan Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) ke dalam pakan fermentasi adalah sebagai tambahan nutrisi yang diperoleh dari bahan alami untuk membantu pertumbuhan, produksi dan kualitas telur ayam kamaras.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) dalam pakan fermentasi terhadap produksi dan kualitas telur ayam kamaras. Rancangan yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan (16 unit percobaan). Adapun perlakuan pakan penelitian ini adalah : P0 (Pakan fermentasi 100%), P1 (Pakan fermentasi 97,5% + Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) 2,5%), P2 (Pakan fermentasi 97,5% + Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) 5%), P3 (Pakan fermentasi 92,5% + Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) 7,5%). Parameter yang diukur adalah: produksi telur harian (HDP), berat telur, indeks kuning telur, warna kuning telur, indeks putih telur, Haugh Unit (HU), dan tebal kerabang.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa penambahan Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) ke dalam pakan fermentasi tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap variabel Hen Day Production (HDP), berat telur, indeks putih telur, indeks kuning telur, Nilai HU, warna kuning telur, dan ketebalan kerabang telur ayam Kamaras. Penambahan Natural Feed Supplement dalam pakan fermentasi cukup efektif terhadap produksi dan kualitas telur ayam Kamaras, karena mampu memberikan dampak setara dengan pemberian pakan komersial.

The development of layer farming in Indonesia offers excellent prospects. One of the factors affecting egg production and quality is the quality and quantity of feed, the addition of Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) into fermented feed is an additional nutrient obtained from natural ingredients to help the growth, production and quality of kamaras chicken eggs. This study aims to determine the effect of Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) in fermented feed on the production and quality of kamaras chicken eggs. The design used in the study was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 4 replicates (16 experimental units). The feed treatments in this study were: P0 (100% fermented feed), P1 (97.5% fermented feed + Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) 2.5%), P2 (97.5% fermented feed + Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) 5%), P3 (92.5% fermented feed + Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) 7.5%). Parameters measured were: daily egg production (HDP), egg weight, yolk index, yolk color, egg white index, Haugh Unit (HU), and shell thickness. Based on the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the addition of Natural Feed Supplement (NFS) into fermented feed has no significant effect (P>0.05) on the variables of Hen Day Production (HDP), egg weight, egg white index, egg yolk index, HU value, egg yolk color, and shell thickness of Kamaras chicken eggs. The addition of Natural Feed Supplement in fermented feed is quite effective on egg production and quality of Kamaras chickens, because it is able to have an impact equivalent to commercial feeding.
