Abstract

The efforts to support food security and increase the income of farmers, local chickens have a great potential to be developed into superior breeds, including superior egg production. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and chemical composition of eggs produced from Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) Jatinom chickens crossed with Merawang Sembawa, Merawang Bangka and Murung Panggang chickens. The evaluation of the quality of chicken eggs included the exterior and interior quality, while the chemical composition of the eggs was evaluated by proximate analysis included moisture, ash, protein, fat and carbohydrate content. The research data were analysed by One Way ANOVA. The results showed that the eggs of the three types crossed of local chickens were generally oval in shape and intermediate in colour. Local chicken crossed type had a significant effect (p<0.05) on weight, albumen index, yolk index, yolk color, Haugh Unit (HU), albumen pH and yolk pH, but had no effect on egg specific gravity, egg index, shell thickness and shell weight. The crossed type of local chicken had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the moisture content of the yolk, but had no effect on the moisture, ash, protein and carbohydrate content of albumen as well as ash, protein, carbohydrate and fat content in egg yolk. In conclusion, the best quality of the exterior namely weight of the eggs, were the eggs from crossed of KUB with Merawang Bangka chicken. While, the best quality of interior namely albumen index, yolk index, yolk color and HU value, were the eggs from crossed of KUB with Murung Panggang chicken. In general, differences in the types of local chicken crossed did not affect the chemical composition of the eggs produced.
