Using Bay Leaf Meal (Syzygium Polyanthum, Wight) In Ration On Fat And Cholesterol Levels Of Quail Meat (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica)

Bay leafs (Syzygium polyanthum, Wight) is an Indonesian native plant which are found in the forest. Research using bay leaf meal in ration on fat and cholesterol level of quail meat (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was conducted in Bandung, Indonesia. This research used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). There were five treatments (R0 = ration without bay leaf meal as control, R1 = ration with 1% bay leaf meal, R2 = ration with 2% bay leaf meal, R3 = ration with 3% bay leaf meal, R4 = ration with 4% bay leaf meal), has five replications. The statistical analysis indicated that the effect of bay leaf meal in quail ration (0 – 4%) showed significant effects (P < 0.05) on decreasing cholesterol level of quail meat (R0 = 65.003 ; R1 = 63.264; R2 = 59.830; R3 = 54.772 and R4 = 55.497 mg/dl). Besides that, it was showed that the effect of bay leaf meal in ration (0-4%) of quail has no significant effect on decreasing fat content of quail meat (R0 = 5.86%; R1 = 5.68%; R2 = 5.52%; R3 = 5.12% and R4 = 5.35%). Results indicated that R3, was the best level of bay leaf mill added in the ration on decreasing cholesterol level until 15.57%. R4, also decreased meat cholesterol until 14.63%, but has no significant effect on decreasing fat content in quail meat.
