Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementation of Ternate cinnamon flour (Cinnamomum spp.) in rations on internal organ phenotypes, age of first egg-laying and quality of Japanese quail eggs (Coturnix coturnix japonica). A total of 192 two-week-old female quails were used with a complete random design (RAL) consisting of four treatments and four replicates, 12 each per replication, for a total of 192 quails. The treatment provided included a control ration without cinnamon flour (P0), supplementation of 1% (P1), 2% (P2), and 3% (P3). The parameters observed included liver weight, spleen weight, age of first egg, egg index, egg weight, and shellwork thickness. The results showed that cinnamon flour supplementation had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on liver weight, age of first egging, and egg shell quality. A 2% cinnamon flour (P2) treatment provides the best results with normal internal organs, faster egg-laying life, and optimal egg quality. Thus, cinnamon flour supplementation can be a natural strategy to improve the productivity and reproductive health of Japanese quails.
