Abstract
The results showed that comparing egg percentage, egg weight, egg shell thickness eggshell weight Yolk weight egg white height and hog unit of laying hens fed diet using plant leaf substitute protein source from organic soybean meal were not statistically differed (p>0.05). In terms of egg white and yolk quality of organic chicken eggs can be used high protein plant leaves instead of organic soybean meal protein. It was found that cassava leaves was more effective than acacia leaves and mulberry leaves based on egg white weight, and the color of the egg yolk was significantly higher than the leaves of other plants. It can be concluded that the use of cassava leaves as raw material to replace protein sources from soybean meal in organic laying hen diet. Because there was no difference in egg percentage, egg weight and eggshell characteristics, but the egg white height was higher. The color of the egg yolk was significantly higher than the raw material from other plant leaves, and the egg quality level was AA level. Cassava leaves are also readily available raw materials and it is cheaper than using organic soybean meal.
