Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the effects of adding nano-encapsulated graviola (Annona muricata Linn.) leaf extract (NGLE) to drinking water on microbial populations, jejunal morphology, and growth performance of broilers. A total of 300 seven-day-old Lohmann male broilers were allocated into 6 treatments with 5 replications and 10 chicks in each replicate pen. All birds were given the same basal diet but given drinking water treated with: drinking water only as a negative control (T1), drinking water + 25 mg/L Tetracycline (T2), drinking water + 15 mL/L GLE (T3), drinking water + 30 mL/L GLE (T4), drinking water + 15 mL/L NGLE (T5), or drinking water + 30 mL/L NGLE (T6). Variables observed in the current study included: body weight gain (BWG), final body weight (FBW), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed intake (FI), carcass percentage, jejunal lactic acid bacteria (LAB), jejunal coliform bacteria, villus height and width, crypt depth, and crypt depth ratio. All variable data were statistically analyzed using a completely randomized design with one-way arrangement. Results showed that the addition of NGLE in drinking water improved (p<0.05) jejunal morphology, jejunal LAB, and growth performance of broiler chickens. The height of jejunal villus and population of jejunal LAB increased (p<0.01) when NGLE up to a dose of 15 mL/L was added into the drinking water. Supplementing 15 mL/L NGLE reduced (p<0.01) feed conversion ratio and improved (p<0.01) final body weight and carcass production compared with the other treatments. It is concluded that supplementation of 15 mL/L NGLE might be useful as an alternative for antibiotics growth promoters in poultry.

Abstract

This study aimed to observe the characteristics of nanoencapsulation of Terminalia catappa leaf extract (NETLE) in drinking water as an antibacterial agent and its effects on growth traits, intestinal microflora population, and intestinal micromorphology in broiler chickens. In this study, as many as 192 male broiler chickens were kept in a semi-closed house and distributed into six treatments with four replications, each replication consisting of eight birds, with the experimental treatments consisting of water without any additive (T0; negative control), water added with 50 ppm antibiotics tetracycline (T1; positive control), water added with 15 mL/L T. catappa leaf extract (T2), water added with 30 mL/L T. catappa leaf extract (T3), water added with 15 mL/L NETLE (T4), water added with 30 mL/L NETLE (T5). The diet consisted of yellow corn and soybean meal with 22.09% crude protein, 3155.05 kcal/kg metabolizable energy, 1.10% calcium, and 0.67% available phosphorus. The study showed that the size of NETLE was 77.2 nm with a Polydispersity Index of 0.417 and a zeta potential value of +44.8 mV. It proved that NETLE had antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The administration of NETLE in drinking water did not affect growth performance, villus width, and crypt depth, yet reduced Salmonella sp. population (p<0.01) and increased lactic acid bacteria population (p<0.01), villus height (p<0.01), and the ratio of villus height to crypt depth (p<0.05). The findings showed the beneficial function of NETLE additions in drinking water to improve histomorphology and reduce pathogens in the intestinal of broiler chickens.
