Abstract

Feather pecking (FP) is a behavioral issue commonly found in cage-free laying hen systems, particularly in 86-week-old hens, often leading to injuries, stress, and even death. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mineral blocks as environmental enrichment on reducing FP behavior and improving production performance. A total of 4,800 Isa Brown laying hens were assigned to four treatment groups: P0 (no mineral block), P1 (1 block), P2 (2 blocks), and P3 (3 blocks). Observations included feather pecking frequency, feather condition, mortality and morbidity rates, body weight, and feed consumption. The results showed that the use of mineral blocks significantly reduced FP behavior, with the lowest frequency observed in the P3 group. Mortality and morbidity due to cannibalism were also reduced in groups receiving blocks. Body weight was more stable and tended to increase in enriched groups. The provision of mineral blocks, composed of calcium carbonate, molasses, sodium chloride, mono-sodium phosphate, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, mineral oil, and sulfur, proved effective in supporting natural pecking behavior and improving poultry welfare. The study concludes that mineral blocks can be a practical strategy to reduce FP and enhance the productivity and welfare of aging laying hens in cage-free systems.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of administering a combination of meniran (Phyllanthus niruri), turmeric (Curcuma longa), and temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) water extract in drinking water on the performance and carcass quality of broiler chickens. A total of 100 days-old broiler chickens (DOC) were used in the study which was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 5 replications, each containing 5 chickens. The treatments consisted of: P0 (control, without extract), P1 (25% meniran: 25% turmeric: 50% temulawak), P2 (25%: 50%: 25%), and P3 (50%: 25%: 25%). The extract was given in drinking water as much as 10 ml/liter from 7 to 35 days of age. The parameters observed included feed consumption, water consumption, daily body weight gain (ADG), feed conversion (FCR), carcass percentage, and abdominal fat. The results showed that the herbal extract treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on feed consumption, carcass percentage, and abdominal fat, but was not significantly different on water consumption, ADG, and FCR. Treatment P1 showed the best performance, with the highest feed consumption, the highest carcass (72.86%), and the lowest abdominal fat (1.72%). It was concluded that the administration of a combination of meniran, turmeric, and temulawak water extract with a ratio of 25:25:50 significantly increased the growth efficiency and carcass quality of broiler chickens, and could be an alternative safe and effective natural feed additive.
