Abstract

The community's growing demand for chicken meat as an animal protein source has presented farmers with the challenge to alter the care of broiler chickens by using high cage density. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of diet supplementation with encapsulated extract of kenikir (Cosmos caudatus) and bitter (Andrographis paniculata) extracts on broiler diet to growth perfor-mance, immunity status, and carcass proportion. A total of 370 day-old Cobb broiler chicks, weighing 45.25 ± 0.89 g, were divided into five groups: T0: control, basal diet + density 10 chicks/m2, T1: basal diet + density 16 chicks/m2, T2: basal diet + density 16 chicks/m2 + Cosmos caudatus 1 g/kg feed, T3: basal feed + density 16 chicks/m2 + Andrographis paniculata 1 g/kg feed, T4: basal feed + density 16 chicks/m2 + Cosmos caudatus 0.5 g/kg feed + Andrographis paniculata 0.5 g/kg feed). At the end of the study, the blood sample and internal organ were collected to further analysis. The final weights of groups T2, T3, and T4 were better than T0 and T1, while T1 has the lowest weight among the other groups. Chicks in T0, T2, T3 and T4 had lower PDW levels compared to T1. Chicks in T4 have a high-er jejunum villi height compared to T0, T1, T2 and T3 groups. The treatments did not affect the small intestine and giblets relative organ wights (P>0.05). The group of T0, T2, T3, and T4 have a fewer duo-denum lesion compared to T1. The group of T2, T3, and T4 have a better structure in jejunum cells compared to T0 and T1. Lesion score of Bursa Fabricius and spleen were greater in T3 and T4 com-pared to T0, T1 and T2 groups. And T1 have the lowest ND antibody compared to other groups. In con-clusion, giving encapsulation of kenikir (Cosmos caudatus) and bitter (Andrographis paniculata) ex-tracts on broiler diet can improve production performance and immune status of broiler chickens.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of different frequencies of Spirulina platensis S. platensis )supplementation on blood parameters, protein digestibility, fecal characteristics, egg quality, and production performance in laying hens. A total of 224 ISA Brown hens (55 weeks old, BW ±1907 g) were assigned to four groups: T0 (control, basal feed), T1 (0.5% S. platensis daily), T2 (0.5% every other day), and T3 (0.5% twice a week). The trial lasted for eight weeks, with weekly measurements of feed intake, egg production, and egg quality. Blood was collected at the end of the experiment to assess hematological profiles, while fecal samples were analyzed for protein digestibility and nitrogen excretion. Results showed that T3 and T4 significantly increased red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit value, and leukocyte count compared to the control (P<0.05). Compared to T0, nitrogen retention and protein digestibility coefficients (%) in T1, T2, and T3 were significantly different (P<0.05). Excretory nitrogen levels in the treatment groups (T1, T2, and T3) were substantial-ly lower than those in T0 (P<0.05). Compared to T0, fecal ammonia levels in the treatment groups (T1, T2, and T3) were lower. The water content in T3 was significantly higher than that in T2 (P<0.05). Haugh Unit values in T1 and T2 were significantly higher than those in T0 and T3 (P<0.05). HDP at weeks 6 and 12 in T1, T2, and T3 were significantly higher than those in T0 (P<0.05). In conclusion, S. platensis supplementation enhanced hematological status, nutrient utilization, fecal characteristics, egg quality, and production performance. Twice-weekly supplementation (T3) was as effective as the more frequent regimens, suggesting a practical and cost cost-efficient strategy for laying hens.

Abstract

The present study examined the consequences of supplementing the diets of low-weight day-old broiler chicks (DOC) with 4% infertile egg powder (IEP). The chicks were categorized into three groups namely; normal-weight DOC, low-weight DOC on a basal diet, and low-weight DOC on a diet that contained 4% IEP (T2). In hematological analysis, there was increase in hemoglobin levels, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) compared to T2, but the MCV was less than T0 (p<0.05). There was improvement in the lipid metabolism, whereby triglyceride and HDL levels reduced and increased, respectively (p<0.05). T2 showed an improved antioxidant status; it had an increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a decreased level of malondialdehyde (MDA) (p<0.05). Ileal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coliform counts were also substantially reduced in T2 vs. T0 (p<0.05), whereas both caecal coliform counts and LNE counts and the LAB-to-coliform ratio were significantly worse in T1 and T2 than T0 (p<0.05). Histological findings expressed the aspect of villus height-to-crypt depth (VH/CD) ratio that was greater in duodenum and ileum of T2 than T1, and deeper crypt in the jejunum in T0 than T1 (p<0.05). There was significant reduction in lesion score in duodenum and the jejunum as seen in T2 group (p<0.05). T2 also had much higher weight gain (p<0.05). per day, feed consumption and body weight at the end when compared to T1. To summarize the findings, the supplement of 4% IEP via the diet improved the physiological functioning and intestinal health status, causing the rise in body weights in low-weight broiler chicks.

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effect of using eggshell waste or eggshell extract as organic calcium source in feed on the physiological conditions and intestines of broilers. A total of 392 one-day-old chicks were randomly distributed into four groups (10 birds each group), CONT (control diet con taining 1% limestone as an inorganic calcium source), EGFL (feed containing 1% eggshell powder as an organic calcium source), EEG1 (feed containing 1% eggshell extracted with Averrhoa bilimbi L. fruit filtrate as an organic calcium source), and EEG05 (feed containing 0.5% eggshell extracted using A. bilimbi L. fruit filtrate). Body weight and feed intake were recorded weekly, whereas blood, intesti nal content, and small intestinal segments were collected at day 35. Our results showed that during days 8-35, weight gain and feed consumption were lower (P<0.05) in EEG05 than in CONT and EGFL. Thymus relative weight tended (P=0.08) to be lower in EEG05 than in CONT, and gizzard was lower (P<0.05) in EGFL than in CONT and EEG05. Serum total triglyceride was significantly higher in CONT than in other groups. Moreover, serum high-density lipoprotein was higher in EEG1 and EE G05 than in CONT (P<0.05). furthermore, serum albumin were higher (P<0.05) in EEG1 than in CONT, EGFL and EEG05. Additionally, serum uric acid was higher (P<0.05) in EEG1 than in EGFL and EEG05. Among the groups, SGPT levels were lowest (P<0.05) in EEG05 birds. While there was no effect (P>0.05) of treatments on coliform and lactic acid bacteria in the ileum and caecum, jejunal crypt depth tended (P=0.09) to be lower in EEG1 and EEG05 than in CONT and EGFL broilers. Con clusively, using 1% eggshell powder or eggshell extract in feed as the substitute for limestone had no detrimental effect on broiler chickens’ growth, physiological status and intestinal condition. Hence, eggshell powder or eggshell extracted with A. bilimbi L. fruit filtrate can be used as an organic calcium source to replace limestone.

Abstract

The study’s objective was to estimate the association among various linear body measurements and body weights of adult Kacang goats. The data was obtained from 209 heads of adult Kacang Goat, compressed 78 bucks and 131 ewes. The morphological evaluation was performed by measuring body weight (BW), body length (BL), chest depth (CD), chest girth (CG), chest width (CW), and withers height (WH). Factor PROCEDURE was performed to estimate the principal component. The result of factor analysis was used to determine the independent variable for linear regression analysis. BW has a favorable correlation with CG, BL, CD, CW, and WH for bucks and ewes. PC 1 accounts for 55.62% of the variation in bucks, while PC 2 accounts for an additional 18.34%. PC 1 accounts for just 0.45% of the overall variation in ewes, whereas PC 2 accounts for 0.24%. The R-squared (R2) values for bucks and ewes in the regression equation with CG as the independent variable are 0.32 and 0.41, respectively. For both bucks and ewes, the regression equation with CW as the independent variable had a higher R2 of 0.52 and 0.20, respectively. For bucks and ewes, the regression equation'sR2 values are 0.54 and 0.44, respectively, with combined CG and CW acting as independent variables. This integrated approach to analyzing body measurements in Kacang Goats provides a robust foundation for making informed decisions in goat farming.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of adding Spirulina platensis to replace zinc bacitracin on performance, egg quality, blood profile, total gut bacteria, and liver histopathology of local indigenous Arab chicken (Gallus turcicus). One hundred and eight 28-week-old laying hens were distributed randomly to three treatments: T0 (control diet), T1 (T0 + 1% S. platensis), and T2 (T0 + 0.04% zinc bacitracin). The treatment was applied for 49 days. S. platensis and zinc bacitracin decreased feed intake (p<0.05), but the egg mass had no significant effect; this provides a good improvement in feed conversion ratio (p<0.05). S. platensis helped maintain persistent egg production (p<0.05). S. platensis and zinc bacitracin provided the best results on haugh unit (p<0.05). S. platensis increased the yolk score (p<0.05). Zinc bacitracin decreased erythrocytes (p<0.05) but was not significantly different from S. platensis. S. platensis and zinc bacitracin increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (p<0.05). Blood chemical profile and total gut bacteria were not affected by the treatments. S. platensis was the best at maintaining liver’s health (p<0.05). This research concludes that S. platensis can efficiently optimize feed consumption, enhance performance, maintain egg quality, and protect the liver damage of Arab chicken. Therefore, S. platensis could be considered to replace the use of antibiotics.

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementing chitosan, Bacillus subtilis or blends of both on broiler growth performance, immune response, biochemical variables, and intestinal ecology of broiler chickens. Two hundred and eighty day-old chicks were distributed into 4 experimental groups, including T0 (control, basal feed), T1 (basal feed + chitosan 0.1% feed), T2 (basal feed + B. subtilis 0.01% feed), and T3 (basal feed + chitosan 0.1% feed + B. subtilis 0.01% feed). Variables measurements and sample collection were conducted on day 35. The T3 did not differ from T0 and T1, but they consumed less (p≤0.05) feed than T2 chickens. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lower (p≤0.05) in T1 and T3 compared to T0 and T2 groups. Leukocyte counts in T2 and T3 were higher (p≤0.05) than those in T0. The T1, T2, and T3 had higher (p≤0.05) lymphocyte counts than T0. The T3 had lower (p≤0.05) low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels than the T0 group. The T2 had higher (p≤0.05) levels of total protein and globulin than T3 and T0. Compared to T0 and T3, serum albumin levels were greater (p≤0.05) in T1 and T2. The T3 had higher (p≤0.05) duodenal villi height than that in the other groups. The T2 and T3 chicks had higher (p≤0.05) Newcastle disease titer than T0 and T1. Compared to T2 and T3, T0 and T1 showed a worse (p≤0.05) microscopic structure of jejunum. The T2 and T3 showed lower (p≤0.05) lesion score in bursa of fabricius than that in the other groups. In conclusion, the blends of chitosan and B. subtilis resulted in improved FCR, higher leukocyte and lymphocyte counts, lower LDL, higher duodenal villi height, higher Newcastle disease titer, better microscopic structure of jejunum, and lower lesion score in bursa of fabricius of broiler chickens.
