Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the supplementation of green meniran herb extract (Phylanthus niruri L) and kaffir lime leaf extract (Cytrus hystrix D. C.) on the appearance of free-range chicken semen. The study was conducted using a completely random design of unidirectional patterns, using 24 male free-range chickens aged about one year with an average weight of 1.8 kg with eight treatments, three replicates each. Each replicate consisted of 1 chicken. Basal feed uses BR-1 chicken feed produced by PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk. After 1 week of basal feeding, chicken sperm was taken and tested for control (H-0), then began to be treated with testosterone supplementation, as a positive control, meniran extract, kaffir lime leaf extract, or a mixture thereof.  The following semen collection is carried out after 1 week of treatment. Semen collection is carried out every 3 days with five intakes. This study concludes that the supplementation of green meniran herb extract and kaffir lime leaf extract or a combination thereof, macroscopic, does not change the appearance of free-range chicken semen, both volume, color, consistent odor, and pH of semen, but microscopic significantly increase sperm concentration, motility, and Viability. There was no synergy between green meniran herb extract and kaffir lime leaf extract on the appearance of chicken semen.

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.
