The present study was conducted to evaluate the feeding effect of diet composed of microparticle protein added with lime juice as an acidifier on immune status and efficiency of protein utilization in relation to the growth of broiler chicken. Dietary treatments tested were P1 was diet with 20% intact protein and CaCO3 as a Ca source, P2 was diet with 20% microparticle protein and eggshell as a Ca source added with 1.2% lime juice, and P3 was diet with 20% microparticle protein and eggshell as a Ca source added with 2.4% lime juice. Variables measured were protein and amino acids digestibility, retentions of N and Ca, fecal Nτ–methyl histidine (Nτ–MH) excretion as a protein turnover index, lymphoid organs, heterophil and lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, immunoglobulin A (IgA) as a body resistance indicator, feed consumption, body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 8 replications. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and Duncan test at 5% probability. Protein and amino acid digestibility, N, and Ca retentions were significantly (p

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of 2% synbiotic ( Lactobacillus casei + dahlia tuber extract/LEDT or Lactobacillus casei + garlic extract/LEGT) on intestinal bacteria, nutrient digestibility, and growth of broiler chickens. A total of 150 birds of one-day-old male Cobb broiler were randomly assigned into three groups of treatment with five replications (10 birds each). Dietary treatments applied were T0 = basal ration, T1 = basal ration + 2% LEDT, T2 = basal ration + 2% LEGT. Synbiotics were given to starter chicken (from 2 to 3 weeks old). Parameters observed were intestinal bacteria (total lactic acid bacteria/LAB and coliform counts), nutrients digestibility, and body weight. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and followed by Duncan test. The results showed that the population of intestinal LAB in synbiotic-treated birds significantly (P

This research aims to determine the effect of administering a combination feed of calcium microparticle protein with Lactobacillus acidophilus or citric acid on fat digestibility and the meat of broiler chicken. The cattle used in this research are 15 days old broiler chickens, amounted in 160 chickens. The study uses complete random design (RAL) with 5 treatments and 4 repeat treatmens (8 chickens each). The treatment applied were as follows: T0 (non-microbial feed (protein 21%)), T1 (non-microparticle feed (18% protein + Lactobacillus acidophilus 1.2 ml (108 CFU/ml)), T2 (non-microparticle feed (18% protein + Citric acid 1.2%), T3 (Microparticle feed (18%) + Lactobacillus acidophilus 1.2 ml (108 CFU/ml)), T4 (microparticle feed (18% protein + Citric acid 1.2%). The observed parameters are the digestibility of fat, fat mass of meat, the percentage of abdominal fat and the increase in body weight. The analyzed data results were variegated and continued using Duncan's multiple range test at a 5% probability. Treatment was given from the age of 15 days to 42 days. The results of the study show that the digestibility of fats that had the treatment of feeding protein and calcium microparticles with the addition of real effect Lactobacillus acidophilus is lower than the T0 and T2 but not unlike the T1 and T4 (P

This study aim ed to determine the digestibility of crude protein, calcium and phosphorus ret ention in rations using gamal leaf and cekuti leaf flour o n grower turkey poults . Animals used were 8 weeks old turkey, totaling 100 unsex. The study used a randomized block design (RBD) using 5 treatments and 4 groups. Grouping was based on body weight s; group 1 has a weight of 725 - 849 grams, group 2 has a weight of 850 - 974 grams, group 3 has a weight of 975 - 1099 grams, group 4 has a weight of 1100 - 1224 grams, each group consisting of 25 turkeys. The treatments given include T0 = without any gamal and cekuti given , TI = giving rations with 5 % gamal , T2 = giving rations with 10% gamal , T3 = giving ration with 5% of cekuti and T4 = givin g ration with 10% of cekuti . The data obtained were carried out by the F test and Duncan's multiple range with a level of 5%. The results showed that the use of gamal leaf flour and s cruff on the ration for grower turkey had a significant effect (P˂0.05) on crude protein digestibility, calcium and phosphorus retention and in grower turkey . The conclusion is that as much of 5% g amal leaf flour can be used in turkey rations.

Rearing Pelung chicken in Indonesia, in general, uses a ration with a high proportion of rice bran, even up to 60%. Considering the high contents of fiber, lignin, and phytic acid, feeding a high portion of rice bran will decrease nutrient digestibility. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of lime juice supplementation of a rice bran-based ration on the utilization of nutrients in male Pelung chicken. Sixty four of 12 weeks old male Pelung chickens were used in the present experiment and assigned into a completely randomized block design. The treatments were supplementation of the ration with lime juice at the levels of 0, 1, 2, and 3 mL/100 g. Parameters measured were feed and nutrients consumption, protein, fat, and fiber digestibilities, apparent metabolizable energy (AME), rate of passage, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and daily body weight gain. The results showed that the supplementation of lime juice in the ration did not affect feed and nutrient consumption, but significantly (P

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of feeding prebiotics on protein metabolism characteristics and growth performance of broilers. A completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications was arranged. Heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, protein metabolism characteristics (protein digestibility, fecal Nt-MH excretion, and meat protein mass), and growth performances (feed consumption, BWG, and FCR) were the parameters observed. Analysis of variance was performed to statistically evaluate the data, and continued to Duncan test at 5% probability. Protein digestibility, and meat protein mass in T1 and T2 were significantly (P

Onion and garlic husks contain antioxidant compounds such as allinin, allisin and flavonoid. The compounds are able to decrease fat and cholesterol levels in the body. This study was carried out to determine the effect of feeding onion husk powder (OHP) and garlic husk powder (GHP) on protein, cholesterol and fat content of Mojosari duck meat. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) and used 168 birds of 4 weeks old male Mojosari ducks. The ducks were divided into 7 treatments and 4 replications (6 ducks each). The treatments were conducted for 4 weeks were as follows: T0 (control diet), T1 (control diet + 3% OHP), T2 (control diet + 6% OHP), T3 (control diet + 3% GHP), T4 (control diet + 6% GHP) and T5 (control diet + 1.5% OHP + 1.5% GHP) and T6 (control diet + 3% OHP + 3% GHP). The results showed that dietary OHP and GHP significantly increased protein and decreased cholesterol contents of duck meat, but no effect on meat fat. It could be concluded that the effect of feeding of OHP and GHP separately or in combination was able to increase protein and decrease cholesterol contents, but could not decrease fat content of Mojosari duck meat.

The aim of study was to evaluate the effect of dietary vitamin E supplementation in Kedu and Cemani hens reraed in situ and given farmer-formulated diet on egg performances. A total of 120 female and 24 male birds were equally divided into two groups of Kedu and Cemani, with average body weight of 1890+216.79 and 1830+396.23 g, respectively. Basal ration was based on the diet formulated by the farmer (R1) consisting of corn (30%), rice bran (50%), protein concentrate (15%), and premix (5%). Dietary treatments evaluated were R1 (without additional vitamin E), and the other three were the inclusion of DL α-tocopheryl acetate into the R1 diet up to 2 (R2), 4 (R3) and 6 IU (R4). The experiment was arranged in a Randomized Block Design with 4 treatments, and 2 different groups of hen (Kedu and Cemani) were assigned as block. Parameters observed were feed consumption, hen day production, feed conversion ratio, egg quality, fertility, and hatchability. The result showed that vitamin E supplementation did not affect whatever parameters, except egg fertility. Egg hatchability between Kedu and Cemani hens was significantly different (p
