Pengaruh Penambahan Tepung Rimpang Temu Kunci (Boesenbergia Pandurata Roxb) Dalam Ransum Terhadap Ketahanan Tubuh Ayam Broiler (the Effect of Powder Addition Fingerroot Rhizome (Boesenbergia Pandurata Roxb) in the Diet on Broiler Body Resistance)

Abstract

The aimed of the research was determined the effect of powder addition fingerroot rhizome in the diet on broiler body resistance with observed leukocyte total, heterophile lymphocyte ratio and bursa fabricius weight. The material used were 120 broiler (unsex) age of 1 week with body weight 321.78 ± 7.8 g. The research diet based on 3,133.83-3,229.79 kcal/kg metabolic energy and 21.00-21.33% crude protein with ingredients yellow corn, fine bran, soybean meal, fish meal, pollard, poultry meat meal (PMM), bran, premix, vegetable oil and powder of fingerroot rhizome. The research used completely randomize design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replicates, consisted of 6 broilers per experimental. The treatment given was T0 (basal diet), T1 (basal diet + 0.8% fingerroot powder), T2 (basal diet + 1.2% fingerroot powder), T3 (basal diet + 1.6% fingerroot powder) and T4 (basal diet + 2.0% fingerroot powder). Parameters measured were leukocyte total, heterophile lymphocyte ratio and bursa fabricius weight. The data were analyzed according to analysis of variance. The result shown that the treatment had no significant effect (P>0.05) to total of leukocyte, heterophile lymphocyte ratio and bursa fabricius weight. Based on the results of the research concluded that the addition of fingerroot rhizome powder until 2% in broiler diet during 5 week of treatment didn\u27t changed body resistance of broiler
