This research was conduted to determine the effect of giving Dayak Onion flour in feed on organs morphometric and fat level of broiler chicken. This research used Completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. Each unit of experiment consisted of three broiler chickens. The treatments were P0 = feed without Dayak Onion flour, P1 = feed + 5 % Dayak Onion flour, P2 = feed + 10 % Dayak Onion flour and P3 = feed + 15 % Dayak Onion flours. This research was conducted in the experimental cage of livestock study program in May to June 2019. The autcomes showed that the requrement of Dayak Onion flour with a higher level to the lower final weight of broiler chickens, but the administration of Dayak Onion flour at the 5% level in the ration could increase the weight of broiler chicken carcasses. Dayak Onion flour with a higher level causes a higher percentage of the weight of proventriculus, gizzard and liver, but the small intestine gets shorter as the level of Dayak Onion is given in the ration. Giving Dayak Onion flour with a higher level of giving in the ration can reduce the fat contents of broiler chicken meat.
The study evaluated the effect of feeding red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel meal on internal organs, ileal coliform counts, and growth performances in broiler chicken. A total of 96 birds of unsexed one-day-old broiler (Ross strain) were randomly divided into four dietary treatments and six replications with four birds each. The dietary treatments were basal diet as a control diet (DPM0), basal diet added with 0.5% red dragon fruit peel meal (DPM1), and 1% red dragon fruit peel meal (DPM2), and 1.5% red dragon fruit peel meal (DPM3). The cecum and carcass percentage in the broiler was significantly enhanced (p<0.05). At the same time, the coliform total in the ileum and abdominal fat were significantly decreased (p<0.05) with the increasing level of feeding dragon fruit peel meal. The difference in other internal organs' feed intake and body weight gain during the treatments were insignificant (p>0.05) after five weeks of feeding. In conclusion, the red dragon fruit peel meal effectively improves growth performance and gut health by increasing carcass percentage and decreasing abdominal fat production and ileal coliform count in broiler chickens.
Objective:
The feeding effects of DoLa (a combination of Dayak onion extract and probiotic
Lactobacillus acidophilus
) on hematological indices and lymphoid organs as indicators of broiler health status were evaluated in the present study.
Materials and Methods:
192 1-day-old unsexed broilers of the CP 707 strain with a body weight of 46.43 ± 1.65 gm were randomly divided into 4 dietary treatments with 6 replications. The dietary treatments applied were basal diet (BD) as a control with a code of DoLa0, BD + 0.1% DoLa (DoLa1), BD + 0.2% DoLa (DoLa2), and BD + 0.3% DoLa (DoLa3). The parameters monitored included hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), heterophile (H), lymphocyte (L), white blood cell (WBC), heterophile-lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, the lymphoid organs (bursa Fabricius, spleen, and thymus) relative weight, as well as carcass weight.
Results:
The results indicated a significant improvement in WBC, L, and carcass weight (
p
< 0.05) as the feeding level of DoLa increased while the H and H/L ratio decreased. However, the dietary inclusion of DoLa did not affect the lymphoid organs’ relative weight, RBC, and Hb concentrations.
Conclusion:
The mixture at 0.3% significantly improved health status through the indicators of hematological indices, lymphoid organs, and carcass weight of broilers.
Diversifikasi cakar ayam sebagai produk pangan yang bermutu dan bergizi dapat meningkatkan nilai tambah hasil samping pemotongan ayam. Pengolahan kerupuk cakar ayam juga dilakukan dalam kerangka perbaikan gizi masyarakat serta alternatif sumber pendapatan dengan berbasis pada bahan baku dan proses produksi yang murah dan mudah. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah membentuk kelompok usaha kecil pembuatan kerupuk cakar ayam berbasis ibu rumah tangga serta pemberdayaan tenaga kerja wanita (ibu-ibu rumah tangga) sehingga meningkatkan pendapatan anggota kelompok industri kecil dan menjadikan lembaga perguruan tinggi sebagai sumber informasi dan perkembangan IPTEK. Metode kegiatan berupa penyuluhan dan pelatihan pembuatan kerupuk cakar ayam serta pendampingan kelompok usaha kecil pembuatan kerupuk cakar ayam berbasis rumah tangga hingga pemasarannya. Terbentuknya kelompok yang terdiri dari ibu-ibu mitra di Kelurahan Sabaru merupakan wadah pengembangan sumber daya perempuan di lokasi mitra, dimana kegiatan ini menjadi motivasi untuk memajukan potensi diri dan mengembangkan kelompoknya serta berhasil memberikan sumber pendapatan baru bagi mitra
