Aim:This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Meniran extract (Phyllanthus niruri L.) administration on leukocyte profile of broiler chickens infected with Mycoplasma gallisepticum.Materials and Methods:Thirty broiler chickens, 21 days old were divided into five treatment groups. P0 (−): Chickens without any treatment; P0 (+), P1, P2, and P3: Chickens were infected with M. gallisepticum 108 cells/ml/animal orally, then given no treatment, Meniran extract 60%, 62.5%, and 65% orally at a dose of 1 ml/kg body weight, respectively. The treatment of Meniran extract was given for 7 days.Results:Leukocyte count with the lowest number showed in Group P0 (−) and Group P3 (p>0.05). Increased number of basophils was found in Group P0 (+), Group P1, and Group P2. The highest number of heterophils was found in Group P0 (+) and was significantly different from Group P0 to P3 (p<0.05). The same pattern was also seen in the number of lymphocytes in all treatment groups. The number of monocytes showed no significant difference between all treatment groups (p>0.05).Discussion:Increased the number of leukocytes is often observed in inflammation due to general infections, trauma, or toxicity. Shifting in the number of heterophile or lymphocytes, an increase in the number of monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils may also be associated with various infectious or inflammatory conditions. Heterophils play a role as an antibacterial defense through several effective mechanisms. When infections and inflammation occur, the heterophils will increase to phagocytosis microbe.Conclusion:It can be concluded that Meniran extract (P. niruri L.) at a dose of 65% can decrease the total number of leukocytes in broilers infected with M. gallisepticum.
Methods:The subject used in this study was 30 broiler chickens of Lohmann strains, the dose of Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection was108 CFU/mland also prepared meniranextract. This study used experimental method using completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 5 replicates.This study used meniran therapy dosage in each broilers with P1 = 60%/1ml//kgBB (body weight), P2 = 62,5%/ml/kgBB (body weight) and P3 = 65%/ml/kgBB (body weight) and PO(-) treatment without infected and without therapy, PO(+) treatment with infected and without therapy. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance and tested further by Duncan test.
This study aimed to determine the effect of the addition of cherry tomato, california papaya, and honey melon juice into skim milk extender in maintaining the quality of Sapudi ram semen at chilled temperature (5oC) storage. Five replication of ejaculates were divided equally into four groups. In control group (T0) semen was diluted in skim milk extender, while in T1, T2, and T3 groups semen were diluted in skim milk extender contained 20% of cherry tomato, california papaya, and honey melon juice, respectively. The extended semen was stored at a chilled temperature, and semen quality (based on sperm motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity) was observed daily for five days. The result showed that semen quality declined day by day during the five days of storage. Based on the minimum standard of post-thawed semen motility (40%), the spermatozoa of the control group only lasted by the second day. Meanwhile, in the groups with the addition of fruit juice motility could last up to the third day, with the highest motility (p <0.05) on the addition of california papaya juice. This study concluded that the addition of 20% (v/v) california papaya juice in skim milk extender could maintain the percentage of spermatozoa motility up to three days at a chilled temperature.
Abstract. The use of antibiotics against Escherichia coli on broiler chicken should be re-evaluated because antibioticresistant Escherichia coli has been found. Meniran ( Phyllanthus niruri Linn ) is a plant that can be used as an alternative to the prevention and treatment of the diseases caused by Escherichia coli enterotoxin. In this study, 28-day old broiler chickens were divided into six groups. Group 1 was a positive control group infected by Escherichia coli while group 2 was a negative control group without infection. The next group (group 3) were infected with Escherichia coli and given an extract of meniran of several different doses including 20%, 25%, and 30%, respectively. The last group used only an antibiotic as a treatment. Blood collection was conducted five days after treatment. The data obtained was analysed using ANOVA and was continued by a Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the immunomodulation activity in the group with 30% doses of meniran extract. The 30% doses of meniran extract were able to decrease the number of lymphocytes in the blood. In conclusion, a 30% concentration of meniran extract (Phyllanthus niruri L.) can decrease the number of lymphocytes in the blood of broiler chicken infected with the enterotoxin of antibioticsresistant Escherichia coli.
