Effect of Adding Cassava Peel and Lactic Acid Bacteria as a Feed Additive to the Weight of Immune Organs of Super Native Chicken

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the use of cassava peels added with lactic acid bacteria on the immune organ weight of super native chickens. The material used in this study was 144 Day Old Chick (DOC) super unsex native chicken with an average body weight of 34 ± 3,14 gram. The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with a dose of liquid feed additive in the form of a combination of cassava peel flour and lactic acid bacteria mixed with rations. The treatments in this study included T0: basal ration, T1 (basal ration + 10% feed additive ml/kg), T2 (basal ration + 15% feed additive ml/kg) and T3 (basal ration + 20% feed additive ml/kg). The parameters observed were body weight, the relative weight of lymph, thymus, and bursa Fabricius superficial chicken stock exchange. The result showed that the combination of cassava peel and lactic acid bacteria had no significant effect (P>0.05) on body weight, the relative weight of the lymph organs, thymus, and bursa Fabricius of super native chickens. This research concludes that the combination of cassava peel and lactic acid bacteria as a feed additive can maintain chickens' health by not increasing the relative weight of the super native chicken immune organs to the level of 200 ml/kg.

Effect of Addition Sinbiotic Isolate Pediococcus pentosaceus Strain N6 and Cassava Peel on Immunity Organs and Total Microbes in the Small Intestine of Super Native Chicken

“…This finding demonstrates that the inclusion of synbiotics in the diet has the potential to enhance the weight of the spleen organ in indigenous chicken breeds. This finding aligns with the assertion made by reference [7], which suggests that the administration of probiotics The augmentation of synbiotic dosage in the diet leads to an elevation in the abundance of isolates harboring lactic acid and bacteriocins. This, in turn, triggers an immunological response that results in heightened thymic activity, specifically in the regulation of lymphocyte differentiation.…”

Short Review of Oligosaccharides Application from Local Indonesian Tubers as Prebiotic

“…Ayam kampung yang diberi simbiotik dari ubi kayu dan bakteri asam laktat tidak menujukkan perubahan pada bobot badan dan persentase limpa, kelenjar timus dan bursa fabricus (Ardiansyah et al 2021). Pemberian probiotik, prebiotik ataupun simbiotik pada ayam kampung tidak mempengaruhi persentase limpa karena limpa merupakan organ yang berperan dalam sistem kekebalan sekunder, sehingga dapat terjadi keterlambatan respon pada limpa akibat pemberian probiotik, prebiotik ataupun simbiotik (Rais et al 2015).…”
