Kidney histology and broiler serum creatinine levels supplemented with a mixture of water extract of turmeric and tamarind fruit

Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.) and tamarind are herbal ingredients that are widely used in traditional medicine. The study was conducted to determine the effect of continuous supplementation of turmeric extract and tamarind fruit on kidney performance. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD), with four treatments and five replications. The treatments consisted of: control, 2% water extract concentration of turmeric rhizome, 2% tamarind fruit water extract, 2% water extract mixture of turmeric rhizome and tamarind. The experimental units were 20 with 10 experimental animals in each experimental unit. There were 200 experimental animals were used. Renal histology was prepared using the paraffin method, and serum creatinine levels were tested by the spectophotometric method. Qualitative data was presented in images, and quantitative data is analyzed using the SPSS for window program The results showed that broiler serum creatinine levels were not significantly different between control and treatment. Kidney histology data showed no significant difference between the histology of the control kidney and the broiler kidney supplemented by water extract of turmeric rhizome and tamarind fruit. Water extract supplementation of turmeric and tamarind fruit 2% did not have a negative effect on kidney performance and serum creatinine level.

Effect of Given Drinking Water with Extract Turmeric (Curcuma Domestica Val.), Extract Tamarind (Tamarindus Indica L.) and Mixture for Carcass and Offal Internal and External of Broilers 2-6 Weeks

“…This result because broiler gave turmeric extract, tamarind extract and a mixture of turmeric extract and tamarind extract treatment gave protection against pathogen microorganism, especially in the intestines, can be inhibited so that the feed consumed can be digested, and absorbed maximally which causes the FCR value of broilers to be lower than that of broilers gives drinking water without turmeric and tamarind extract (A). According to [8] argues that turmeric extract, tamarind extract and a mixture of turmeric extract and tamarind extract have a low number of coliforms and E. coli bacteria. The content of flavonoids in the tamarind has a good antibacterial against the growth of E. coli so that the higher the concentration given, the diameter of the inhibition will increase [15], [16] and [17].…”

“…According to [5] that the use of rations containing antioxidants in livestock can reduce the effects of free radicals on the digestive tract so that it can increase ration consumption. Research by [8] Phytochemical substances contained in turmeric rhizome and tamarind fruit are flavonoids, phenols, tannins, terpenoids and vitamin C [8]. While the tamarind plant (Tamarindus indica L.) has antibacterial, antifungal, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemia, anti-inflammatory, hypolipemic and antioxidant activities [9].…”

“…The results obtained were then averaged. For qualitative data, images of liver histology preparations were photographed with an optilab camera connected to a computer [19]. The quantitative data obtained were analyzed statistically using SPSS Software and if there was a significant effect, it would be continued with Duncan's test at levels α=0.05 and α=0.01 and qualitative data is presented in the form of images.…”
