PENGARUH PEMBERIAN RANSUM KOMBINASI SUPLEMEN HERBAL DENGAN MINERAL ZINK TERHADAP JUMLAH LEUKOSIT, ERITROSIT, DAN KADAR HEMOGLOBIN BROILER YANG DIINFEKSI ESCHERICHIA COLI

Abstract

EFFECT OF COMBINATION BETWEEN HERBAL SUPPLEMENT AND ZINC MINERALS IN RATION ON TOTAL OF LEUCOCYT, ERYTHROCYTE, AND HEMOGLOBIN LEVEL IN BROILERS INFECTED BY ESCHERICHIA COLI. This experiment was conducted to study the combination of herbal material and zink in poultry diet on  the leucocyte, erythrocyte and hemoglobin of broilers infected by the amount of Escherichia coli. Two hundred of unsexed d.o.c broilers were devided into five treatments and four replications in each treatment, with five chicks in each replicate. The treatments were basal diet as a negative control/ healhty chickens (R1), basal diet as a positive control, chick was infected by Escherichia coli (R2), basal diet + 1.5% turmeric powder + ZnO 180 ppm, chick was infected by Escherichia coli (R3) , basal diet + 2.5% garlic powder + ZnO 180 ppm,chick was infected by Escherichia coli (R4), and basal diet + antibiotic, chick was infected by Escherichia coli (R5). Data were collected during 35 days. Diet and water were offered ad libitum. The results of this research indicated that chicken fed basal diet + 1.5% turmeric powder + ZnO 180 ppm, chick was infected by Escherichia coli (R3) and chickens fed basal diet + 2.5% garlic powder +ZnO 180 ppm chick was infected by Escherichia coli (R4) showed the best leucocyte, erythrocyte and hemoglobin amount compared with control. Key words: Herbal supplement, zinc mineral, broiler performance.
