Histology of the liver and small intestine broiler using phytobiotic in the ration infected Salmonella pullorum

Abstract

Phytobiotic contains bioactive substances that function as antibacterial substances so that its use as Natural Growth Promotors substitute antibiotics continue to be suggested. This study aims to observe the histopathological changes of liver and small intestine in broilers infected with Salmonella pullorum with Turmeric Extract (TWE), Garlic Extract (GWE) and the combination of Turmeric and Garlic extract (1TWE: 3GWE) added to the feed. One-hundred-day old chick was kept intensive for 38 days and divided into five treatments and four replications, with five chicks in each replicate. The treatments were R0 (no phytobiotic and antibiotics as a negative control), R1; 0.015% tetracycline and infected Salmonella pullorum as a positive control, R2; 2.50% TWE) (Salmonella pullorum infected), R3; 2.00% GWE (Salmonella pullorum infected), R4; 2.50% GWE (Salmonella pullorum infected). The results showed a very significant effect (P <0.01) reduced the presence of inflammatory nodules, congestion and haemorrhages in liver and small intestine broilers due to Salmonella pullorum. The addition of TGWE phytobiotic to the feed can reduce damage in the liver and small intestine infected Salmonella pullorum compared with the use of tetracycline, TWE, and GWE.
