Heat stress on broiler chickens has an impact on the value of feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass weight, and abdominal fat content. These impacts can be reduced by administering plant extracts, such as salix plant extract. However, the effect of this plant extract on normal condition is still unknown. This study aimed to determine the effect of salix extract to the value of feed conversion ratio, carcass weight, and abdominal fat content in chickens with heat stress and compared with chickens in normal conditions. This study used 30 samples of 21-day old broiler chickens. This research was conducted using a complete factorial randomized design with 2 x 3 treatment factors and 5 repetitions. The first factor consisted of two treatment conditions, namely heat stress (HS) and no heat stress (nHS), while the second factor consisted of three doses of salix extract treatment, dose 0 (ES-0), 50 (ES-50), and 100 (ES-100) mg/L of drinking water. Heat stress was conducted by increasing the temperature of the cage to 34 ± 1 °C for 4 hours per day. Salix extract was added in drinking water and given 2 hours before the temperature reached 34 ± 1 °C. Chickens without heat stress were kept in the cage at 25 ± 1 °C using air-condition (AC). Data were analyzed using two way ANOVA using SPSS 20. The results showed that administration of salix extract on heat stress chickens did not affect the FCR value and carcass weight, but had a significant effect (P ≤ 0.05) on abdominal fat weight. Fat content in the abdominal was higher (P≤ 0.05) in chickens with heat stress and given salix extract than non heat stress.

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of silicon oxide in broiler chickens drinking water on performance and litter quality. A total of 120, one-day old mixed sex broiler chicks were randomly divided into 4 treatments and 3 replications, with 10 birds in each replicate in a completely randomised experimental design, with 4 silicon levels (0.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50 mg of silicon oxide/litre of water. Corn-soya based diets were formulated at the starter (0–4 weeks) and finisher (5–8weeks) phases and were supplied ad libitum with free access to water. The average daily temperature and relative humidity inside the poultry house were 35.9 °C and 36%, respectively. At the starter phase, chicks administered 2.00mg silicon oxide/litre of water had significantly (p<0.05) higher final body weight (991.00g) and average weight gain (950.96g) compared to chicks without silicon oxide 778.57 g and 738.54g. The inclusion of 2.00 mg silicon oxide/litre of water improved feed conversion ratio compared to the control group (p < 0.05) and significantly reduced feed cost per kg gain. For the finisher phase, chickens administered 2.00mg silicon oxide/litre of water had the best results for final weight, weight gain and feed cost per kg gain. Also, inclusion of silicon oxide in broiler chickens water improved litter quality as predominantly dry material but with some areas of wet shavings was observed. In conclusion, silicon oxide in broiler chickens drinking water at 2.00mg/litre of water enhanced growth performance, improved feed conversion ratio and litter quality as well as reduced feed cost per kg gain at the starter and finisher phases respectively.

Abstract This study aimed to determine the effect of red fruit juice (RFJ) in drinking water on feed consumption, body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio and drinking water consumption of starter broiler chickens. A total of 100 broiler chickens (straight run) of 4 days old (Lohmann) were fed using commercial diets and given RFJ drinking water treatments as followed: P0 = drinking water 1000ml+0ml RFJ, P1=drinking water 900ml+100ml RFJ, P2=drinking water 800ml+200ml RFJ, and P3=drinking water 700ml+300ml RFJ.  During the experiment, the RFJ drinking water treatments were given in a sequential pattern of 3 days ON and 4 days OFF. The results showed that the RFJ drinking water treatments had no effect on feed consumption (P³0.05), but had an effect on BWG (P<0.05), feed conversion ratio (P<0.05), and drinking water consumption (P<0.05). The result of RFJ drinking water treatments on BWG, feed conversion ratio and drinking water consumption had the same pattern, namely the best results were obtained at 200 ml RFJ drinking water treatment and the worst at 300 ml RFJ drinking water treatment. In conclusion, the red fruit juice at a dose of 200 ml in 800 l of drinking water improved the performance of starter broiler chickens, whereas the red fruit juice at a dose of 300 ml in 700 ml of drinking water had no effect on feed consumption but had caused a decrease in the starter broiler chicken’s performance.  Keywords: Body weight gain; Feed conversion ratio; Red fruit juice; Starter broiler chickens   Abstrak  Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian jus buah merah (JBM) dalam air minum terhadap konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan (PBB), konversi ransum dan konsumsi air minum ayam broiler fase starter. Penelitian menggunakan 100 ekor ayam broiler (unsexing) strain Lohmann umur 4 hari  (BB awal 72,83 gram/ekor ± 1,03 dan CV 0,01) yang diberi pakan ransum komersial ad libitum dan air minum perlakuan JBM sebagai berikut: P0 = air minum 1000ml+0ml JBM, P1= air minum 900ml+100ml JBM, P2= air minum 800ml+200ml JBM, dan P3= air minum 700ml+300ml JBM. Selama penelitian, air minum perlakuan JBM diberikan mengikuti pola berurutan yaitu 3 hari ON dan 4 hari OFF. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa air minum perlakuan JBM tidak berpengaruh nyata pada konsumsi ransum (P³0,05), tetapi berpengaruh nyata pada PBB (P<0,05)  konversi ransum (P<0,05), dan konsumsi air minum (P<0,05).  Pengaruh perlakuan air minum JBM terhadap PBB, konversi ransum dan konsumsi air minum memperlihatkan hasil dengan pola yang sama yaitu terbaik pada perlakuan air minum JBM 200 ml dan terjelek pada perlakuan air minum JBM 300 ml. Kesimpulan, pemberian jus buah merah pada dosis 200 ml dalam 800 l air minum meningkatkan performa ayam broiler fase starter lebih baik dari perlakuan kontrol, sedangkan pemberian 300 ml jus buah merah dalam 700 ml air tidak berpengaruh pada konsumsi ransum tetapi sudah menyebabkan penurunan performa ayam broiler fase starter lebih rendah dari perlakuan kontrol.   Kata kunci: Ayam broiler fase starter; Jus buah merah; Konversi ransum; Pertambahan bobot badan

The response of male broiler chickens to graded amounts of an essential amino acid (methionine) or an amino acid analogue (methionine hydroxy analogue free acid, MHA-FA) was examined in this experiment. The effects of each supplement on food intake, food conversion and the masses of a demand tissue (breast meat) and an indicator of body fat (abdominal fat pad) were measured. Birds grew significantly faster, ate more and had a lower food conversion ratio when there was more DL-methionine or MHA-FA in the diet. After standardising the differences in food intake between treatments, there were still highly significant differences in liveweight between diets. After removing the variation due to treatment differences in body mass, the data showed that adding either DL-methionine or MHA-FA to the diet increased the mass of breast meat and reduced the size of the abdominal fat pad. Exponential equations fitted to the body mass and feed conversion ratio data indicate that, in an equimolar comparison, MHA-FA is 78 and 70% as potent as DL-methionine for growth and feed conversion ratio respectively. Similar equations fitted to the carcass data show that MHA-FA is only 71% as potent as DL-methionine in depositing breast tissue. Increasing amounts of DL-methionine reduced the variability in liveweight and carcass, breast and abdominal fat pad weights. Adding 0.05% MHA-FA reduced variability in these traits compared with the basal ration but higher amounts of MHA-FA had no additional effect.

Lead (Pb) has extensive commercial and industrial use despite of its recognized as health hazard. The therapeutic application of garlic (Allium sativum) was investigated for preventing the toxic effect of lead (Pd) in lead exposed chickens. 350 commercial broiler chickens were grouped into five such as T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4consisting of 70 birds each where T0 served as control. T1 was provided with lead acetate at 100mg/kg body weight, T2 had 100mg/kg lead acetate + 1% garlic supplement, T3 was fed with 100mg/kg lead acetate + 2% garlic supplement and T4 had 100mg/kg lead acetate + 4% garlic supplement for 42 days. Garlic was found to be capable of elimination of lead (Pb). Analysis of variance statistically revealed that significant (P<0.01) lower level of live weight (g), carcass weight (g) and eviscerated fresh carcass weight (%) were 2015.26±49.73, 1124.45±11.67 and 60.63±3.18, respectively in the chickens in group T1 at 42nd day of treatment in comparison to other groups. All garlic treatment groups satisfactorily increased live weight and carcass weight. Following the application of dietary garlic, mean values of live weight (g), carcass weight (g) and eviscerated fresh carcass weight (%) were significantly (P<0.01) increased at 2156.63±74.52, 1455.85±9.21 and 63.96±2.18 in group T3. Feed conversion ratio showed non-significant differences between different groups, but the most significant (P<0.01) FCR values were recorded in T3 among the treatment groups. It can be recommended from the present study that garlic might be played an active role to antagonize lead (Pb) toxicity.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjvm.v12i1.20453 Bangl. J. Vet. Med.

The purpose of this study was to compare commercial vitamin supplements to natural vitamins derived from pegagan leaves and carrot waste on drinking water. This experiment was designed as a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 3 replicates; Control was drinking water without supplements (P1), drinking water with supplementation of commercial vitamin (P2), drinking water with carrot waste and pegagan leaves juice 5% (P3) , 10% (P4) and 15% (P4) tested to 150 male quails that were reared up to 3 months. The variables observed were performance of male quail that includes feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, initial weight, final body weight, carcass weight, and level of MDA (Malonaldehyde)  quail meat. The results of this study showed the treatments of addition supplement have no significant effect  on quail performance (feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, initial weight, final body weight, carcass weight), but the treatment of 5% pegagan leaves juice and carrot waste significantly increased level of MDA quail meat 55.652 % compared to control. It is concluded that supplementation of pegagan leaves and carrot waste in drinking   can increase MDA  of quail meat.

Research was conducted to study the effect of probiotic additives in drinking water on the productivity of broiler chickens. The study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replications so that there were 12 experimental units. This research use 180 DOC broiler strain CP 707. Chickens were raised from the age of 1 day to 35 days or 5 weeks of age where Treatment A was the chicken that did not get BioWish, treatment B was the chicken whose drinking water was given BioWish dose of 1 g/10 l drinking water, treatment C of chickens whose drinking water was given BioWish of 2 g/10 l of drinking water, treatment D of chickens whose drinking water was given BioWish of 3 g/10 of drinking water. The variables observed were body weight, ration consumption, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) and carcass weight. The results showed that the provision of probiotic additives in drinking water had a significant effect (P <0.05) on body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), while it had no significant effect on feed consumption (P> 0.05) and nutrient consumption . From the results of this study it can be concluded that the addition of probiotics with a dose of 0 - 3 g / 10 liters of drinking water has no effect on feed consumption. significant to weight gain, and can increase the efficiency of using rations.

We evaluated the influence of enzymatic supplementation on the growth performance and cecal microbiota of broilers. A total of 2160 1-day-old male chicks were used in a 3 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement (three corn hybrids, two drying temperatures −80 and 110 °C, with or without the inclusion of an enzymatic blend (amylase, xylanase, and protease) (20 birds/pen, n = 9). For all performance and digestibility parameters, we observed, in general, isolated effects of the corn hybrids and drying temperature. Birds that received the enzymatic blend in the diet showed better weight gain from 1 to 21 days (d) and better digestibility coefficients of nutrients at 42 d. Birds fed diets with corn dried at 80 °C showed a better feed conversion ratio from 1 to 42 d. At 21 d of age, enzymatic supplementation had positive effects on jejunum morphology. Enzyme supplementation increased the abundance of the phylum Tenericutes, class Bacilli and Mollicutes, reduced Clostridia, and increased the abundances of the families Lactobacillaceae, Anaeroplasmataceae, and O_RF39;F. In conclusion, the addition of amylase, xylanase, and protease led to a better nutrient digestibility, performance, and intestinal morphology. In addition, enzyme supplementation changed the diversity, composition, and predicted function of the cecal microbiota at d 21.

Two experiments were conducted to study the effects of either soluble or insoluble fibre naturally occurring in wheat and oats, on technical pellet quality and nutritional value for broiler chickens. In exp. 1, the effects of insoluble fibre were studied by mixing diets based on wheat or naked oats with either coarse or fine oats hulls followed by pelleting. Hull inclusion increased (P < 0.05) starch gelatinisation, especially in the diets based on oats. Addition of finely ground oats hulls improved pellet durability, in particular after storage, while no such effect was observed for coarse oats hulls. Oats hulls inclusion caused a more elastic pellet with higher breaking resistance (P < 0.05). Lower (P < 0.05) energy consumption was observed for diets based on oats compared with wheat, while no effect of fibre inclusion on energy consumption was found. In exp. 2, the influence of pelleting on the viscosity effect of soluble fibres in diets based on wheat or oats was studied. A significant increase (P < 0.05) in intestinal viscosity of broiler chickens was observed for all batches of grain exposed to steam pelleting. Viscosity was doubled (P < 0.05) with wheat diets, while the increase in viscosity was even greater in oat diets. In wheat diets, feed intake and weight gain was reduced (P < 0.05), while feed conversion ratio was not affected. Steam pelleting of oats reduced (P < 0.05) feed intake and weight gain, and increased feed conversion ratio (P < 0.05). The improvements (P < 0.05) in metabolisable energy and dry matter digestibility in wheat diets was not consistent with the observed increases in viscosity or with the results obtained with oats. Key words: Soluble fibres, insoluble fibres, viscosity, starch gelatinisation, steam-pelleting
