The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the blood profile especially hemoglobin and hematocrit of male broiler chickens that given Nigella sativa (black cumin seed). This research was conducted on 18 December 2019-16 January 2020 at the Integrated Field Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Lampung University and Pramitra Biolab Indonesia Clinical Laboratory, Bandarlampung. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments given in this study were broiler chickens drinking water without Nigella sativa (P0), drinking water with 36 mg/kg BW/day of Nigella sativa (P1), drinking water with 72 mg/kg BW/day of Nigella sativa (P2), drinking water with 144 mg /kg BW/day of Nigella sativa (P3). Data were analyzed descriptively (histogram). The results showed that application of Nigella sativa at a dose of 144mg /kg BW/day (P3) was the optimal dose to increase hemoglobin levels and hematocrit values of male broiler chicken. Keywords: Black cumin, hemoglobin, hematocrit, immunomodulator, male broiler, Nigella sativa

Conventional supplements have been criticised for their potential negative impact on the  food chain. Poultry researchers and nutritionists have been searching for viable alternative  feed additives. Poultry production is still facing challenges of diseases and a lot of research  are still on going. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of garlic (Allium  sativum) supplementation on the blood profile of broiler chicken. One hundred and fifty-day  old Marshal strains of broiler chicken were assigned to five dietary treatments with thirty  birds in a Completely Randomized Design. The thirty chicks were subdivided into three  replicates of 10 birds each. Feed and water were offered ad libitum and mortality was  recorded as it occurred. Blood were collected from two birds per replicate to determine  haematological and serum biochemical responses. No significant (p>0.05) difference was  observed in the haematological response and serum biochemistry profile of broilers fed  experimental diets, with the exception of the Cholesterol level which significantly (p<0.05)  decreased as the level of inclusion of the garlic increased, with the control diet having the  highest value (135.38mg/dL) while the least value (129.80mg/dL) was obtained from diets  containing 0.8% inclusion of garlic. Therefore, the inclusion of garlic (Allium sativum) in the  diets of broiler chicken had no deleterious effects on the blood profile of the experimental  birds but improved the cholesterol level of the birds at the inclusion level of 0.4g/ton of feed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of five plant extracts at different concentration for managing the late blight disease of tomato in experimental field of University of Rajshahi. The antimicrobial activity of five plant extracts such as Water gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus chamadulonsis), Garlic (Allium sativum), Babla (Acacia nilotica) and Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) was tested for controlling the late blight disease causing pathogens Phytophthora infestans. The number of branching of tomato plant was highest in T15 treatment (Black Cumin 5%) and lowest in T5 (Garlic clove 10%) and T13 (Babla leaves 2.5%). The maximum number of late blight affected leaves were found inT1 (control) and T6 (Garlic clove (5%) treatments, and minimum in T14 (Black Cumin 10%). A highest number of fresh tomato was recorded in T14 (Black Cumin 10%) and T16 (Black Cumin 2.5%) whereas the lowest performance was observed in T7 (Garlic clove 2.5%). The highest number of late blight affected rotten tomato was observed inT12 (Babla leaves 5%) and the lowest in T5 (Garlic clove 10%). The yield of tomato (g) was found maximum in T15 treatment (Black Cumin 5%) and lowest in T6 (Garlic clove 5%) treatment. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 12(1&2): 67-71, 2019
