Pengaruh kualitas ransum berbeda terhadap bobot relatif kuning telur dan profil leukosit Ayam Kedu pasca tetas
Abstract: The research aimed
to evaluate the effect of different quality of diet on yolk relative weight and
leukocytes profile of post-hatch Kedu chicks. The research used 105 birds of
day-old Kedu chicks, which were devided into T0 = fasted for three days
post-hatch continued feed farmer ration; T1 = farmer’s ration; T2 = improved
rations. Improved ration contains higher protein and energy than the farmer’s
ration. Completely randomized design (CRD) with split in time was assigned to
the present study. The main plot was age of chicks and the subplot was dietary
treatment. Parameters measured were yolk relative weight, leukocyte and
differential leukocyte profiles. The results showed that there was no
significant effect on either interaction (P>0.05) between age and dietary
nutriens quality or the main plot on yolk relative weight, leukocytes and
differential leukocyte profiles in Kedu chicks 6 days post-hatch. However, yolk
relative weight was affected significantly by the sublot, and other parameters
were the same. Conclusion of the research was that the yolk relative weight,
leukocyte and differential leukocyte profiles remained stable in 6 days
post-hatch Kedu chicks despite being given ration with the different nutrients
quality, including fasted-group’s chicks three days after hatch.
