Pengaruh perbedaan lama waktu pemberian Spirulina platensis dalam ransum terhadap profil darah merah ayam Broiler
Abstract: The study was
conducted to evaluate the effect of duration feeding of Spirulina platensis as
a prebiotic in ration on the red blood cells of broiler chickens. The material
used in this study was 240 day old chick (DOC) with average of initial weight
42.015 ± 0.219 g. The experiment was designed based on Completely Randomized
Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treated treatments were
T0 (Feed Basal + 0.04% Zinc Bacitracin), T1 (Basal diet + 1% Spirulina
platensis for 7 days administration), T2 (Basal diet + 1% Spirulina platensis
for 21 days of administration) and T3 (Feed Basal + 1% Spirulina platensis for
35 days of administration). Measured variables include total erythrocytes,
hemoglobin, percentage of hematocrit, and erythrocyte index values (MCV, MCH,
MCHC). Data were analyzed by variance test (F test) and if there was a
significant difference then continued with Duncan’s multiple range test. The
results showed that there was significant differences (P <0.05) between
treatments on total erythrocytes, and no significant differences (P> 0.05)
between treatments on hemoglobin levels, hematocrit percentage, and erythrocyte
index values (MCV, MCH, MCHC). It concluded that the feeding of Spirulina
platensis for 35 days in ration can reduce total broiler erythrocytes and
feeding S. platensis as a prebiotic given for 7 or 21 days of administration
gives the same result as giving AGPs (Antibiotics Growth Promoters) seen from
the broiler's red blood profile.
