The effect of liquid tumeric extract supplementation on carcass production and chemical quality of broiler meat
Abstract: The purpose of this
research was to find out the effects of liquid turmeric extract (LTE)
supplementation as a phytobiotic on carcass production and chemical quality of
broiler chicken meat. The research is conducted with a directional pattern
completely randomized design. Eighty-four broiler chickens were raised from day
old (DOC) to 42 days old chick. From DOC to 14 days old chicks were fed with
commercial feed (ME 3,100 kcal/kg; CP 22%; Ca 1%; P 0.75%). During 15-21 days
of age given a commercial feed mixture and basal feed (ME 3,201.77 kcal/kg; CP
20.21%; Ca 0.90%; and P 0.43%). At 22-42 days old given treatments. Seven
treatments were replicated 3 times consisted of 4 broiler chickens for each
replication. The treatments were positive control (P1), negative control (P2),
water + LTE 2% (P3), water + LTE 4% (P4), water + LTE 6% (P5), water + LTE 8%
(P6), and water + LTE 10% (P7). The results showed that LTE 10% significantly
decreased (P<0.05) on the slaughter weight and 8% until 10% dossage had a significant
decrease (P<0.05) on the meat water content. However, it did not show a
significant influence (P>0.05) on the carcass weight, carcass percentage,
meat protein and fat content.
