This study investigated the effects of brown seaweed extract nanoparticles on liver enzymes of broiler chickens.The drinking water of broiler chickens were treated with no additive (negative control), zinc bacitracin (0.25 g/L; positive control), brown seaweed extracts (2.50 or 5.00 g/L), or brown seaweed extracts nanoparticles (25 or 50 mL/L).The safety of water additives was observed through the serum concentration of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase:alanine aminotransferase ratio as the biochemical marker for hepatocellular injury.Results showed that aspartate aminotransferase was significantly elevated (P < 0.05) in the chicks treated with zinc bacitracin, when compared to the negative control.Meanwhile, both brown seaweed extracts and brown seaweed extracts nanoparticles did not alter aspartate aminotransferase compared to negative control.Water additives showed negligible effects on alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase:alanine aminotransferase ratio.It could be concluded that brown seaweed extract nanoparticles could be considered as a safe drinking water additive for broiler chickens.

The ban of antibiotic growth promoters in many countries necessitate the need for alternatives. This study aimed to assess the growth-promoting potency of nano-phytobiotics (NP) on broiler chickens by using a meta-analysis approach. A systematic search was conducted using online databases. Data of average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were pooled using a random-effect model and the overall effect size was quantified using mean difference (MD). Heterogeneity among the studies was checked using I2 statistics. A total of 11 studies (31 comparisons) using 3,584 broiler chickens were involved in this meta-analysis. Inclusion of NP had no significant effect on ADFI (MD=-1.20 g/bird/d; P=0.157; I2=32%). However, NP significantly improved ADG (MD=2.16 g/bird/d; P=0.002; I2=90%) and FCR (MD=-0.09; P<0.001; I2=91%). Subgroup analysis revealed that NP significantly improved (P<0.05) ADG when the studies using dose of 45-200 and 1,000-10,000 ppm, as well as 42 d study period. Meta-regression analysis also indicated that ADG improvement significantly associated (P<0.05) with the NP dose and study duration, which could explain 21% and 20% of heterogeneity, respectively. This meta-analysis provides evidence that NP inclusion could improve ADG and FCR without alter ADFI on broiler chickens. However, their efficacy may vary according to the NP dose and study duration.
The study was conducted to determine the effect of various dietary calcium and phosphorus levels on the blood mineral contents of Bantul Local Duck. Two hundred and seventy female ducks, 26 weeks age, were used in the study with a 3x3 factorial pattern, which is a combination of three levels (hight, middle, and low) of Ca (3.75; 3.25 and 2.75%) and three levels (hight, middle, and low) of P (0.45, 0.35 and 0.25%). Treatment occupied three replication pens, each of which consisted of 10 ducks. At the end of 12 weeks egg production period, one laying duck every pen was observed for serum mineral content. Blood collected for 3 times within a day for each duck, there were: morning (07.00-08.00 a.m.), afternoon (3.00-4.00 p.m.) and evening (10.00-11.00 p.m.) through shank blood arteries. Data recorded were Ca ++ and P04 contents. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the SPSS computer program. The results showed that there were signi cant effects (P<0.05) of dietary Ca and P, and time observation on Ca ++ and P0 4 contents. The middle dietary Ca content (3.25%) resulted the highest both of Ca ++ (6.946±1.201 mmol/l) and P0 4 (8.904±2.331 mg/dl) serum content. The middle dietary P content (0.35%) resulted the highest serum Ca++ content (6.894±0.912 mmol/l), but the lowest dietary P content resulted in the highest serum P0 4 content (8.611±2.294 mg/dl). The serum Ca ++ content signi cally decline from the morning (7.038 ±1.024 mmol/l) until evening (6.010±0,964 mmol/l), and the highest serum PO 4 content was in the afternoon (9.970±2.621 mg/ dl)
Objective: Reduced crude protein (CP) diets offer potential benefits such as optimized feed efficiency, reduced expenses, and lower environmental impact. The objective of this study was to evaluate black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal on a low-protein diet for duck performance, blood biochemical, intestinal morphology, gastrointestinal development, and litter.Methods: The experiment was conducted for 42 days. A total of 210-day-old male hybrid ducklings (5 replicate pens, 7 ducks per pen) were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatments (3×2 factorial arrangements) in randomized design. The factors were CP level (18%, 16%, 14%) and protein source feed soybean meals (SBM), black soldier fly larvae meals (BSFLM).Results: Reduced dietary CP levels significantly decreased growth performance, feed intake, the percentage of nitrogen, pH (p<0.05), and tended to suppress ammonia in litter (p = 0.088); increased lipid concentration; and enhanced relative weight of gastrointestinal tracts (p<0.05). In addition, dietary BSFL as a source of protein feed significantly increased lipid concentration and impacted lowering villus height and crypt depth on jejunum (p<0.05).Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of BSFLM in a low-protein diet was found to have a detrimental effect on growth performance. However, the reduction of 2% CP levels in SBM did not have a significant impact on growth performance but decreased nitrogen and ammonia concentrations.
Background: There has been great interest in the use of seaweed as a functional feed ingredient for poultry in the last decade. This study aimed to assess the effects of dietary seaweed inclusion on growth performance of broiler chickens by using a systematic review and meta-analysis approach.Methods: A systematic search of published research articles related to seaweed, broiler chickens, and growth performance was conducted using three online databases (Scopus, PubMed, and SciELO). Mean values, standard deviation, and sample size were extracted from each eligible study. The estimated effect size was then quantified using Hedges’ g with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Data were pooled using a fixed-effect model due to the absence of heterogeneity after being pre-checked using the I2 statistic.Results: A total of six studies (nine comparisons) involving 2,257 broiler chickens were accommodated in this study. The seaweed type consisted of seaweed blend, Laminaria japonica, Undaria pinnatifida, Hizikia fusiformis, and Ulva lactuca. The inclusion dose ranged from 2 to 30 g/kg, while the intervention duration ranged from 21 to 42 days. No substantial heterogeneity among studies (I2 = 0.00%) was found for feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. Dietary seaweed had no significant effect on feed intake (Hedges’ g = 0.19; 95% CI = -0.22 to 0.60; P = 0.280). However, broiler chickens fed dietary seaweed had superior body weight gain (Hedges’ g = 0.64; 95% CI = 0.22 to 1.06; P = 0.000) and preferable feed conversion ratio (Hedges’ g = -0.53; 95% CI = -0.95 to -0.11; P = 0.004).Conclusions: The current investigation highlights that dietary seaweed had growth-promoting potency for broiler chickens. However, more research on this issue is still required to build more comprehensive evidence.
The microsatellite LEI0258 is a genetic marker for chicken MHC haplotypes and can be used to study the influence of population genetics on immune responses.In this study, we investigated the variability of the LEI0258 locus in 173 chickens from six Indonesian local chicken populations (Black Kedu Pelung, Sentul, Merawang, Nunukan, and Gaga).The LEI0258 locus was found to be polymorphic in overall populations with a total of 25 alleles.The observed and expected heterozygosity values ranged from 0.565 (Gaga) to 0.967 (Pelung) with an overall mean of 0.855 and from 0.715 (Gaga) to 0.879 (Merawang) with an overall mean 0.829, respectively.The decreasing heterozygosity indicated that the population's genetic diversity had decreased.The average PIC values ranged from 0.687 (Gaga) to 0.870 (Merawang), overall studied chicken was 0.811.All the chicken populations were in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, except for the Gaga chicken.
