Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of adding a feed additive, a mixture of sambiloto leaf and moringa extract, on the physiological responses of starter phase broilers. As the subject of the research, a total of 300 broilers were used, with a coefficient of variation of 9.38%. This study employed an experiment with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) that included six treatments and five replications. There are ten broilers in each repetition. T0: Without any additional treatment, the treatment used (negative control). T1: addition of 0.80% sulfamix (positive control). T2: 0.80% mixture of sambiloto and moringa extracts in liquid form, T3: 0.80% mixture of sambiloto and moringa extracts in nano liquid form, T4: 0.80% mixture of sambiloto and moringa extracts in mash form, and T5: mixture of sambiloto and moringa extracts in encapsulated form. The treatment is given from the first day to the fourteenth day. The observed physiological response variables are shank temperature, comb temperature, rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiratory frequency. Analysis of variance is used to examine data, and effects are considered significant if P < 0.05. The addition of a feed additive consisting of a mixture of bitter leaf and moringa was found to have no significant effect (P > 0.05) on heart rate, comb temperature, rectal temperature, shank temperature, and respiratory rate. In this study, the respiratory rate of broilers ranged from 205 to 307 times per minute. The rectal temperature of broilers ranges from 38.40 C to 39.80 C. The comb temperature is between 36.20 C and 38.10 C. The shank temperature ranges from 36.84 C to 38.00 C. The respiratory rate ranges from 60 to 100 breaths per minute. The conclusion of this study is that the addition of feed additives in the feed has an effect on stabilizing heart rate, respiratory frequency, shank temperature, rectal temperature, and comb temperature in broilers.
