OPTIMASI IMUNITAS AYAM BROILER MELALUI PEMBERIAN FITOBIOTIK KOMBINASI TEMULAWAK DAN BRATAWALI

The study's goal is to determine the effect of a phytobiotic combination of temulawak and bratawali on the immunity of broiler chickens. The research material was a combination of temulawak extract and bratawali infused in chicken drinking water, and it was employed on 96 Lohmann strain broiler chicks. The study was carried out utilizing experimental approaches based on completely random designs. T0: control (no adding phytobiotic combination of temulawak and bratawali), T1: 0.25%, T2: 0.5%, T3: 1%, T4: 2%, and T5: 4%. Each treatment is given four times, for a total of 24 trial units. Each experimental unit consisted of four broiler chickens that were measured for leukocyte count, eosinophil count, basophil count, lymphocyte count, monophyte count, and the ratious H/L ratio. The findings of the variance analysis revealed that administering a phytobiotic combination of temulawak and bratawali had a significant influence on the percentages of heterofiles, lymphocytes, monocytes, and the ratious H/L ratio but had no effect on the percentages of eosinophils and basophils. It was concluded that the combination of 1% and 2% phytobiotics was found to boost immunity and endurance to environmental stress.Penelitiaan bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian fitobiotik kombinasi temulawak dan bratawali terhadap imunitas ayam broiler. Materi penelitian menggunakan 96 ekor ayam broiler strain Lohmann, bahan penelitian adalah kombinasi ekstrak temulawak dan bratawali yang diberikaan ke dalam air minum ayam. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode eksperimental berdasarkan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL). Perlakuan yang diujicobakan adalah T0: kontrol, (tidak ada penambahan kombinasi fitobiotik), T1: 0,25% T2: 0,5%, T3: 1%, T4 = 2%, dan T5 = 4%. Setiap perlakuan diulang 4 kali, sehingga terdapat 24 unit percobaan. Masing-masing unit percobaan terdiri dari 4 ekor ayam broiler. Parameter yang diukur meliputi jumlah leukosit, persentase heterofil, eosinofil, basofil, limfosit, dan monosit serta ratio H/L. Hasil analisis variansi menunjukkan bahwa pemberian kombinasi fitobiotik temulawak dan bratawali berpengaruh nyata terhadap persentase heterofil, limfosit, monosit dan ratio H/L, namun berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap pesentase eosinofil dan basofil. Kesimpulan bahwa pemberian kombinasi fitobiotik 1% dan 2% meningkatkan imunitas dan ketahanan terhadap stres lingkungan
