The purpose of this study to determine effect of bio-emulsifier from Pseudomonas putida as feed supplement on the performance of broiler chickens. The experiment was divided in two phases. In phase 1: test of oil bubbles formation in water using bio-emulsifier, and phase 2 : in vivo test bio-emulsifier in animal. 200 one-day-old male and female broiler strain Cobb were used. On d 14, chicks were separated by sex and placed in 40 pens, sex separate (100 males or 100 females) and randomly assigned 4 treatments and 5 replicates of 5 birds each for 14 d (21d-35 d). The diets were based of corn, concentrate and rice bran meal and supplemented with: 0, 0.5,1 and 1.5 g/kg bio-emulsifier. The observed parameters were feed intake (FI), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Result of experiment 1: as expected, supplementation of bio-emulsifier was increased small oil bubbles formation in medium oil in water, whereas in experiment 2 showed FI, ADG and FCR unaffected by dietary supplementation with bio-emulsifier on broiler at finisher phase (week 4 and 5) (P>0.05) and did not decrease on broiler performance. The results give new information that bio-emulsifier from Pseudomonas putida could potentially as a new alternative feed additive in the future on broiler performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
