Addition of bidara leaves (Ziziphus spina – christi L.) in drinking water on production and mortality of broiler chickens

Abstract

The bidara plant is known as a plant that contains active ingredients and phytochemicals that have the benefit of stimulating physiological processes in the body to run well and have a healthy effect. This study aimed to determine the effect of giving bidara leaf extract on the production performance and mortality of broiler chickens. A total of 60 DOC broiler chickens were used in this study with an average body weight of 45 g which was divided into 4 treatments, including T0: control, T1: 10% bidara leaf extract, T2: 15% bidara leaf extract, T3: 20% bidara leaf extract. Each treatment was repeated 5 times with 3 research units per plot. The study was carried out experimentally in vivo using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) research method. The data was processed by analysis of variance with the F test at the 5% level and continued with Duncan’s test. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on production performance and mortality in broiler chickens at the 10% bidara leaf usage level. The use of bidara leaf extract can be used as a supplement in the maintenance of broiler chickens as a substitute for synthetic supplements.

Can tree leaves be used as an alternative source of synthetic antioxidants? Use of jujube leaf extract in laying hens

“…In another study in broilers, Yusup et al ( 22 ) investigated the effects of different levels (10%, 15%, 20%) of bidara ( Zizyphus spina -christi L.) leaf extract in drinking water on production and mortality and reported that bidara leaf extract in drinking water increased body weight gain, final body weight, feed intake, and water consumption. In the same study, it was determined that this extract in drinking water improved feed conversion.…”

Biosynthesis of sulfur-doped zinc oxide using bidara leaf extract

“…It reveals that the addition of S atoms to ZnO can affect the particle size. This difference could be attributed to the presence of sulfur impurities, which may affect the crystal growth and hinder the aggregation of particles, resulting in smaller and more dispersed particles [10]. Changes in particle size and morphology are likely to affect the band gap energy [9].…”

“…However, there is growing interest in exploring the potential of Bidara (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) plants due to their medicinal properties, numerous benefits, and easy cultivation in Indonesia. Bidara leaves are particularly rich in antioxidants and phenolic compounds [10]. In recent studies, bidara plant extract has been successfully employed as a stabilizing agent for synthesizing CuO nanoparticles, demonstrating its effectiveness as an environmentally friendly synthesis route compared to conventional chemical methods [11].…”

Bioinformatic Study of Ziziphus Jujuba (Rhamnaceae) in Preventing the Growth of Breast Cancer

“…Early menache or first menstruation at a relatively young age (less than 12 years) is associated with an increased risk of cancer with an OR = 1.5 [8] Based on the evaluation results, the latest evidence relating to diet and cancer, some recommendations to prevent cancer include a diet with organic types of food, balanced and varied nutrition, and a diet to maintain a normal body mass index and an active lifestyle [9,10,11]. This preventive approach, if widely implemented by international agencies, governments, industry, health professionals, consumers, and consumer advocacy groups, could reduce the global incidence of cancer by 10-20% within 10-25 years [ 12,13] One of the plants that can prevent the growth of breast cancer is Ziziphus jujube (Rhamnaceae) bidara plant [ 14,15,16 ] . The bidara plant has many useful ingredients including protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamins, active compounds such as flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, phenols, quercetin, methyl esters, terpenoids, saponins, and so on [17,18,19,20].…”
