Effect of katuk (Sauropus androgynus) powder supplementation on the levels of progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17β (E2) hormones in kacang goat (Capra aegragus)

Abstract

Abstract. Putranto HD, Hasibuan GP, Yumiati Y, Ginting SM. 2017 . Effect of katuk (Sauropus androgynus) powder supplementation on the levels of progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17β (E2) hormones in kacang goat (Capra aegragus). Nusantara Bioscience 9: 86-91.Kacang goat (Capra aegragus) is one of Indonesian endemic ruminant species which commonly retained by the community in Indonesia. This species is classified as a small ruminant which has many benefits i.e easy to be domesticated and to adapt, and has an economical value especially for saving purposes to farmers in marginal areas. This study aimed to observe the effects of the katuk powder supplementation (Sauropus androgynus) in the feed of kacang goats on the level of reproductive hormones (progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17β (E2)) in female kacang goats. A total of 9 female kacang goats which meet the prerequisite samples i.e reaching the age of a sexual maturity, having a homogenous weight (12.00 ± 1.00 kg) and in healthy condition were then devided into three groups of treatments using a Completely Randomized Design method. Each treatments consisted of 3 kacang goats as a replication. The treatments consisted of: (i) feed without katuk powder supplementation (control), (ii) feed with the concentration of katuk powder supplementation was 3% of kacang goat's body weight, and (iii) feed with the concentration of katuk powder supplementation was 6% of kacang goat's body weight. After 60 days of treatments, the results showed that the supplementation of katuk powder on female kacang goats had no significant effect on the level of progesterone and estradiol-17β in the first sampling (day-0, P>0.05), however the treatment had a significant effect to the level of progesterone and estradiol-17β on the second sampling (day-28) and the third sampling (day-56) with a significance level of P<0.05. It was concluded that the supplementation of katuk powder could increase the level of progesteron and estradiol-17β hormones in kacang goats. The katuk powder supplementation about 3% of goat weight has sufficiently increased the level of reproduction hormones in female kacang goats.

Short Communication: Phytochemical screening and toxicity of ethanol extract of Sauropus androgynus

“…Improvements in pregnancy when cows were fed Ca salts of a mix of C18:2 omega-6 and transoctadecenoic fatty acids were supported by the increased fertilization and embryo quality in non-super ovulated lactating dairy cows (Cerri et al 2004). Supplementation of S. androgynus powder at a dose of about 3% can increase reproductive hormones in female kacang goat (Putranto et al 2017).…”

Phytochemical, GC-MS analysis and antioxidant activities of leaf methanolic extract of Lai (Durio kutejensis), the endemic plant of Kalimantan, Indonesia

“…The methanol extract of D kutejensis leaves contains 9,12,-octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester-a fatty acid group; these compounds are also found in the katuk (Sauropus androgynus) extract (Awaluddin et al 2020). Putranto et al (2017) reported that applying S. androgynus extract increases reproductive hormones in female goats. The ethanolic root bark extract of D. kutejensis showed cytotoxic activity (Priyadi et al 2021).…”

Substitusi Batang Lunak Pada Produksi Pelet Katuk Depolarisasi Untuk Perbaikan Produktifitas Domba

“…Hal ini dapat dimaklumi mengingat pengaruh senyawa aktif dalam daun katuk yang dapat meningkatkan kadar hormonal. Putranto et al (2017) melaporkan bahwa suplementasi 3% daun katuk dalam pakan kambing kacang mampu meningkatkan kadar hormon reproduksi (progesteron dan estrogen-17β) dalam darah kambing kacang betina. Pemberian suplemen daun katuk pada kambing kacang jantan juga memerlihatkan peran hormonal, serta dapat meningkatkan produksi spermatid dan spermatosit pada testis kambing (Farasyi et al 2014).…”

“…Daun katuk sudah diketahui mengandung senyawa aktif yang memiliki aksi metabolik maupun aksi hormonal, juga mengandung senyawa anabolik steroid sehingga mampu memicu sintesis protein dan pertumbuhan bobot badan ternak (Suprayogi 2016). Laporan tesebut dikuatkan oleh Putranto et al (2017) yang menguatkan bahwa suplementasi 3% daun katuk dalam pakan kambing kacang mampu meningkatkan kadar hormon reproduksi (progesteron dan estrogen-17β) dalam darah kambing kacang betina. Pemberian suplemen daun katuk pada kambing kacang jantan juga mengindikasikan peran hormonal, serta dapat meningkatkan produksi spermatid dan spermatosit pada testis kambing (Farasyi et al 2014).…”
