“…The relative thymus weight was below the normal size, while that of the spleen and bursa Fabricius was within the normal range. The normal size of the bursa Fabricius and thymus of broilers aged 42 days was 0.09% and 0.48% of live weight, respectively [ 24 ], and the spleen ranged from 0.07% to 0.26% [ 17 , 25 ].…”

“…According to Sapsuha et al [ 17 ], Wulandari et al [ 18 ], and Cholis et al [ 4 ], Lactobacillus is a probiotic that is frequently utilized in broilers . Furthermore, Shoeib and Madian [ 19 ] and Sugiharto et al [ 20 ] reported that an example of this probiotic is Lactobacillus acidophilus , which naturally resides in the animals’ digestive tract.…”

Objective: The feeding effects of DoLa (a combination of Dayak onion extract and probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus ) on hematological indices and lymphoid organs as indicators of broiler health status were evaluated in the present study. Materials and Methods: 192 1-day-old unsexed broilers of the CP 707 strain with a body weight of 46.43 ± 1.65 gm were randomly divided into 4 dietary treatments with 6 replications. The dietary treatments applied were basal diet (BD) as a control with a code of DoLa0, BD + 0.1% DoLa (DoLa1), BD + 0.2% DoLa (DoLa2), and BD + 0.3% DoLa (DoLa3). The parameters monitored included hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), heterophile (H), lymphocyte (L), white blood cell (WBC), heterophile-lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, the lymphoid organs (bursa Fabricius, spleen, and thymus) relative weight, as well as carcass weight. Results: The results indicated a significant improvement in WBC, L, and carcass weight ( p < 0.05) as the feeding level of DoLa increased while the H and H/L ratio decreased. However, the dietary inclusion of DoLa did not affect the lymphoid organs’ relative weight, RBC, and Hb concentrations. Conclusion: The mixture at 0.3% significantly improved health status through the indicators of hematological indices, lymphoid organs, and carcass weight of broilers.

“…Recent research results show that nutmeg flesh extract can maintain the survivability of L. plantarum so that it can be used as a synbiotic in broiler chickens (Sapsuha et al 2023a). It was further found that giving it to broiler chickens can improve performance and intestinal morphology and improve intestinal microbes (Sapsuha et al 2023b), but its effect on broiler chickens reared at high densities has never been studied.…”

This study aims to examine the effect of synbiotic nutmeg flesh extract and L. plantarum on intestinal morphology, stress indicators and bacterial populations in broiler chickens reared at high densities. Broiler chickens (body weight 142 ± 4,71 g) were randomly divided into five treatments, and each treatment was repeated five times, namely, T0 (negative control with a normal density of 10 birds/m2), T1 (positive control with a high density of 18 birds/m2), T2, T3, and T4 with a high density of 18 birds/m2. The synbiotic nutmeg flesh extract and L. plantarum were added to the feed from the eighth day at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 ml/kg for T2, T3, and T4, respectively. The results of the study showed that administering synbiotic nutmeg flesh extract and L. plantarum to broiler chickens reared at high density significantly (p<0.05) increased growth performance and villous length in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. In addition, this synbiotic also lowers the pH in the ileum and cecum, increases lactic acid bacteria and reduces coliform bacteria in the ileum and cecum, reduces the H/L and malondialdehyde (MDA) ratio and increases superoxide dismutase (SOD). Providing synbiotic nutmeg flesh extract and L. plantarum is also able to improve the performance and stress of broiler chickens raised at high densities.

Background and Aim: The ban on antibiotic growth promoters adversely affects the physiological condition and health of poultry. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of encapsulated Acalypha australis L. leaf extract, chitosan, or a combination of both on the physiological and intestinal conditions of broiler chickens. Materials and Methods: A total of 280 Cobb broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four groups: Basal feed without additives (CNTL), basal feed with 0.01% encapsulated A. australis leaf extract (EALE), 0.01% chitosan (CHIT), and 0.01% EALE and 0.01% chitosan (EACH). Sample collection and data measurement were conducted on day 36. Results: There was a tendency (p = 0.08) for EACH bird to have a higher body weight than the other groups. Feed consumption was higher (p < 0.05) in EACH than in EALE and CHIT. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lower (p < 0.05) in EALE, CHIT, and EACH than in CNTL. Erythrocyte numbers were lower (p < 0.05) in EALE than in CNTL and EACH. Hematocrit was lower (p < 0.05) in EALE and CHIT groups than in the other two groups. There was a tendency (p = 0.09) for heterophils to be higher in EACH than in CNTL. Thrombocyte counts were lower (p < 0.05) in EACH group than in the other groups. Serum globulin levels were higher (p < 0.05) in EACH than in CNTL and CHIT. The albumin-to-globulin ratio was higher (p < 0.05) in CNTL than in EALE and EACH. Coliform bacteria tended to be lower (p = 0.05) in the cecum of EACH broilers than that of other broilers. Similarly, the ratio of Lactic acid bacteria to coliforms tended to be higher (p = 0.08) in the cecum of EACH group than that in the other groups. Treatments did not influence the intestinal morphology of broiler chickens (p > 0.05). Conclusion: A combination of EALE and chitosan as feed additives enhanced the final body weight and feed efficiency (FCR) of broilers. These additives also increased the levels of heterophils, serum globulin, the ratio of LAB to coliforms, and reduced thrombocytes, albumin-to-globulin ratio, and cecal coliform bacteria. Hence, EALE and chitosan blend improved the growth performance, immune status, and intestinal health of broiler chickens. Keywords: broilers, chitosan, herbs, immune system, intestinal health, synergistic effect.
