The Visceral Organ, Gastrointestinal Tract and Blood Characteristics in Pegagan Ducks Fed Ration Fermented by Tape Yeast with Different Moisture Content

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of administration diet containing locally sourced materials fermented by tape yeast with different moisture content on the weight of the visceral organs, gastrointestinal tract and blood chemistry and profile of Pegagan ducks. As many as 200 Pegagan ducks aged 3 days were kept for 6 weeks in colony cages. This study used a completely randomized design that consisted of 5 treatments and 4 replicates. The treatments tested were symbolized as P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 based on the level of moisture content used in the fermentation process of ration, namely control, 40, 50, 60 and 70%. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance continued by Duncan's multiple range test at 5%. The weight of gizzard, pancreas, crop-oesophagus, proventriculus, the total of small intestine and ceca were significantly (p<0.05) affected by treatment, but did not significantly affect (p>0.05) on the weight of bile, liver, spleen, heart, duodenum, jejunum, ileum and rectum. Furthermore, blood cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL of Pegagan ducks were significantly (p>0.05) different. It can be concluded that the fermentation process of locally sourced ration using a moisture content of 50% gives the optimal result on the weight of visceral organ, gastrointestinal tract and also blood chemistry and profile of Pegagan ducks.

Effect of Selenium Nanoparticles and Mannan Oligosaccharide Supplementation on Growth Performance, Stress Indicators, and Intestinal Microarchitecture of Broilers Reared under High Stocking Density

“…These findings agree with Kridtayopas et al [6] who reported decreased villus height in HSD broilers, and Kamel et al [35], who observed that HSD negatively affected duodenal histomorphometry. The decrease in VSA leads to reduce nutrient absorption and can also be linked with decreased intestinal weight [36], as observed in the current study. HSD stress leads to higher apoptosis and reduced epithelial cell proliferation.…”

Supplementation of Lactic Acid Bacteria Derived from Ensiled Kumpai Tembaga on Live Body Weight, Gastrointestinal Tract, Internal Organs, and Blood Profiles in Pegagan Ducks

“…At the end of the experiment, all ducks were weighed to determine the live body weight. The measurement of the relative weight and length of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and internal organs (IO) refers to Yosi et al (2017). As many 2 birds in each treatment were randomly selected.…”

“…Measurement of blood hematological and serum biochemical parameters according to Yosi et al (2017). At the end of the experiment, as many 3 ml of venous blood samples from 2 birds per pen were collected by puncture of the brachial vein using sterilized syringes containing anticoagulant.…”

Evaluation of the Effect of Vetom 1 in the Treatment of Knemidocoptes in Budgerigars

“…The rapid spread of bacterial infection is facilitated by the bird's anatomical and physiological characteristics. The appearance of a pathological focus on the mucous membranes can have consequences throughout the body, including the gastrointestinal tract (Yosi et al, 2017). The complex therapy of parasitic diseases should be accompanied by monitoring of the gastrointestinal tract's functional state for the presence of bacterial infections (Dzhafarov et al, 2010;Plys, 2017;Zhanabayev et al, 2022).…”
