Effect of jamblang leaf in drinking water on physical quality, lactic acid bacteria population and intestinal villi histology of broiler chickens

Abstract This research was conducted aiming to find alternative antibiotics using local plants that are rich in antioxidants. The antioxidant content is used as a feed additive and an antibiotics, so livestock products safe from antibiotic residues. Jamblang leaf one of the potential typical Aceh which expected be broiler cultivation. study 4 treatments jamblang extract given into drinking water. P0 water without extract, P1 0.25 g/L water, P2 0.5 P3 1 completely randomized design (CRD) with each treatment repeated 3 times total 5 chickens per replication. parameters measured were physical quality intestinal villi (height villi, lumen thickness number glands), population lactic acid bacteria (LAB) digestive tract, histological condition chickens. Data analyzed analysis variance. results showed had no significant effect (P>0.05) on but significantly (P<0.05) decreased LAB treatment. due still stood upright compared control. In conclusion, has not been able improve appearance tends reduce tract.
