The objective of this experiment was to study the effects of extract administration of temulawak (Curcuma xanthorriza Roxb.), temu ireng (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.), sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Nees.), and meniran (Phyllanthus niruri Linn) on leukocytes profile in broiler. Twenty five day old chick’s were used in this experiment. The animal were divided into five groups, there were combination of (F1) temulawak, temu ireng, sambiloto, and meniran extracts; (F2) temulawak, temu ireng and meniran extracts; (F3) temulawak and temu ireng extracts; (F4) sambiloto and meniran extracts; and (F5) untreated as control. The extracts were gave for 28 days through the oral route. The chickens were taken randomly 3 heads of each groups on the last day of treatment for blood sampling. Blood samples were taken from brachialis veins to determine the leukocyte profiles. Results of this study showed that percentage of lymphocytes increased in the group F2, F3, and F4, with a marked increased in the group F4. The percentage of monocytes increased in all treatment groups compared to the control group. The precentage of heterophils and eosinophils increased in the F1 group compared to the control group, while percentage of basophils increased in the F2 group compared to the control group. In conclusion, extracts of temulawak and temu ireng administration were the best combination to increase immune system.
