Nilai Hematologi Puyuh Periode Bertelur dengan Pemberian Asap Cair Tempurung Kelapa Grade 2 dalam Air Minum

Abstract

Puyuh (Coturnix coturnix japonica) merupakan unggas penghasil telur dan daging yang produktivitasnya dipengaruhi kondisi lingkungan. Suhu lingkungan di Indonesia cenderung tinggi dan melampaui zona nyaman puyuh, memicu stres panas dan jika tidak segera di atasi dapat memicu terjadinya stres oksidatif. Stres oksidatif merugikan kesehatan dan produktivitas puyuh. Asap cair tempurung kelapa grade 2 mengandung fenol sebagai antioksidan alami yang berpotensi mengurangi stres oksidatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh pemberian asap cair grade 2 melalui air minum terhadap nilai hematologi puyuh periode bertelur. Penelitian dilaksanakan 6 minggu menggunakan 200 puyuh betina umur 6-12 minggu dengan rancangan acak lengkap 5 taraf perlakuan dosis asap cair dan 4 ulangan. Variabel meliputi eritrosit, hemoglobin, hematokrit, indeks eritrosit, leukosit, diferensiasi leukosit, dan rasio H/L yang dianalisa secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian asap cair tempurung kelapa grade 2 mampu memperbaiki nilai eritrosit, hemoglobin, hematokrit, indeks eritrosit, dan leukosit dalam kisaran normal. Meski suhu lingkungan tinggi, pemberian asap cair menurunkan stres oksidatif pada puyuh. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah asap cair tempurung kelapa grade 2 efektif sebagai sumber antioksidan dengan dosis 0,25 mL/L air minum (P1) ACTK menghasilkan nilai normal untuk sel darah merah, sel darah putih, dan rasio H/L terendah.

Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) are poultry that produce eggs and meat, and their productivity is influenced by environmental conditions. The ambient temperature in Indonesia tends to be high and exceeds the quail's comfort zone, triggering heat stress and, if not immediately addressed, can trigger oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is detrimental to quail health and productivity. Grade 2 coconut shell liquid smoke contains phenols as natural antioxidants that have the potential to reduce oxidative stress. This study aims to analyze the effect of administering grade 2 liquid smoke through drinking water on the hematological values of quails during the laying period. The study was conducted for 6 weeks using 200 female quails aged 6-12 weeks with a completely randomized design of 5 levels of liquid smoke dosage and 4 replicates. The variables included erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte index, leukocytes, leukocyte differentiation, and H/L ratio, which were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the administration of grade 2 coconut shell liquid smoke was able to improve erythrocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte index, and leukocyte values within the normal range. Despite the high ambient temperature, the administration of liquid smoke reduced oxidative stress in quails. The conclusion of this study is that grade 2 coconut shell liquid smoke is effective as an antioxidant source at a dose of 0.25 mL/L of drinking water (P1) ACTK, producing normal values for red blood cells, white blood cells, and the lowest H/L ratio.
