Effect of Pellet Binder CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose) Viscosity and Protease Enriched Drinking Water on the Performance and Health Status of IPB-D1 Chickens

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the performance and health of IPB-D1 chickens fed pellets with 0.5% CMC binder and the addition of 10 mg L-1 protease enzyme in drinking water. A total of 200 IPB-D1 chickens were reared until 8 weeks of age using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors and five replications, consisting of 2 different types of CMC binder (F1501P viscosity 1000-2500 cps) and (CMC F3001P viscosity 2500-4000 cps) and the addition of enzyme in drinking water (0 mg L-1 and 10 mg L-1). Parameters observed included performance, blood profile, immune organs, internal organs, digestive organs, and carcass percentage. Results showed that the CMC binder had a significant effect on the lymph weight and bursa fabricius. The addition of the protease enzyme in drinking water increased leukocyte levels, thymus weight, and relative length of jejunum and ileum. The use of CMC binder pellets and the addition of protease enzyme in drinking water did not affect the growth performance and health status of IPB-D1 chickens.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi performa dan kesehatan ayam IPB-D1 yang diberi pakan pelet dengan 0,5% binder CMC dan penambahan enzim protease 10 mg L-1 dalam air minum. Sebanyak 200 ekor ayam IPB-D1 dipelihara hingga umur 8 minggu dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) Faktorial dengan dua faktor dan lima ulangan yang terdiri atas 2 jenis pelet mengandung binder CMC (F1501P viskositas 1000-2500 cps) dan (CMC F3001P viskositas 2500-4000 cps) serta enzim protease dalam air minum (0 mg L-1 dan 10 mg L-1) Parameter yang diamati mencakup performa, profil darah, organ imunitas, organ dalam, organ pencernaan, dan persentase karkas. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa binder CMC berpengaruh nyata terhadap bobot limfa dan bursa fabrisius, sementara penambahan enzim protease dalam air minum meningkatkan kadar leukosit, bobot timus, serta panjang relatif jejunum dan ileum. Penggunaan pelet mengandung binder CMC dan penambahan enzim protease dalam air minum tidak menganggu peforma dan status kesehatan ayam IPB-D1.
