ABSTRACT
This study aimed to determine the bioactive compound of turmeric and its effects on the reproductive organs of Mojosari ducks. A total of 500 grams of turmeric were prepared for the identification of bioactive compounds and flavonoids, while a total of 280 Mojosari ducks aged 20–28 weeks were used in the second step. The study comprised a descriptive analysis and a completely randomized design with six treatments and four replications with eight Mojosari laying ducks in each experimental unit. An extraction and maceration were employed during the early screening of the bioactive compound of turmeric. The treatments consisted of T0 = basal diet, T1 = basal diet + 0.2% turmeric, T2 = basal diet + 0.8% turmeric, T3 = basal diet + 0.2% turmeric + 0.1% probiotics, T4 = basal diet + turmeric 0.8% + 0.6% probiotics, and T5 = basal feed + bacitracin 0.01%. The data were analysed using Proc Means for multiple variates and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The significant difference (p < 0.05) was applied if treatments were significant. The regression equation y = 0.076x + 0.005 was obtained with coefficient r = 0.999. The results on the reproductive appearance of the Mojosari ducks showed that the average weight of the ovaries, large white and small white follicles had a significant effect (p <0.05). In conclusion, increasing the level of curcumin produced a linear increase in the number of bioactive compounds and the reproductive organs of Mojosari ducks.
