ABSTRACT
This research to assesses the dried probiotic impact on broilers health as measured by uric acid, blood urea nitrogen, and blood creatinine. The study was conducted at Test Farm Animal Husbandry Faculty, Universitas Padjadjaran, from 6 August to 6 September 2019. A total of 100 day-old-chick were randomly assigned to five treatments and four replications using Completely Randomized Design. Dried probiotics used cow’s milk, soybean milk, and mung bean milk in combination with the oven-dry method. Dried probiotics can protect kidney cells from stress and free radicals in late-phase laying hens, which can be demonstrated by normal levels of creatinine, uric acid, and urea, thereby increasing productivity. The treatment consists T0: basal rations, T1: basal rations + 100% CM dried probiotic, T2: basal rations + 75% CM + 25% fermented MBM dried probiotic, T3: basal rations + 75% CM + 25% SM dried probiotic, and T4: basal ration + 50% CM + 25% MBM + 25% SM. Each treatment was given as much as 2% dried probiotic of the total ration. The results showed that T3 had the lowest (P> 0.05) FCR of all treatments. The average body weight in T2 treatment was greater (P <0.05) than other treatments. Supplementation of dried probiotics in T2 increased carcass percentage (P> 0.05) compared to other treatments. The average blood creatinine level in T0 was lower (P <0.0.5) than other treatments. Blood urea nitrogen level in T0 was lower (P> 0.05) than other treatments. Whereas for uric acid level, T3 was lower (P <0.05) than other treatments. Supplementation of dried probiotics can improve growth performance and provide health to kidney function.
