Aktivitas Alanin Aminotransferase dan Aspartat Aminotransferase pada Broiler yang Diberikan Penambahan Tepung Temulawak dalam Pakan

ABSTRAK Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) merupakan salah satu tanaman obat yang banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat, termasuk digunakan secara luas pada hewan karena mempunyai banyak khasiat bagi kesehatan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui efek penambahan tepung temulawak dalam pakan terhadap aktivitas ALT dan AST pada broiler. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 24 ekor broiler betina umur 14 hari yang dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok, yaitu kelompok P0 (pakan normal tanpa penambahan tepung temulawak), kelompok P1 (tepung temulawak 10 gr/kg pakan), P2 (tepung temulawak 20 gr/kg pakan), dan P3 (tepung temulawak 30 gr/kg pakan). Setelah umur 35 hari darah diambil melalui vena brachialis menggunakan spuit 5 ml selanjutnya dilakukan pemeriksaan aktivitas ALT dan AST dengan menggunakan Photometer 5010. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan Sidik Ragam/ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung temulawak dalam pakan broiler tidak mempengaruhi aktivitas ALT dan AST (P>0,05). Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penambahan tepung temulawak dalam pakan broiler dosis 10 gr/kg pakan sampai 30 gr/kg pakan selama 21 hari masih tergolong dosis aman.

ABSTRACT Curcuma (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) is one of the medicinal plants, which is widely used by the community, including used a lot in animals because it has many benefits for health. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of the addition of curcuma flour on the feed toward the activity of ALT and AST on the broiler. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 24 female broilers aged 14 days which were divided into four groups, namely group P0 (normal feed without addition of curcuma flour), P1 group (curcuma flour 10gr/kg of the feed)), P2 (curcuma flour 20gr/kg of the feed)), and P3 (curcuma flour 30gr/kg of the feed)). After 35 days, the blood is taken through the brachial vein using 5ml syringe. Then, the examination of ALT and AST activity is conducted by using Photometer 5010. The data were analyzed by using ANOVA. The results showed that the addition of curcuma flour in broiler's feed did not affect the activity of ALT and AST (P>0.05). From the study, it can be concluded that the addition of curcuma flour in broiler's feed the dose 10 gr/kg of feed until 30 gr/kg of feed for 21 days were still classified as safe dosage.
