Abstract

Livestock productivity cannot be separated from their physiological status. Hematological tests are not only used to diagnose diseases in livestock but can be used to monitor health. Besides that, hematological parameters can also be used to assess stress levels by nutritional factors and become important information for the immune status of this livestock. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lauric acid and dietary fiber in the ration on hematological parameters. This research was conducted on 360 unsex broiler chickens which were divided into 36 experimental units. The study design followed a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern. Lauric acid (LA) was applied with different levels consisting of 1.30% (A1); 1.95% (A2), and 2.6% (A3). While, crude fiber in the ration was also applied with different level consisting of 5% (B1), 6% (B2), 7% (B3), and 8% (B4). Each experimental unit was repeated 3 times. Blood samples were taken at the age of 35 days for the measurement of erythrocytes, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, leukocytes, and indices erythrocytes. General linear model on Minitab (version 19) was used to analysis of diversity on the data obtained. Tukey simultaneous test (HSD) was tested a difference between treatments means, and the significance was evaluated at the level of P<0.01 and P<0.05. The results showed that different levels of lauric acid and crude fiber on ration had no effect (P>0.05) on hemoglobin concentration (Hb). Meanwhile, and packed cell volume (PCV). erythrocytes, leukocytes, and indices of erythrocytes showed significant differences. Although there were differences between treatments, they were still within the normal range for chickens. The results of this study indicate that the use of lauric acid and fiber in the ration did not affect the health of the chickens.
