Abstract

This experiment was conducted to assess the effects of bamboo leaf extract (BLE) supplementation on heterophil, lymphocyte, and heterophil to lymphocyte ratio of broiler chickens. A total of 90 one-day-old Cobb broilers were randomly allocated to 5 treatments with 3 replicates of 6 broilers each. The treatments were T1) BLE-free control diet (control); T2) control + 100 ppm BLE; T3) control + 300 ppm BLE; T4) control + 500 ppm BLE; and T5) control + 700 ppm BLE. The experiment lasted for 35 days. All birds did not get any vaccinations. Blood samples were collected on day 21 and day 35. Results showed that on day 21, T2 had lower heterophil than other treatments with the highest at T1, based on average level (p> 0.05). T5 showed higher lymphocyte levels and the lowest at T2 than other treatments. Meanwhile, on day 35, the lowest level of heterophils was still at T2. The highest lymphocyte levels were at T4 and the lowest was at T3. Control diet with 500 ppm bamboo leaf extract (T4) showed that bamboo leaf extract reduced the heterophil to lymphocyte (H/L) ratio. Flavonoids and vitamin C in bamboo leaf extract improved the lymphocyte levels and decreased the heterophil levels which affected the H/L ratio value.
