Abstract

The development of the digestive tract organs, especially the intestines in utilizing nutrients correlates with body growth. This research aims to decide the effect of maggot flour on the histomorphometric and organ weight of the small intestine in eight-week-old native chickens. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications, namely P0 = 0% (0% maggot flour), P1 = 25% (3.74% maggot flour), P2 = 50% (7.51% maggot flour), P3 = 75% (11.26% maggot flour), P4 = 100% (15% maggot flour). On the eight weeks the birds were slaughtered, then the duodenum, jejunum, ileum were taken and weighed, then processed for making histological preparations using the paraffinization method and staining with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). The results obtained indicated that the provision of maggot flour has a significant impact (P<0.05) on the histomorphometric of apical width, basal width, villi height, the distance between the villi and organ weight in the three segments of the small intestine. In conclusion, the use of 11.26% maggot meal in the diet increased the apical width, basal width, villi height, the distance between the villi and the weight of the small intestine organs in native chickens.
