Effects of the Encapsulation of Liquid Smoke on Growth Performance, Intestinal Profile, and Microbial Profile of Broiler Chickens

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of supplementation of the encapsulated liquid smoke on growth performance, intestinal profile, and microbial profile of broiler chickens. A total 100 broiler chickens were reared for five weeks on the experimental diets. A general linear models with five treatments and four replications was employed. The treatments consisted of T 0 = control, T 1 = basal diet + acidal, T 2 = basal diet + 0.5% encapsulation of liquid smoke, T 3 = basal diet + 1.0% encapsulation of liquid smoke, T 4 = basal diet + 1.5% encapsulation of liquid smoke. Results were analysed using general linear model using SAS Demand on Academics, least significant differences were applied if there are significance. The result showed that using encapsulation of liquid smoke was significantly difference (p < 0.05) on the body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), crypt depth, and reduce total population of Escherichia coli in the intestinal. To sum up, using liquid smoke encapsulation successfully increasing villus height and reduce feed conversion ratio without any adverse effect.
