Lipid Regulation and Cardiovascular Biomarkers of Native Chickens Fed a Combination of Maggot, Indigofera and Turmeric

Abstract

S outh Sulawesi is a centre for the development and pro- duction of local chicken in Indonesia.The topography of Sulawesi varies from the lowlands to the highlands contributing to the biodiversity of plants and animals.Nevertheless, the rearing of local chicken is widespread in all these topographies.Previous research shows that local chicken productivity is strongly influenced by topography or altitude, including other factors such as feed and genet-ics.Feed plays an important role in animal metabolism, especially in local chickens, whether they are given protein source feed or feed additives in the form of phytobiotics.A range of studies have demonstrated the potential metabolic changes in livestock fed protein and phytobiotic supplements.Drannikov et al. (2020) highlights the benefits of a protein feed supplement derived from red clover plants, which can improve feed intake and normalize the acid-base environment.Gheisar and Kim (2018) and Purwanti et al. (2014) both emphasize the positive effects of phytobiotics on animal performance, including improved research
