ABSTRACT
Papaya leaves have benefits for the health of broiler chickens, such as improving the immune system by increasing antioxidant levels in the blood and stimulating the production of white blood cells. Papaya leaves also have natural antimicrobial and natural antibiotic. This study aims to analyze the blood profile of broiler chickens given papaya leaves in drinking water. The research was carried out on Jalan. Haji Lamuse, Lorong Semeru, Lepo-lepo Village, Baruga District, Kendari City from March to April 2023. The design used in this research was a completely randomized design (RAL) with 4 treatments and 5 replications, so there were 20 experimental units and each experimental unit consisted of 2 chickens. The experimental units used were 40 broiler chickens. The research treatments carried out were P1 = Use of plain water without additions, P2 = 2.5 ml of papaya leaf boiled liquid per liter of water, P3 = 5 ml of papaya leaf boiled liquid per liter of water, P4 = Use of 7.5 papaya leaf boiled liquid per liter of water. The variables observed include hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values, hematocrit values and leukocyte differential. The results showed that administering boiled papaya leaves through drinking water had a significant effect (P<0.05) on hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values, lymphocytes and monocytes.
