ABSTRACT
High environmental temperatures may cause heat stress in poultry. This may increase
water consumption, decrease feed consumption and in turn, decrease production level. In
addition, high temperature contributes to oxidative stress, a condition where oxidant
activity (free radicals) exceeds antioxidant activity. In this research, antanan (Centella
asiatica) and vitamin C were utilized as anti heat-stress agents for heat stressed broilers.
The research used 120 male broilers of 2 – 6 weeks of age, kept at 31.98 ± 1.94oC poultry
house temperatures during the day and 27.36 ± 1.31oC at night. The data colected were
analyzed with a factorial in completely randomized design of 2 x 3 (2 levels of vitamin C,
3 levels of antanan and 4 replications) and continued with contrast-orthogonal test when
necessary. The result indicated that the treatments of 5% antanan (A5), 10% antanan (A10),
combination of A5C, and A10C significantly (P
