Deskripsi
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of fruit hydroalcoholic extract of Withania coagulans (WC) and 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol on bone mechanical and histological properties of male chickens. Diets were arranged factorially (2×3×2) consisted of a positive control with adequate Ca (10.4 g/kg diet) and nonphytate P (NPP; 5 g/kg diet) exceed the requirements suggested in the Ross 308 broiler nutrient specifications and a negative control diet with Ca (7.3 g/kg diet) and nonphytate P (NPP; 5 g/kg diet), three levels of Withania coagulans (0, 100 and 200 mg/kg diet), and two levels of 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (0 and 0.5 μg/kg diet). Both Ca and P retention significantly increased by reducing dietary Ca level (P
