Abstract
Katuk leaves (Sauropus androgynus L. Merr) are known to contain the active compounds, flavonoids, which can boost the immune system. This study aims to determine the effect of katuk leaves in the diet on the blood profile of growth Landrace pigs. Twelve castrated male pigs were used in this study, divided into 3 groups with 4 treatments. The treatment consisted of: T0 (control diet without katuk leaf meal); T1 (97% control diet + 3% katuk leaf meal); T2 (94% control diet + 6% katuk leaf meal); T3 (91% control diet + 9% katuk leaf meal). The variables measured were: cholesterol, TPP (Total Plasma Protein), Haemoglobin, Erythrocytes and leukocytes. Pigs were fed treated diets for duration of 8 weeks. Data were analyzed by using Completely Randomized Design. The results showed that katuk leaf meal increased TPP, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes and not significantly lowered blood cholesterol (P>0.05). The conclusion of this study was that the inclusion of katuk leaves meal in the diet had no significance effect on the blood characteristics of the growth Landrace crossbred pigs.

Keywords
