Abstrak: Curcuma has xanthorrizol curcuminoids and volatile oils as its main contents that are beneficial as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antitumor. Twenty broiler chickens aged 21 days were divided into 4 groups of treatment, each group consisted of 5 chickens. Group I was the control group that was not given any curcuma extract, while group II, III, and IV were the group that was given curcuma syrup plus at the concentration of 1, 3, and 5 ppm syrup curcuma plus were given twice a day. Blood samplings were performed at week 1, 2, and 3. The blood was taken from venna axillaris to make blood smear. The blood smear were stained by using 10% Giemsa and to abserve leukocyte differentiation. The result showed that curcuma syrup effect the average value of leucocytes and lymphocytes amount, but there was a tendency of decrease in average amount of monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils in the third week. The curcuma syrup plus decreased index stress of chicken broiler

Abstrak: Curcuma is a herbal plant that contain xanthorrizol curcuminoid and volatile oil as its main active ingredient that are beneficial as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antitumor. The research was conducted to examine the influence of curcuma at various concentration levels1, 3, and 5 ppm on total red blood cells, hematocrit value and haemoglobin concentration of broiler chickens. Twenty day old chick were divided into 4 groups, each group consisted of 5 chickens. Group I was the control group that was not given any curcuma syrup, while group II, III, and IV were given curcuma syrup at the concentration of 1, 3, and 5 ppm for 21 days. Blood samplings were performed at week 1, 2, and 3. The control group had lower total red blood cells, haematocrit, and haemoglobin concentration than the other groups. It was concluded that curcuma plus (group III and IV) could increase total red blood cells of chickens and there was not significant effects in hematocrit value and haemoglobin concentrations

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
