| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate the preliminary study of using a cannabis extract mixed into drinking water to reduce stress during transportation in native chickens. A total of 160 mixed -sex Black-bone chickens, aged 4 weeks, were randomly assigned to four treatment groups with four replicates of 10 birds each. Birds received cannabis extract (Full-spectrum CBD 20%) at levels of 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mL/kg body weight. The extract was administered once, immediately prior to transport. Post-transport growth performance was monitored until the chickens reached 49 days. The results showed that there were no significant differences in plasma corticosterone concentrations among treatments (H = 5.997, df = 3, p = 0.112). Cannabis extract supplementation had no significant effects on post-transport body weight, feed intake, growth rate, feed conversion ratio, or mortality (p > 0.05). This study indicates that pre-transport supplementation with cannabis extract did not reduce stress or improve growth performance in Black-bone chickens. However, this experiment was a simulated transport scenario, which may have led to different environmental conditions. Additionally, the dosage and period of administration may have been inappropriate. Therefore, further research under practical conditions is recommended. |
