Feed used was a commercial feed with code B-11S to phase stater and BR-1AJ for the finisher phase and turmeric. The design used in this study was completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 5 replicates containing 8 DOC in each. The treatment consisted of T0 (100% water), T1 (75% water + 25% boiled turmeric water), T2 (50% water + 50% boiled turmeric water), T3 (25% water + 75% boiled turmeric water), T4 (100% boiled turmeric water).The results showed that boiled turmeric water give significantly affect the percentage of lymphocytes and eosinophils (P 0,05).
