ABSTRACT
Consumption of edible bird's nest (EBN)
has been a common practice for the health benefits it is believed to provide.
Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effects of both traditional edible
bird's nest (TEBN) and convenient edible bird’s nest (CEBN) on the spatial
learning of male Sprague Dawley rats in a radial arm maze (RAM). A total of 24
male rats (270-300 g) were allocated into three groups based on diet given
namely pellet only (control group), pellet mixed with TEBN (300 mg/kg) and
pellet mixed with CEBN (300 mg/kg). The rats were fed with the aforementioned
diet throughout the study for 42 days and exposed to RAM for spatial learning
assessments which consisted of shaping (3 days), acquisition (8 days) and
retention (1 day) trials. In the acquisition trials, CEBN reduced working
memory error (WME) on day 5 compared to control, and day 6 compared to the TEBN
group. TEBN markedly reduced reference memory error (RME) on day 1 and 8, time
spent (day 3) and percentage of correct choices made (day 3) during the
acquisition trials compared to CEBN. TEBN and CEBN significantly reduced WME,
however, only CEBN increased RME during the retention trial. CEBN significantly affected the total entries produced in
the RAM which indicated the non-specific effects of CEBN on the locomotion of
the rats. Our findings suggested that TEBN may work better than CEBN in
improving spatial learning considering the fact that CEBN markedly reduced the
locomotion of the rats during the retention trial.

ABSTRAK
Pengambilan ‘sarang burung Walit’ (EBN) telah menjadi amalan biasa oleh kerana ia dipercayai mempunyai manfaat kesihatan. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan mengkaji kesan ‘sarang burung Walit tradisi (TEBN) dan ‘sarang burung Walit mudah-masak’ (CEBN) ke atas pembelajaran reruang tikus Sprague Dawley jantan dalam lorongan keliru lengan radial (RAM). Sebanyak 24 ekor tikus jantan (270-300 g) telah dibahagikan kepada tiga kumpulan berdasarkan diet yang diberikan iaitu pelet sahaja (kumpulan kawalan), pelet yang dicampurkan dengan TEBN (300
mg/kg) dan pelet yang dicampurkan dengan CEBN (300 mg/kg). Kesemua tikus telah diberi diet tersebut sepanjang kajian selama 42 hari dan didedahkan kepada RAM untuk penilaian pembelajaran reruang yang terdiri daripada percubaan pembentukan (3 hari), perolehan (8 hari) dan pengekalan (1 hari). Dalam percubaan perolehan, CEBN telah mengurangkan ralat ingatan kerja (WME) pada hari ke-5 berbanding kawalan dan hari ke-6 berbanding kumpulan TEBN. TEBN telah mengurangkan ralat ingatan rujukan (RME) dengan ketara pada hari pertama dan ke-8, masa yang diambil (hari ke-3) dan peratusan membuat pilihan yang betul (hari ke-3) semasa percubaan perolehan berbanding CEBN. TEBN dan CEBN telah mengurangkan WME secara signifikan, namun hanya CEBN yang meningkatkan RME semasa percubaan pengekalan. CEBN mempengaruhi keseluruhan entri yang dihasilkan dalam RAM secara signifikan yang menunjukkan kesan tidak khusus CEBN pada pergerakan tikus. Penemuan ini mencadangkan TEBN mungkin berfungsi lebih baik daripada CEBN dalam meningkatkan pembelajaran reruang memandangkan CEBN telah mengurangkan pergerakan tikus secara signifikan semasa percubaan pengekalan.
