Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas antimikroba kefir susu sapi yang diinkubasi pada tempurung kelapa hijau muda terhadap Staphylococcus aureus dan Escherichia coli. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan tiga perlakuan dan lima ulangan. Ketiga perlakuan yaitu: kefir susu sapi yang diinkubasi didalam wadah toples atau kontrol (P0), kefir susu sapi yang diinkubasi pada tempurung kelapa hijau muda tanpa daging (P1), kefir susu sapi yang diinkubasi pada tempurung kelapa hijau muda dengan daging (P2). Variabel yang diamati yakni aktivitas antimikroba kefir terhadap Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 3351, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 dan nilai pH serta total bakteri asam laktat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas antimikroba kefir terhadap Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 3351 dan Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 pada semua perlakuan (P2, P1dan P0) menunjukkan perbedaan yang tidak nyata (P>0,05) dengan diameter zona bening 10,50 11,30 mm dan 9,70 11,03 mm, diikuti dengan nilai pH pada perlakuan P2 (3,95), P1 (4,11), dan P0 (4,38) secara statistika berbeda nyata (P<0,05), dan total bakteri asam laktat pada P2, P1 dan P0 masing-masing sebesar 14,3 x 106 CFU/g; 13,5 x 106 CFU/g dan 8,1 x 106 CFU/g berbeda tidak nyata (P>0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini ialah kefir susu sapi yang diinkubasi pada tempurung kelapa hijau muda mempunyai aktivitas antimikroba terhadap Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 3351 dan Escherichia coli ATCC 8739
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that are used as feed supplements whose activity in the host's digestive tract produces organic acids so that the intestinal microflora is always in a balanced state and nutrient absorption can be optimal. This study aims to examine the effect of probiotic (Pro-B10) supplementation in the diet on egg characteristics and performance of laying hens. A total of 120 hens aged 60 weeks were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups, namely: the group of laying hens fed a diet supplemented with 0.5% Pro-B10 (P1); 1% Pro-B10 (P2); and 1.5% Pro-B10 (P3). The control group of chickens was fed without Pro-B10 (P0). Each treatment with 5 repetitions with 30 hens per repetition. The results showed that the hens in the P3 group had the highest egg production and feed efficiency (P<0.05) compared to the P0, P1 and P2 hen groups. Pro-B10 supplementation in the diet had a significant (P<0.05) effect on egg characteristics.It can be concluded that supplementation of 1.5% probiotic Pro-B10 in feed for Lohmann Brown laying hens from 60-68 weeks of age, can increase egg production and feed efficiency, as well as increase the weight and color of eggshells which are preferred by consumers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
