The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving herbal solutions [betel and binahong] on the performance of male laying chickens. The materials used were 96 male chickens aged 2 weeks. Completely Randomized Design [CRD] with four treatments and six replications were used in this research. The treatments were: R0: drinking water without betel and binahong leaf solution, R1: Drinking water + 20 ml betel leaf solution/l , R2: drinking water + 20 ml binahong leaf solution/l, R3: drinking water + a combination of 10 ml of betel leaf and binahong solution/l. The variables measured were feed intake, water intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio. The results of the study showed that the treatments had no significant effect [P>0.05] on all observed variables. Thus it can be concluded that the administration of of betel and binahong leafs solution with a level of 20 ml/l and their 10% combination in drinking water has not been able to improve the performance of male laying chickens.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of giving Moringa leaf flour and “katuk” leafs and their combination on the performance of broiler chickens. The study used 96 DOC broiler chickens and Completely Randomized Design [CRD] with 4 treatments and 6 replications; each unit consists of 4 chickens. The treatments consisted of: R0: Basal ration [control], R1: Basal ration + 10% Moringa leaf meal, R2: Basal ration + 10% katuk leaf meal and R3: Basal ration + a combination of 5% Moringa and katuk leaf meal. The variables measured included feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the treatment had a very significant effect [P<0.01] on all measured variables. It was concluded that the administration of 10% Moringa leaf meal, 10% katuk leaf meal and a combination of 5% of these two herbal meal decreased the performance of broiler chickens and tend to increase income offer feed cost [IOFC].
