This study aims to evaluate the use of cassava peels added with lactic acid bacteria on the immune organ weight of super native chickens. The material used in this study was 144 Day Old Chick (DOC) super unsex native chicken with an average body weight of 34 ± 3,14 gram. The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with a dose of liquid feed additive in the form of a combination of cassava peel flour and lactic acid bacteria mixed with rations. The treatments in this study included T0: basal ration, T1 (basal ration + 10% feed additive ml/kg), T2 (basal ration + 15% feed additive ml/kg) and T3 (basal ration + 20% feed additive ml/kg). The parameters observed were body weight, the relative weight of lymph, thymus, and bursa Fabricius superficial chicken stock exchange. The result showed that the combination of cassava peel and lactic acid bacteria had no significant effect (P>0.05) on body weight, the relative weight of the lymph organs, thymus, and bursa Fabricius of super native chickens. This research concludes that the combination of cassava peel and lactic acid bacteria as a feed additive can maintain chickens' health by not increasing the relative weight of the super native chicken immune organs to the level of 200 ml/kg.

Antiseptic application on cow’s teat after milking is essential to prevent the udder infection during milking. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of Tectona grandis leaves extract as the main ingredient of antiseptic gel for cow’s teat as the innovation from conventional antiseptic solutions. The effects of herbal gel antiseptic on milk quality and the level of mammary inflammation (mastitis) were also determined. The mammary inflammation level determined by California Mastitis Test (CMT). Total of four sub-clinical mastitis cows (sixteen teats) were used in the completely randomized design split plot in time (four treatments and four replications). The main plots were the red teak leaves extract with different levels: 0.10% (P1); 0.06% (P2); 0.02% (P3) and povidone iodine (P0) as positive control. The sub-plot was the duration of treatments (0, 5 and 10 days). The result showed that bacterial counts in milk from cows using herbal antiseptic gel (P1, P2, P3) were lower (P<0.05) than those using povidone iodine (P0). The bacterial counts in milk and the mammary gland’s inflammation degree were significantly decreased (P<0.05) as the treatment duration increased. There were significantly difference on the level of mammary inflammation healing between cows using herbal antiseptic gel and povidone iodine. The decreased level of mammary inflammation was thought to have an effect on increasing the protein, fat, and lactose contents in milk of cows using herbal gel (P<0.05). Hence, the antiseptic gel with the lowest dose (0.02%) has the potential for use as anti-inflammatory agents.
