Penelitian broiler dengan pemberian tanaman obat sebagai feed additive dalam ransum berupa tepung daun salam, daun pepaya, daun jambu biji dan tepung daun miana untuk melihat pengaruhnya terhadap performa broiler. Penelitian dilakukan selama 2 bulan yang dilakukan di Laboratorium Nutrisi dan Pakan Ternak dan di kandang broiler Laboratorium Produksi Ternak. Broiler yang digunakan  100 ekor umur satu hari. Pakan yang diberikan ransum adukan yang terdiri dari jagung, bungkil kedele, tepung ikan, tepung mie, minyak, top mix. Perlakuan yang diberikan adalah daun salam (Eugenia polyantha Wight), daun pepaya (Carica papaya Linn), daun jambu biji (Psidium Guava L)  dan  daun miana (Coleus scutellarioides) yang dijadikan tepung. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah  RAL, dengan  5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan, yaitu ransum adukan 100% sebagai kontrol (A), penambahan 0,5% tepung daun salam pada ransum adukan (B), penambahan 0,5% tepung daun pepaya pada ransum adukan (C), penambahan 0,5% tepung daun jambu biji pada ransum adukan (D) dan penambahan 0,5% tepung daun miana pada ransum adukan (E). Parameter penelitian adalah menghitung konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum.  Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa tanaman obat sebagai feed additive dalam ransum memberikan pengaruh yang  tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05) terhadap konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum.

Poultry products from such as broiler chicken usually contain residues because in the maintenance of chicken used medicinal ingredients, both to prevent disease and increase body weight. This study was aimed to determine the ability of pegagan plan (Centella asiatica) as natural feed additive to stimulate the body weight of chicken. The experiment was run in completely randomized design which consist of 4 feed treatments and 5 replications. Level used of A = without pegagan powder; B = 1.5% pegagan powder; C = 3% pegagan powder dan D = 4.5% pegagan powder. The result shown that body weight was significantly different (P < 0.05) but not for HI ND was no significantly different (P > 0.05). The higher of body weight of chicken shown in D parameter (level 4.5% pegagan powder) was 944.0 g. Pegagan influences a vasodilation to increase blood flow of chicken which has an impact on increasing body metabolism, so that it becomes an acceleration of body weight gain in broiler chickens.

Penelitian dengan memanfaatkan tepung daun pegagan sebagai feed additive dalam ransum broiler dilakukan untuk melihat pengaruhnya terhadap konsumsi ransum dan berat organ fisologis. Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium dan UPT Farm Politeknik Negeri Payakumbuh selama empat minggu, dengan menggunakan 100 ekor broiler yang dipelihara sejak DOC. Pakan yang diberikan berupa ransum basal dengan penambahan tepung daun pegagan. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah RAL dengan 4 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan, yaitu ransum basal 100% (A), ransum basal dengan penambahan 1,5% tepung daun pegagan (B), ransum basal dengan penambahan 3% tepung daun pegagan (C), ransum basal dengan penambahan tepung daun pegagan 4,5% (D). Variabel yang diukur adalah konsumsi ransum, persentase bobot hati dan jantung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pencampuran tepung daun pegagan dalam ransum sebagai feed additive tidak memberikan pengaruh yang berbeda nyata (P>0,5) terhadap konsumsi ransum, bobot hati dan jantung broiler.

This study aims to determine the prevalence of trematoda infection in the gastrointestinal tract in cattle at the Payakumbuh Livestock Market. The research was  conducted in August 2020. The method used was a survey using purposive sampling method. A total of 155 stool samples from the Paykumbuh Livestock Market were examined using floating and sedimentation method. Analyze the data in the form of qualitative descriptive analysis. The gastrointestinal flukes found were Fasciola sp and Paramphistomum sp. The most common fluke found was Fasciola sp. in cows is 16.15% and bulls is 12%. Infection with 1 species of fluke in 22.10% of cows and 16% of bulls. Infection with 2 species of fluke in 3.38% of cows and 4% of bulls. The prevalence of tapeworm infection in the 0-2 years old group was 23.61% and the >2 year old group was 20.48%.

Parascaris equorum is a species of the Ascarididae family which belongs to the phylum nematoda (roundworms) and is a type of parasite that affects equine health, performance, and production. The current study was carried out from April to August 2021 to determine the prevalence of equine Parascaris equorum in horses residing in Payakumbuh City, Indonesia. A total number of 128 fecal samples from horses were examined in the current study. Coprological examination was performed for the detection of Parascaris equorum eggs inside the amassed samples. The overall occurrence of Parascaris equorum was 14.06% (18 out of 128). The prevalence rates of sub-districts differed with the highest in East at 18.18% (8/44), followed by North, South, and West at 16.66% (6/36), 14.06% (2/22), and 7.7% (2/26), respectively. The obtained results indicated a significant difference in the prevalence rate of Parascaris equorum between males and females as well as those horses aged < 5 years (26.22%) and > 5 years (3%). Therefore, it is critical to not only enhance horse health management, maintenance, and health but also to provide anti-parasitic medications on a regular basis.
