Serangkaian penelitian dilakukan untuk menggantikan bungkil kedelai (SBM) dengan bungkil inti sawit (PKC) dalam ransum ayam petelur. Tahap pertama dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kandungan protein dan asam amino BIS melalui proses fermentasi dan dilanjutkan dengan penambahan enzim untuk meningkatkan kecernaan asam amino. Selanjutnya dilakukan uji biologis untuk mengetahui efektifitas PKC yang sudah difermentasi (FPKC) dan ditambahkan enzim (EFPKC) untuk menggantikan SBM didalam ransum ayam petelur. Nilai energy (AME) dari PKC, FPKC dan EFPKC diukur dengan menggunakan ayam broiler dan dilanjutkan dengan pengukuran nilai asam amino tercerna pada ileal (IAAD). Nilai AME dan IAAD dari EFPKC kemudian digunakan untuk meramu ransum penelitian. Ransum diberikan pada ayam petelur umur 51 minggu selama 8 minggu. Lima (5) jenis ransum disusun dengan kandungan gizi yang sama, tetapi SBM diganti dengan EFPKC secara bertingkat. Ransum perlakuan terdiri dari 1. Kontrol (tanpa EFPKC), 2. 25% SBM dalam ransum Kontrol diganti dengan EFPKC, 3. 50% SBM dalam ransum Kontrol diganti dengan EFPKC, 4. 75% SBM dalam ransum Kontrol diganti dengan EFPKC and 5. 100% of SBM dalam ransum Kontrol diganti dengan EFPKC. Setiap ransum perlakuan diberikan pada 24 ekor ayam (6 ulangan, 4 ekor/ulangan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fermentasi PKC meningkatkan protein kasar dan asam amino, kecuali threonin dan arginin, tetapi menurunkan AME. Penambahan enzim pada FPKC meningkatkan nilai IAAD. Akan tetapi hanya enzim BS4 yang dapat meningkatkan nilai AME pada EFPKC. Uji biologis menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 25 hingga 50% bungkil kedelai didalam ransum dapat diganti dengan bungkil inti sawit yang sudah difermentasi dan ditambahkan enzim tanpa meyebabkan gangguan yang berarti pada performan ayam petelur.

<p class="A-ISIABSTRAK">A study was conducted to explore the bioactive substances of some local plants in order to find their effectiveness as antioxidant, antibacteria and antifungi to be used as feed additives. Twelve plants material were used in this study. The total phenol, tannin and saponin contents in the plant extract were assayed. The extracts were also assayed on their antioxidant activities and on their ability to depress in vitro gas production of microbes obtained from chicken’s guts, their ability to inhibit growth of bacteria (E. coli and Salmonella enteridis) and fungi (A. niger). The results showed that the highest total phenol and total tannin contents were found in clove leaf extract, while the highest saponin content was found in Sapindus rarak fruit pericarp. The highest antioxidant activity was found in the leaffruit extract. Gas produced by microorganims was reduced to the level similar to antibiotic addition were found with addition of hexane- extract of leaffruit, kapok seed or methanol- extract of mangosteen fruit rind pulp or clove leaves. The best inhibitory effect on E. coli growth (measured by clearing zone) was found in methanol extract of S. rarak fruit. However, the most effective growth inhibitor for both E. coli and Salmonella was the liquid smoke of cashew nut shell. The best growth inhibitor for fungal growth was found in extract of clove leaves. Therefore, clove leaves extract (anti fungi), liquid smoke of cashew nut shell (antibacteria) and leaffruit (antioxidant) may have potential to produce feed additives to substitute antibiotic growth promoters.</p>

The use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) has been banned as feed additives in many countries, therefore the alternatives need to be found.  An in vitro experiment  was conducted to study the potential of combination of some plant extract to inhibit growth of pathogen bateria that normally occur in the poultry gastro intestinal tract.The combination of three plants bioactives (liquid smoke of cashew shells of Anacardium occidentaleor CLS, Phyllanthus niruri L. extract (EM), and Synzygium aromaticum extract (EDC) were formulated and evaluated for its effectiveness to inhibit growth of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. in vitro.The mixtures (KE) were then made in 3 different concentrations, i.e. 100 % KE, 50% KE, and 25% KE and studied their effectiveness to inhibit growth of E. coli or Salmonella sp. using microplate reader method. The results showed that the higher the concentration of the bioactive combination (KE100) the higher the ability to inhibit the growth of E. coli or Salmonella sp. The combination of bioactive substances CAM, EM, and EDC more effectively than Zn-bacitracin antibiotics to inhibit the growth of E. coli and Salmonella sp. The optimum concentration of KE with the similar effectiveness as the AGP was 25%. It was concluded that the combination of CAM, EM, and EDC was able to inhibit the growth of E. coli and even capable to eliminate the presence of Salmonella sp. In the biological assay, a combination of CAM, EM, and EDC either extract or powder form, high dose, medium or low does not affect the weight of the spleen, bursa fabricius, and blood profile. The best combination of CAM, EM, and EDC extracts to decreases the total bacterial population and E. coli was middle dose ie 0.0625% (extract) and 0.625% (powder). Likewise for live weight gain that was a good dose of extract or powder form can replace antibiotics. It was concluded that combinations of CAM, EM, and EDC had potential as a substitute for AGP in poultry feed, especially chickens.
