Medicinal plants research as phytobiotics in poultry continues to be developed. Its aim to maintain body health so that it can produce good performance without relying on the use of antibiotic growth promoters which are often added to commercial animal feed. This study used various medicinal plants as phytobiotics in drinking using a CRD with 9 treatment and 3 replications. Parameters observed were feed intake (g/head), body weight gain (g/head) and feed conversion ratio. The treatment given was drinking water with: D0 (control), D1-D4 is boiled medicinal plant and D5-D8 is fermented medicinal plant of: Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa, Allium cepa, Allium sativum, Coriandrum sativum, Kaempferia galanga, Alpinia galanga, etc. The concentration of the active ingredient as phytobiotics in drinking water treatments given was 1.06%/L of broilers daily drinking water requirement. The results showed that the giving of various medicinal plants had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on all parameters research of 5 weeks. It can conclude that the best use of medicinal plants is to use garlic (Allium sativum) boiled (D1) because it is very effective in producing the low feed conversion value andhigh body weight gain compared to others treatments.
The chemical and physical quality of broiler breast meat usually be improved by soaking the meat in a solution of cooking spices, but in here, the spices is used a solution were given to drinking water. This study aims to know its effect on the pH value, water content, fat content, and cooking loss. The design of research used a CRD with 9 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment given was broiler drinking water with the addition of: K0 (control); K1-K4 as afermented and K5-K8 is a boiled of cooking spice solution. The total use of various cooking spice is 125 g/L of mixing water of the broilers daily drinking water needs. The result of Anova showed that the addition of cooking spice had a very significanteffect on the levels of pH, water content, fat content and cooking loss of broiler meat. It can be concluded that the use of cooking spices especially based on garlic and Kaempferia galanga can be used during broiler rearing as a feed additive to improve meat quality in drinking water because it is effective in reducing pH, water, fat content and cooking losses.
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.
