Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of using ginger, turmeric and teak leaf extracts in the form of nanoparticles on the total plate count of lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. in broiler chicken manure. 200 broiler chickens were divided into 5 groups allocated in a randomized block design with 5 treatments and 4 replications (10 broiler chickens per replication). Treatment consisted of control (T0) in the form of 100% commercial feed, (T1) in the form of the addition of 0.2% extract, (T2) in the form of the addition of 0.4% extract, (T3) in the form of the addition of 0.6% extract, and (T4) in the form of adding 0.8% extract. This research began with the extract making stage, nanoparticle synthesis stage, data collection and analysis. Samples of feed given, the amount of feed given, the remaining amount of feed given from each animal replication were recorded every day for data collection. Data from this study were tabulated using the Microsoft Excel software program. Data were subjected to ANOVA and followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test at 5% level. The results of the study showed that giving feed additives from ginger, turmeric and teak leaf extracts in the form of nanoparticles had a significant effect (P<0.05) on increasing the Lactobacillus population, reducing the population of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. In conclusion, giving feed additives from ginger, turmeric and teak leaf extracts in the form of nanoparticles up to 0.8% increased the population of lactic acid bacteria, reducing Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
