Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of garlic (Allium sativum Linn) and red ginger (Zingiber officinale var rubra) extract on the growth of broiler chickens were infected by Escherichia coli. The design used in this study was a complete randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 3 replications. Treatment consists of P0A = Control without infection; P0B = Control + E. coli infection; P1 = Infection E. coli + tetracycline antibiotics 0.05%; P2 = Infection E. coli + garlic extract (Allium sativum Linn) (1%); P3 = Infection E. coli + red ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var rubra) (1%); P4 = Infection E. coli + garlic (Allium sativum Linn) and red ginger (Zingiber officinale var rubra) extract (1%). The results showed that the effect of garlic and red ginger gave significant influence (P <0,05) to growth of broiler were infected by Escherichia coli. The combination of garlic (Allium sativum Linn) and red ginger (Zingiber officinale var rubra) extract has the highest influence of other activities. It was concluded that giving of garlic and red ginger extract give influence to growth of broiler were infected by Escherichia coli and can be used as alternative antibiotic.

Highlights

  • Broiler chickens are the most economical livestock when compared with other livestock, the advantages possessed is the speed of growth / meat production in a relatively quick and short time or about 4-5 weeks of meat production can be marketed or consumed

  • Charoen Pokphand Jaya Farm, KMnO4, rodalon, vitachick, ND vaccine, Gumboro vaccine, commercial feed, garlic (Allium sativum Linn), red ginger (Zingiber officinale var rubra), 96% ethanol, aquades, tetracycline antibiotics, bacterial isolates Escherichia coli obtained from the collection of Veterinary and Animal Health Center Medan

  • In the 3rd week after chickens were infected, the results showed that garlic extract and red ginger (P2, P3, P4) treatment were able to give the same effect as tetracycline antibiotic treatment (P1 treatment) and comparable to unadjusted broiler chicken (P0A), broiler chickens infected Escherichia coli without being treated in the form of extracts or antibiotics show the lowest average rate

Summary

Introduction

Broiler chickens are the most economical livestock when compared with other livestock, the advantages possessed is the speed of growth / meat production in a relatively quick and short time or about 4-5 weeks of meat production can be marketed or consumed. Most people refuse to buy livestock products that they know to use antibiotics or chemicals in the process. Because of the lack of attention to the rules of its use has been shown to result in the presence of antibiotic residues in livestock products and the development of resistant microbes in the body of cattle and the human body that consume them. Antibiotics are believed to suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria resulting in soaring beneficial bacterial populations in the digestive tract. Allicin compounds are known to have strong antibacterial properties. With this allicin the growth of germs can be inhibited and the subsequent process leads to the occurrence of pathogenic pathogens
