The Effect of Ration with Antibiotics (Virginiamycin) and Temulawak (Curcuma Xanthorriza Roxb.) to Broiler Performances

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to learn about the effect of Virginiamycin and Temulawak addition to performance. The research used 100 broiler chickens from Cobb CP 707 strain. The research used Completely Randomized Design (RAL-Rancangan Acak Lengkap) with four treatments. R0: Control,; R1: ration with 15 ppm Virginiamycin; R2: ration with 9% Temulawak; R3: ration with 15 ppm Virginiamycin and 9% Temulawak. Duncan’s Multiple Range Test is used to indicate the difference between treatments. Variable being observed is performance and income over feed cost. The results of the research showed that temulawak and virginiamycin addition does not provide significant difference on final body weight and carcass weight.
