Abstract
Using antibiotics as a feed additive made residues in broiler’s carcass. If meat’s chicken being consumed, it made some worry about antibiotic resistance, so it should required feed additive non antibiotic which made from the natural materials (herbs), such as coriander. By using natural materials (herbs), made some benefits and advantages as well as being an alternative to antibiotics. Broiler chickens fed diets containing 0%, 2% and 2% roasted coriander with three replications. This research was conducted for five weeks. First week until third week was starter phase and fourth week and fifth week was the finisher phase. Variables observed in this research were body weight, body weight gain, consumption, feed conversion and mortality. The results of research on weight loss phase of starter looks significantly different (P<0.01), and for body weight gain, consumption, and feed conversion were significantly different (P<0.05). For the finisher phase of weight gain and increase body weight looked significantly different (P<0.05) and significantly different (p<0.01), except for consumption and feed conversion did not look significantly different (p>0.01). This result indicated that the addition of 2% toasted coriander seeds can not be used for the finisher phase.
