Pengaruh Probiotik Enterococcus faecium IS-27526 dan Minyak Ikan Lele (Clarias gariepinus) Dalam Biskuit Fungsional Yang Diperkaya dengan Tepung Ikan Lele dan Tepung Ubi Jalar (Ipomoea sp.) Terhadap Profil Mikrobiota Fekal Monyet Ekor Panjang (Macaca fascicularis) Betina Usia Tua

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of probiotic Enterococcus faecium IS-27526 and catfish ( Clarias gariepinus) oil in functional biscuit enriched with catfish flour and sweet potato (Ipomoea sp.) flour on fecal microbiota of aged monkey (Macaca fascicularis). There were 9 female aged Macaca fascicularis adapted for one month before the study, and divided into 3 groups, namely: control group, probiotic E. faecium IS-27526 group, and probiotic E. faecium IS-27526 and fish oil group. After 90 days administration, the fecal lactic acid bacteria in probiotic E. faecium IS-27526 group as well as probiotic E. faecium IS-27526 and fish oil group increased significantly (p < 0.05) as compared to the control group. The fecal coliform bacteria in probiotic E. faecium IS-27526 and fish oil group decreased significantly (p < 0.05) as compared to the control as well as probiotic E. faecium groups after 90 days.
