Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the effects of the probiotic consortium (Lactobacillus parabuchneri, Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus harbinensis, Schieferilactobacillus harbinensis and Lentilactobacillus parabuchner) isolated from fermented fish (budu) in Padang Pariaman Regency on the performance (weight gain, consumption of ration and ration conversion ratio) and carcass quality (carcass presented, crude fat, crude protein, cholesterol and cooking loss in meat) of broilers.Completely Randomized Design with 4 replications and 4 treatments was applied using 80 DOC (day-old-chicks).These chicks were divided into 16 cages, each cage having five chicks.The treatments in this study were: PO: control; P1: 0.5mL/L probiotic consortium in drinking water: P2: 1.0mL/L probiotic consortium in drinking water; P3: 1.5ml/L probiotic consortium in drinking water.The amount of probiotics of the consortium applied was 10 8 CFU/mL.The results revealed that broilers given probiotic consortium in drinking water exhibited significant differences (P<0.01) in their production performance and carcass quality compared to control.Based on these experiments, it was found that the use of 1.0ml/L (P2) of probiotic consortium in drinking water gave better results in terms of feed consumption (693.01g/head/week),body weight gain (409.21g/head/week),feed conversion ratio (1.69), carcass percentage (83.52%),meat fat (11.43%), meat proteins (25.69%), meat cholesterol (16.50mg/dL) and meat cooking loss (30.48%) than other treatments.In conclusion, the probiotic consortium (Lactobacillus parabuchneri, Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus harbinensis, Schieferilactobacillus harbinensis, and Lentilactobacillus parabuchneri) isolated from fermented fish (Budu), which contained 1x10 8 CFU/mL bacteria in the supplementation of 1.0mL/L in drinking water can improve the production performance and carcass quality of broiler chickens.
