Pemberian Tepung Cacing Tanah (Lumbricus rubellus) terhadap Jumlah Populasi Bakteri Salmonella sp. pada Usus Halus Ayam Kampung Super yang di Infeksi Salmonella sp

Abstract

Salmonellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease. Giving antibiotics to control this disease can result in residues so that microbes become resistant. This study aims to determine the ability of earthworm flour (Lumbricus rubellus) in controlling the growth of Salmonella sp. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and six replications. The treatment composed of control (P0), infection without antibiotics (P1), infection + Trimezyn-S (P2), infection + 50 mg earthworm meal (P3), and infection + 100 mg earthworm flour (P4). The results showed that 100 mg earthworm flour (P4) can decreased the growth of Salmonella sp population in super chickens infected with Salmonella sp and could replace the use of antibiotics
