Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to know the economics analysis in layers infected by Escherichia coli, which used Meniran Extract (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) as alternate Antibiotic Growth Promoter (AGP) to egg quality. About 50 layers at 20 weeks of age were completely randomized into five treatments with two factors, each treatment consisted of five replications with non-infectious factor and infectious factor. The treatments were T0, T0+, T1, T2, and T3 containing standard feed, standard feed with 0,01 gram AGP/kg feed, standard feed with 10% Meniran Extract/kg feed, standard feed with 20% Meniran Extract/kg feed, and standard feed with 30% Meniran Extract/kg. The infection consisted of Escherichia coli 108 CFU/gram given to each layer about 1 ml/kg of weight. The results in two ways Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) 5% showed that there were insignificant differences among the treatments (P<0.05) and factors (P<0.05). In both factors, the lowest egg quality was T3 which has 55.7 grams of
weight, 76.24 of Haugh Unit Index, 0.36 of Yolk Index, 0.09 of Albumen Index, and Yolk colour about 8.20. The highest egg quality was T2 which has 63.21 grams of weight, 90.59 of Haugh Unit Index, 0.41 of Yolk Index, 0.11 of Albumen Index, and Yolk colour about 9.60. All treatments showed good economics analysis, which had the best result in Benefit Cost Ratio, which has a score about 1.51-1.60. It can be concluded that we can give 20% Meniran Extract/kg feed to get the best egg quality and profit that can replace AGP.
