Abstract

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum (0,25×106) and Lactobacillus casei (1,62×106) in production performance of broiler chicken. 150 DOC divided into 4 treatments: control (P1), probiotic in the sweet potato (P2), dates (P3), and tempe (fermented soybean cake/FSC) (P4) for 28 days. The result show that probiotic addition in broiler chicken have no significant effect on feed intake, body weight, and feed conversion rate in the 1st – 3rd week. However, feed conversion ratio on 4th week have significant effect. It could be concluded that probiotic Lactobacilus plantarum and Lactobacilus casei in infusion of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas), dates (Phoenix dactylifera) supported a production performance for broiler chicken, due to its effect as growth promotor and immunomodulator.
