Total Bacteria and The Gram-Positive and Negative Bacteria of Small Intestines Broilers in Starter Period With Different Methods of Giving Probiotics

Abstract

Abstract The objective of the study was to evaluated total bacteria and the existence of positive and negative gram bacteria of small intestines broilers in starter period with different methods of giving probiotics Lactobacillus Sp. The completely randomized design with 4 treaments and 5 replications was used in the research. The treatments were T0 = Control without probiotics, T1 = Force feeding method, T2 = Giving Lactobacillus Sp. On Feed, T3 = Giving Lactobacillus Sp. on drinking Water. Data of bacteria population were evaluated by descriptive analysis. The Result showed that the total bacteria of small intestines broilers in starter period with given probiotics Lactobacillus Sp. (T1, T2 dan T3) were lower compared to control treatment. Most of the microbes of small intestines broilers in starter period with given probiotics Lactobacillus Sp. (T1, T2 dan T3) were Gram-positive rods, followed by Gram-positive cocci and Gram-positive duplococci, the gram-negative rods bacteria were founded at small intestines broilers in starter period with control treatments. The conclusion was the total bacteria at small intestines broilers in starter period with given probiotics Lactobacillus Sp. was decreased and there were positive gram bacteria, and suppress negative bacteria.
