Abstract


In poultry production, antibiotic is one of common feed addittives being used
in order to improve growth and feed conversion. However uncontrolled use of
antibiotics would give negative effects to the consumers health. Indonesian herbal
medicines are very common to be used as human as well as animal medicines.
Turmeric (turmeric) and zingiber (zingiber) contain bioactive agents which can kill
microorganisms. Some previous experimental results showed that the use of turmeric
and zingiber meal in broiler diet, may improve feed efficiency, weight gain, carcass
and income over feed and chick cost (IOFCC).
