Abstract:
The research purpose was to determine the utilization of bay meal (SyzygiumpolyanthumWalp)
microflora, and carcass quality of broiler. The research method was used completely
randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates. The materials used for this research were
80 unsex 15 days old with average body weight 307.725±22.17 g/head. The treatments used for
research were dietary with T0 (basal feed), T1 (basal feed + 1% bay leaf meal), T2 (basal feed +
2% bay leaf meal), T3 (basal feed + 3% bay leaf meal), T4 (basal feed + 4% bay leaf meal). The
parameters observed were intestinal characteristic bacteria (lactic acid bacteria, Escherichia
coli, and Salmonella sp.) and (carcass percentage, abdominal fat, organ visceral weight, breast
meat cholesterol). The data analysis was the analysis of variance (anova) and continued by
Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that using bay leaf effect as in feed has
significant difference (P<0.05) on lactic acid bacteria and Escherichia coli and significantly
different (P<0.01) (breast meat cholesterol) but didn’t significant difference (P>0.05) on carcass
percentage, abdominal fat and organ visceral weight. The addition of 4% bay leaf gave the best
effect on microflora, and breast cholesterol quality of broiler.

1. Introduction
Broiler play an important role in supporting the availability of cheap animal protein sources that
are easy to obtain in Indonesia. Generally, broiler rising with the selecting breed, and regularly
feed that affected to the profitable. The productivity of broiler is depend on the feed consumption,
body weight, and feed conversion Natsir et al., (2012). Feed cost contributes 60-80% of production
cost in a common broiler farm. Effort to improve feed efficiency in order to reduce feed cost should
be achieved by the used of feed additive Natsir et al., (2013). Nowadays, proportion of feed
removed in feed antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) following pressure from the antibiotics.
According to the problem the used of bayleaf as phytobiotics could be used to serve as feed
additives in according to the suitability and preference, lower cost of production, reduced risk of
toxicity, minimum health hazards and environment friendliness. One of the feed additives
currently under investigation is bay leaf (SyzygiumpolyanthumWalp).
