Nur Inayah, Application Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) Prebiotic to Eliminate the Growth of Patogen Bacteria in Chicken Livestock (DOC and broiler), Makassar (Counselor: Ir.Irwan Sofia,M.Si and Ir.Hastami Murdiningsih,M.T)

A prebiotic is a non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon, and thus improve host health. Unique the action mechanism and ability replaceds good antibiotic in also as incentive grows assumed equal with antibiotic. One of the prebiotik that proved and often used Fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Benefit from consumption FOS can increase population bifidobacteria in intestines. With this bacteria total enhanced can inhibition bacteria growth pathogen that harm.
This research aimed at determining FOS effectivity as prebiotic and the maximal concentration of FOS. In this research the effectivity of FOS as prebiotic at chicken livestock is done by giving FOS into chicken drinking water during 30 days. FOS prebiotic Effectivity was done with concentration FOS variation 1, 2, 3, and 4% (w/v). FOS prebiotic Effectivity in reducing the growth of pathogen colony bacteria (Salmonella sp, Escherichia Coli, and Clostridia sp) done with analyze feces chicken with Total Plate Count (TPC) method and biochemistry test. FOS prebiotic Effectivity increase livestock chicken growth is known with weigh heavy body according to periodically. Result that got then compared with control chicken (without gift FOS).
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) have also been examined for pathogens inhibition, and concentration best used 4%(w/v) where on 20 day already not happen again the growth patogen colony bacteria. Gift prebiotik FOS can also give heavy when be compared with control chicken. Chicken livestock average heavy that is given fos above 1300 g, while the average heavy control chicken 1120 g.
