Abstract

This study was aimed to observe the effect of the mixture of probiotics of Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus cereus in water on body weight, weekly body gain, and carcass weight of male Magelang Duck aged 50 days from DOD. This study used a combination of the various percentage of probiotic Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus cereus in the liquid form given administered in the water of male Magelang duck kept in 50 days. The treatments in the study were P0: no probiotic administration, P1: 100% Streptococcus thermophilus, P2: 75% Bacillus cereus + 25% Streptococcus thermophilus, P3: 50% Bacillus cereus + 50% Streptococcus thermophilus, P4: 25% Bacillus cereus + 75% Streptococcus thermophilus and P5: 100% Bacillus cereus. The method used in this study was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) by 6 treatments and 4 repetitions which flock unit contained 4 male Magelang Ducks. Data from the study were analyzed using ANOVA, and if the results were significant, the results would be analyzed using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The analysis results showed that administering a mixture of Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus cereus in various percentages did not significantly affect body weight, weekly body gain, and carcass weight of male Magelang Duck. It is concluded that the administration of a mixture probiotic of Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus cereus in water did not yet capable of increasing body weight, weekly body gain, and carcass weight of male Magelang Duck on 50 days kept.
