Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving herbal solutions [betel and binahong] on the performance of male laying chickens. The materials used were 96 male chickens aged 2 weeks. Completely Randomized Design [CRD] with four treatments and six replications were used in this research. The treatments were: R0: drinking water without betel and binahong leaf solution, R1: Drinking water + 20 ml betel leaf solution/l , R2: drinking water + 20 ml binahong leaf solution/l, R3: drinking water + a combination of 10 ml of betel leaf and binahong solution/l. The variables measured were feed intake, water intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio. The results of the study showed that the treatments had no significant effect [P>0.05] on all observed variables. Thus it can be concluded that the administration of  of betel  and binahong leafs solution with a level of 20 ml/l  and their 10% combination in drinking water has not been able to improve the performance of male laying chickens.
