Abstract
ABSTRACT
Lamtoro leaves can be used as an alternative to anthelmintic because they contain secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, triterpenoids and steroids. This study aims to determine the better anthelmintic effectiveness between the infusion of simplicia, fresh and dry leaves of lamtoro (Leucanea leucocephala) against Ascaridia galli. A total of 75 samples of Ascaridia galli worms were taken from the indicated gastrointestinal tract of chickens. In this study the samples were grouped into five treatments consisting of one positive control group, one negative control group, three groups of infusion, namely simplicia, fresh leaves and dried lamtoro. Each treatment group included five Ascaridia galli worms then replicated three times to maintain reliability. Observations were made every 15 minutes for 600 minutes to see the number of worm deaths. Simplicia infusion has the best worm-killing effectiveness with 100% presentation with a mean time of 295 minutes followed by fresh leaf infusion which kills worms with 100% presentation with an average time of 480 minutes and finally dry leaf infusion has the lowest worm-killing effectiveness with 100% presentation with a mean time of 595 minutes. The three treatment interventions were no better than the positive control which was able to kill worms with 100% presentation with a mean time of 115 minutes.
