Efektifitas Daun Kersen (Muntinga calabura L.) dalam Menurunkan Jumlah Bakteri dalam Susu dan Peradangan Pada Ambing Sapi Perah
Abstract: Indonesia has a huge
potency of medical plants. However the utilization for livestock health and
production are limited. A research was conducted to determine the efficacy of
Muntinga calabura L. leaves to reduce bacterial population in milk using
postmilking teat dip method with Muntinga calabura leaves solution in the
concentration of 20%, 30% and 40%. The degree of mammary inflammation was
observed using California Mastitis Test (CMT). The result showed that the
bacterial population in milk were reduced by 79.36%, 71.12% and 73.84% with
Muntinga calabura solution (in the concentration of 20%, 30% and 40%,
respectively). The bacterial counts among the treatment groups were similar
(P>0.05). Compared with synthetic antiseptic povidone iodine, the reduction
of bacterial population in milk did not differ (P>0.05) with the Muntinga
calabura groups. Postmilking teat dip using povidone iodine reduced bacterial
population in milk by 79.36%. Moreover, the CMT reading were decrease by
39.96%, 34.76% and 31.15% in the Muntinga calabura groups (solution
concentration of 20%, 30% and 40% respectively). The CMT results of Muntinga
calabura groups were comparable (P>0.05) with iodine group (35.16%). In
conclusion, our results indicated that Muntinga calabura leaf can be use as an
alternative teat dip antiseptic to reduce bacterial population in milk and it
can be use for sub clinical mastitis treatment.
