The aim of the study was to know the effect of Curcuma xanthorhiza as herbal feed additive in the rations on dry matter consumption, body weight gain, feed efficiency and feed cost pergain of Simmental cross cattle. The research was conducted at PGS. Joe Cipir Jati Indah Village, Tanjung Bintang District, South Lampung Regency. The experimental used 12 male Simmental Cross Cattle with an average body weight of 166.25 ± 6.27 kg. The study used a quantitative method with a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 4 replications. They were fed a complete feeding with control rations + 0% temulawak flour (P0), control ration + 1.5% temulawak flour (P1) and control ration + 3% temulawak flour (P2). The control ration is the usual ration given by farmers every day containing 8.35% crude protein and 59.63% TDN. The study was conducted for 5 weeks, 1 week period of adaptation and 4 weeks period of data collection. The results showed that the addition of temulawak flour had a significant effect (P
Abtract Many Indonesian people do self-medication as an attempt to treat complaints / pain they experience, the benefit of self-medication is safe when used according to the rules, effective for eliminating complaints, cost efficiency, can play a role in making therapeutic decisions, self-medication is usually done to overcome complaints and minor illnesses that are often experienced by people, such as fever, pain, dizziness, cough, influenza, ulcers, intestinal worms, diarrhea, skin diseases and others. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and behavior towards the use of influenza drugs and cough by self-medication in Muara Burnai I Village, Ogan Komering Ilir district. The research analyzed was descriptive observational. The sampling technique uses the accindental sampling method. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. The results of the analysis of the level of knowledge and behavior analysis showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and the behavior of influenza drug use and cough by self-medication was analyzed using the Chi-Square test sample of 100 respondents. The results of this study indicate that 36% have high knowledge and 64% have low knowledge in self-influencing and cough swamedication while 43% have high behavior and 57% have low behavior in influenza and cough swamedication in Muara Burnai I Village, Ogan Komering Ilir District. Based on the Chi-Square test results showed that the value of p = 0,000 (0.05). Shows that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and swamedication behavior in Muara Burnai I Village, Ogan Komering Ilir district. Keywords : Influenza and cough, drug use behavior, swamedication, knowledge level.
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle) and green betel (Piper betle L.) plants are native to Indonesia. Empirically betel leaf can be used as a wound healer, lemongrass leaves are widely used as medicine for insect bites. On the basis of information obtained from various literatures, in this research has been done formulation of ointment from extract combination of lemongrass, green betel leaf and natural zeolite as antibacterial of Staphylococcus aureus. The use of zeolites based on features has a three-dimensional framework structure that is interconnected so that it has a large surface. Based on these reasons, it is believed that zeolites can increase the activity of active substances in ointments. The formulation of ointment extracts of lemongrass leaves-green betel leaves and zeolites with various dosages are KZ (zeolite control), KE (20% -5%), F1 (10% -6% + zeolite), F2 (20% - 5% + zeolite), F3 (30% -4% + zeolite), F4 (20% -0% + zeolite), F5 (0% -5% + zeolite) with a fixed amount of zeolite (2 gr). Evaluation of ointment preparations including organoleptic test, pH, homogeneity, spreading test and adhesion test showed results that met the requirements. The sample was tested for antibacterial activity with positive control (gentamicin 0.1%) showed that all formulas can provide an inhibition zone against staphylococcus aureus, except KZ. Test results were analyzed using One Way Annova with sig (0,000) <p value (0,050) followed by Tukey's further tests. From this explanation it can be concluded that the formulation of ointment from extract combination of lemongrass leaves, green betel leaves and zeolites has antibacterial agent.
The aim of this research was to determine the median lethal dose of sesamum indicum seeds in Wistar rats. Methods: Twelve Wistar rats within the ages of five to six weeks and of weights, ranging from (98-160) g of both sexes were used for the experiment. They were categorized into two phases of I and II. Phase I consisted three (3) groups of three (3) animals each. While phase II consisted three (3) groups of one (1) animal each. The phase I group was orogastrically intubated with (10, 100 and 1000) mg/kg body weight of ethanolic extract of sesamum indicum seeds respectively with the aid of a 2ml syringe with an intubation needle of size 24 mounted on it. The animals in phase II were similarly administered 1600, 2900 and 5000mg/kg body weights of the extract respectively and observed for one hour and ten minutes after every two hours for twenty four hours. Result: No mortality or any physical signs of toxicity were observed in any of the groups. Conclusion: The LD50 of ethanolic extract of sesamum indicum seeds is above 5000mg/kg body weight in adult Wistar rats.
Maja (Crescentia cujete L) is a plant that has medicinal properties for various diseases. Leaves of Maja contain some compounds such which are thought to have the potential to be antibacterial. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of maja leaf extract in cream dosage form and to prove the presence of Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The cream of Maja leaf extract was made into several formulations; (5, 10, 15 %) The results was the cream of Maja leaf extract was able to inhibit the growth of S. aureus with the largest inhibition zone at a concentration of 15% with an average of 11.52 ± 0.95mm. Cream formulations were evaluated physically; organoleptic was resulting F1 in brownish-green, F2 in brown, and F3 in dark brown. Homogeneity tests show that all formulations were homogeneous. The pH value of all formulations following the cosmetic standard was about 4.5 – 6.5. The standard viscosity value was between 2000 – 4000 cps. The stability test of cream preparations shows no changes in the form of low-temperature storage (4ºC), room temperature, and high temperature (40ºC), so that maja leaf extracts can be formulated in cream preparations and cream formulations
