ABSTRACT
Probiotics are live microorganisms that can improve the health of humans or livestock by balancing the microflora in the digestive tract when consumed in sufficient quantities. Purple sweet potato has high effectiveness against LAB growth, namely 10,771 (log10 cfu/g) with 85.34% resistance be used as a medium for LAB growth. This study aims to determine the effect of probiotics Lactococcus plantarum and Pediococcus pentasaceus using a purple sweet potato carrier on laying hen’s performance and egg quality. This study used 210 layers of medium-type laying hens, Strain Isa Brown, 38 weeks old. The method used was an experiment with a completely randomized design (CRD) with seven treatments and three replications. The observed variables were ration consumption, ration conversion, egg mass production, hen day production (HDP), egg weight, shell thickness, and egg cholesterol. The results showed that supplementation of probiotics Lactococcus plantarum and Pediococcus pentasaceus using a purple sweet potato carrier at a dose of 2 grams could affect daily egg production, egg mass and reduce the value of ration conversion, shell thickness and egg cholesterol, but doses of 1 gram and 2 grams did not affect ration consumption and egg weight. It was concluded that the administration of the best LAB probiotics Lactococcus plantarum and Pediococcus pentasaceus with a dose of 2 grams.
