ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the effect of herbal spray extract of moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam) and betel leaves (Piper betle Linn) on healing wounds in dairy cattle and determine the herbal spray’s compounds. This study was conducted in August 2022, located in Cendana District, Enrekang Regency. The study method was a completely randomized design (CRD). The variables observed were the measurement of wound area (cm), wound drying time (days), wound healing time (days), the content of saponins (exist/not exist), tannins (%), flavonoids (ppm), and pH on herbal sprays. The results revealed that the measurement of wound area in dairy cattle after herbal sprays at P0=0.66 cm, P1=2.22 cm, P2=0.06 cm, and P3=0.00 cm; wound drying time was faster at P0=11 days, P1=9 days, P2=8 days, and P3=5 days; and significantly faster wound healing time at P0=14 days, P1=12 days, P2=11 days, and P3=10 days. The compounds of the herbal spray, saponins at P0 = Not exist, P1 = Exist, P2 = Exist, and P3 = Exist; tannin content at P0=0.00%, P1=1.11%, P2=1.12%, and P3=1.27%; flavonoid content at P0 = 0.00 ppm, P1 = 276.74 ppm, P2 = 288.43 ppm, and P3 = 292.97 ppm, and for pH values at P0 = 7.50, P1 = 5.74, P2 = 5 .69, and P3 = 5.62. It can be concluded that the best treatment in this study was P3 with a concentration of 50 ml of moringa leaves extract and 30 ml of betel leaves extract.
