The Application of Asterales (Chromolaena odorata L). Leaves on the Feed for Disease Prevention in Tiger Shrimp Cultivation (Penaeus monodon fabricius) in Pond
Author(s): Harlina Harlina*, Andi Gusti Tantu, Rosmiati Rosmiati and Kamarudin Kamaruddin
One of the natural materials that need to be evaluated as the natural anti-bacterial in the pond is Asterales leaves
(Chromolaena odorata L.). Asterales leaves contain quite high flavonoid which is important in disease prevention
of tiger shrimp cultivation. This study aims to evaluate the addition of Asterales leaf flour on the feed towards
the growth, survival rate, FCR and usage potential for disease prevention of shrimp cultivation. The study was
designed using treatments given artificial feed containing Asterales leaves at an optimum dose of 15 g/kg of feed
and control (feed without the provision of Asterales leaves). Test animals used were PL-20 fry with an average
weight of 0.02 + 0.02 g/head. The study used 4 ponds measuring 0.4 ha (2 plots) and 0.5 ha (2 plots) with a
stocking density of 10 heads/m2 so that each 40,000 heads were 0.4 ha ponds and 50,000 h.. View more»
