Abstract
    Mangosteen peel extract supplemented with Zn and Cu (MPEm) minerals can be used as a feed for herbal supplements to replace antibiotics for poultry because it contains xanthone, which functions as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of adding mineralized mangosteen peel extract in the ration on the performance and histological impact of sentul chicken intestines. This study used 100 DOC Sentul chickens, with a completely randomized design of five treatments and four replications. The ration treatments used were P0 (control without MPEm), P1 (control + 60 MPEm / kg ration), P2 (control + 120 mg MPEm / kg ration), P3 (control +180 mg MPEm / kg ration), and P4 (control +240 mg MPEm / kg ration), given to Sentul chickens up to 12 weeks of age adlibitum. The variables observed were growth performance (feed consumption, final weight, ration conversion) and the impact on chicken intestinal histology. The results of statistical analysis showed the effect of treatment had a significant effect on body weight and ration coversion and histological condition of Sentul chicken intestines. Conclusion This study shows the addition of MPEm until 180 mg MPEm / kg ration has a positive impact on the performance of Sentul chickens and can be used as an alternative to antibiotics in the poultry sector.
