| Summary: | <p>Flies are well known as vector that has an important role in transferring pathogen microbes to broilers. Various tropical plants, as well as <em>Cymbopogon </em>spp. possess a large potential in controlling the activities of this flies. This research was aimed to determine the effect of citronella oils extracted from <em>Cymbopogon nardus </em>L on <em>Musca domestica</em> L.<em> </em>(Diptera: Muscidae) activities in ration surface and also to study the effect of COE in ration on broiler performances. Three treatment levels of EMC were 0%, 0.25%, and 0.5% and added in broilers ration experimental. The research was designed by using randomized experimental design. The parameters measured were: proportion of physical contact frequency (PCF), feed consumption, and body weight gain. The results showed that the treatment levels of COE of <em>C. nardus</em> significantly influenced (F<sub>2,48 </sub>= 38,456, P=0,000) PCF of <em>M. domestica</em>, while the levels of COE were significantly influencing (F<sub>2,36</sub> = 51,178, P = 0,000) the feed consumption and body weight gain of broilers (F<sub>2,36</sub> = 81,969, P=0,000). This research revealed that the levels of COE of <em>C. nardus</em> were able to decrease PCF value of <em>M. domestica </em>in ration while the treatments increased feed consumption and body gain values of broilers. We concluded that EMC of <em>C. nardus </em>L up to 0.5% can function as bio-repellent to the <em>M. domestica </em>activities on broiler ration and cause a positive effect to the consumption and to the body gains of chickens broilers.</p> |
