Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of curcuma extract addition in artificial feed on growth and immunity of juvenile tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). The research material used was juvenile tiger shrimp at PL30 size. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, they are: without the addition of curcuma extract (A), addition of 1 mL of curcuma extract (B), addition of 1.5 mL of curcuma extract (C), addition of 2 mL of curcuma extract (D), addition of 2.5 mL of curcuma extract (E). On the 21st day a challenge test for Vibrio sp. bacteria was carried out with a concentration of LC 50. The results of the study showed that the addition of immuno stimulants gave a significant effect on the survival rate. The highest value to the lowest value was B treatment was 90.00 ± 3.33%; C treatment was 88.89 ± 1.92%; D treatment was 80.00 ± 3.33%; E treatment was 77.78 ± 1.92% and A treatment was 54.44 ± 3.85%.
