EFEKTIVITAS BAWANG PUTIH (Allium sativum L)
UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETAHANAN TUBUH IKAN MAS (Cyprinus carpio L) TERHADAP PENYAKIT
Motile Aeromonas Septicemia
The aim of the research ware to investigate and discover the effectiveness of fresh
Lumbu hijau (type of garlic) given by ten-minute immersion and Kating (type of garlic)
extract mixed with feed in enhancing common carp�s immunity against Motile Aeromonas
Septicemia. The research results showed that Kating was the most highly effective in
inhibiting the growth of A. hydrophila in comparison with the other type of garlic. The
inhibition diameter of the garlic against A. hydrophila was 17.00±20.00 mm.
A test of the active components of Kating using the spectrometrical chromatography
method (GC-MS) detected as many as 13 components, one of which was diallyl
disulfide with antimicrobial activity found with area of 16.95%, whereas a test using thinlayered
chromatography detected saponin with antimicrobial activity.
A minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test of a squeeze of Lumbu hijau on
A. hydrophila showed a minimum concentration of 6.13-3.63% (61,300 ppm-36,300
ppm). The LC50 the garlic on common carp immersed for ten minutes was 4,913.99 ppm
whereas 24-hour immersion gave a LC50 of 846.75 ppm.
Research for preventing and curing MAS by ten-minute immersion was conducted
four times in four days interval. A completely random design in triplicate (10
fishes/replication) was use in this experiment. The doses administered were : P0, P1
(1.000 ppm), P2 (2.000 pm) and P3 (3.000 ppm). At the end of the research, the fish were
intraperitoneally infected with A. hydrophila with a density of 108 cell/ml in a dose of 0.1
ml/fish. The research result demonstrated that the survival rate of fish immersed in a
squeeze of Lumbu hijau was higher than that of the control group (P<0,05). The best dose
to encrease the survival rate by ten-minute immersion was 1826 ppm.
Treatment by ten-minute immersion was not effective as the survival rate of
treated fish was lower than that of the control (P>0,05) because the MIC value was
greater than the LC50 value. Pathological changes occurred on the epidermis : the skin
underwent erosion, hemorrhage, and degeneratio
