This study aims to investigate the effect of using various herbal plants in combination with fermentation treatment of silage on the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria. The research consisted of two main phases. The first phase included measuring the qualitative phytochemical profile and determining the lactic acid bacteria content of 7 different types of silage extract. The second phase involves quantitative phytochemical profiles and antioxidant capacity against pathogenic bacteria. Descriptive analysis method was used in this research. The research results showed that silage extract from Dracaena fragrans, Tithonia diversifolia, and Acanthus ilicifolius L leaves was the main choice because of its abundant lactic acid bacteria and phytochemical content. Dracaena fragrans silage extract, which contains flavonoids and tannins in amounts of 0.02 and 0.01 ml/100 mg, together with antioxidants of 926 ppm, is able to produce antibacterial compounds with a strong category for inhibiting pathogenic bacteria. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of Dracaena fragrans-based silage extract is able to provide strong inhibition against pathogenic bacteria based on its phytochemical, lactic acid bacteria and antioxidant content.References
