ANTIBACTERIAL of ETHANOL EXTRACT (Muntingia calabura L.) AGAINST Streptococcus agalactiae as CAUSE SUBCLINICAL MASTITIS in DAIRY COWS

A research on the antibacterial ability of ethanol extract (Muntingia calabura L.) and its concentration effect on bacteria Streptococcus agalactiae growth was investigated in this experiment. Several tests were conducted by the inhibition of diffusion Kirby-Bauer method using a Completely Randomized Design with 6 treatments and 4 replication. Ethanol extract concentrations were varied into 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and water extract 20% and Iodips 10% (as control). The research showed that ethanol extract (Muntingia calabura L.) had ability to hinder significantly the growth of Streptococcus agalactiae bacteria (P
