TOTAL ESCHERICHIA COLI IN BROILER FECES AT VARIOUS AGES IN BADUNG REGENCY

Broiler chickens are quality meat-producing chickens and are known to the public with various advantages, feces are a food process accompanied by urine and undigested food residues.

The analysis of the data into the Y log before being analyzed to see the number of differences in the number of E. coli bacteria is carried out by variety analysis, if there is a real difference (P<0.05) then it is continued with the Duncan Multiple Distance test. The total research results of Escherichia coli bacteria are 8,973 in the evening of 1-21 days and 8,640 in the evening of 22-35 days and 8,640 in Mengwi District and 8,640 in 1-21 days and 8,640 in 22-35 days and 8,536 in Abiansemal District at the age of 1-21 days and 8,536 in 22-35 days.
