Abstract

Gapoktan Jali Jaya is one of the facilities for farmer activities in Talang Jali Village, North Kotabumi District, North Lampung. The use of chemical pesticides is common among farmers, especially in the Jali Jaya Gapoktan. Even though the price is expensive, farmers still use it, because the response to pests is faster. There are several alternatives to replace chemical pesticides, namely the application of Biopesticide. Studies have been carried out that natural products come from plants with groups of secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds such as phenolics, alkaloids, terpenoids and other secondary chemicals so that they can control OPT (Plant Pest Organisms). The aim of training on the manufacture and use of biopesticides is to increase public awareness of how important it is to have healthy plants, protected from pests and not damaging the environment. This service activity is carried out through evaluation, preparation, training and implementation stages. Direct training and practical methods are used in its implementation. The results of the lecturer's community service activities were that Gapoktan members, the majority of whom were farmers, were very enthusiastic about taking part in the training and making biopesticides and participated in the activities until completion. Participants also helped practice making biopesticides using choppers and putting the ingredients into drums. Farmers' knowledge increased about biopesticide applications and 50% of participants used biopesticides to protect cultivated plants from pest attacks, especially insects.

Abstract

Optimal livestock productivity is highly dependent on feed efficiency and the maintained animal health status. The use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) has been strictly limited due to the risk of antimicrobial resistance, making natural alternatives crucial for the modern livestock industry. Centella asiatica, a medicinal plant widely recognized for its bioactive compounds, offers significant potential for application in animal nutrition. This plant is rich in triterpenoids, saponins, and flavonoids, which possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that collectively influence livestock metabolism and performance. This study aims to evaluate the potential and effectiveness of Centella asiatica as a feed additive in enhancing feed intake and growth performance across various livestock species. A systematic review was conducted on scientific publications from 2016 to 2026, accessed through online databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, focusing on the effects of Centella asiatica supplementation on livestock productivity parameters. The results of this review indicate that the inclusion of Centella asiatica in feed rations can improve feed intake, enhance nutrient utilization, and boost growth performance. Furthermore, its bioactive compounds contribute to improved gut health and immune response, which indirectly support superior growth outcomes. Several studies reported that the inclusion of Centella asiatica at optimal levels results in increased body weight gain and improved feed efficiency. In conclusion, Centella asiatica represents an effective natural approach to enhancing growth performance and feed efficiency, making it a highly relevant application in sustainable and antibiotic-free livestock production systems.
