Abstract

Sauropus androgynous contain chemical compounds that can increase the growth of tiger prawn. This study aims to determine the growth of tiger prawns after giv- ing S. androgynous leaves ethanol extract mixed in feed. The research method uses a completely randomized design (CRD) 4 treatments, three replications. Treatment with a dose of Treatment 1 (T1) Control without giving S. androgynous extract, Treatment 2 (T2) 5 gr/kg of feed, Treatment 3 (T3) 50 gr/kg of feed, Treatment 4 (T4) 100 gr/kg of feed. Proximate test results of S. androgynous extract crude pro- tein content of 10.83%, crude fiber 1.87%, crude fat 0.85%, ash content 1.94%, dry weight 93.62%, and extract material without nitrogen 78.13%. Based on the results of the study, the weight growth and growth length statistically showed significantly different (P < 0.05). The highest growth of tiger prawn at the end of the study was found in P4 by giving S. androgynous leaf extract with an average weight growth value (70.18 ± 9.57 g). While the lowest weight growth was observed in T1 with  an average weight growth value (32.62 ± 7.54 g). The highest length growth was found in T4 with average length (1.19 ± 0.10 cm), while the lowest length growth was seen in T1 with average length growth (0.62 ± 0.09 cm).
