Probiotic concentration 109cell/mL administered through drinking water every day while of temulawak extract dose 0.25 g/L 0.50 g/Lonce a week, for five weeks. The variables measured were Salmonella sp populations and blood cholesterollevels. The results showed that combination administered of probiotics with temulawak dose 0.50 g/Ldecreased of population of Salmonella amount to 87.04% and decreased of blood cholesterol amount21,48% at administered of probiotics with temulawak dose 0,25 g/L. The conclusions of this study showedthat the percentage decrease of Salmonella sp population and blood cholesterol levels in combinationprobiotic and temulawak supplementation so that broiler produced is safe for consumption.
