Methodology: Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 2 was isolated from broiler faeces. The microbe count was 1.310 8 CFU gG 1 . The treatments in this study consisted of the following groups, P0: Without administration of the probiotic, P1: With the administration of 0.01% zinc bacitracin antibiotic, P2: With the administration of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 2 probiotic at a dose of 0.5% (6.510 8 CFU kgG 1 ), P3: With the administration of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 2 probiotic at a dose of 1% (1.310 9 CFU kgG 1 ) and P4: With the administration of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 2 probiotic at a dose of 1.5% (1.9510 9 CFU kgG 1 ). Results: This study showed that administration of the LAB Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 2 with a 0.5% (6.510 8 CFU kgG 1 ), 1% (1.310 9 CFU kgG 1 ) and 1.5% (1.9510 9 CFU kgG 1 ) dose did not influence abdominal fat content, however, probiotic administration reduced cholesterol in breast meat and thigh meat and reduced fat in breast meat compared to the antibiotic and control treatments. Administration of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 2 probiotic at a 1.5% dose (1.9510 9 CFU kgG 1 ) resulted in a higher percentage of carcass and lower percentage of thigh meat cholesterol compared to the 0.5% (6.510 8 CFU kgG 1 ) and 1% (1.310 9 CFU kgG 1 ) doses. Conclusion: The administration of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 2 did not affect abdominal fat content but reduced breast meat cholesterol and thigh meat cholesterol. The 1.5% dose (1.95109 CFU kgG 1 ) produced a higher percentage of carcass and lower thigh meat cholesterol than did the other doses. ## Keywords - Lactococcus lactis - Probiotic - Food science - Abdominal fat - Biology - Cholesterol - Microbiology - Lactic acid - Bacteria - Endocrinology - Body weight - Genetics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
