Abstract

aureus, teat dipping ABSTRACT. The using of papaya leaf dekok (Carica papaya L.) as a natural disinfectant for teat dipping is the one of methods that can be done to prevent mastitis in Etawa crossbreed goat. Papaya leaf dekok contains alkaloids, triterpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins and tannins that act as natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, so as to suppress the growth of Staphylococcus aureus which is the major bacteria that trigger udder inflammation (mastitis) for Etawa crossbreed goat. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four processes and four replicas. The replication in this study were 16 lactating Etawa crossbreed goat and their milk was taken as a sample. The treatment of this study consisted of P0= 10% povidone iodine, P1= 30% papaya leaf dekok, P2= 50% papaya leaf dekok and P3= 70% papaya leaf dekok. The parameter of study are pH value, total plate count (TPC) and the number of S. aureus in the Etawa crossbreed goat milk sample. The study showed that the use of papaya leaf dekok was not very significantly different (P>0,01) to maintain the values of pH (6,49 – 6,57), decrease the levels of TPC (1,794 x 10 6 – 0,034 x 10 6 ) and S. auerus colony (2,70 x 10 2 – 0,67 x 10 2 ) in the Etawa crossbreed goat milk sample. The conclusion of this study is that the use of papaya leaf dekok 70% (P3) as a teat dipping liquid is the best concentration treatment that has the same effect as leaf
