Prebiotic is a nutrient for probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract of broilers. Prebiotics are used as a substitute for antibiotics in stimulating safer broiler growth. This study aims to determine the effect of prebiotics on broiler weight gain, the effect of prebiotics on the addition of metal ion combinations, and the effect of antibiotics when compared with controls. Prebiotic production is carried out using cassava peels as a substrate and Lactobacillus plantarum as an enzyme producer that acts as a catalyst. The cofactor used is a combination of metal ions K + and Mg 2+ . Prebiotic administration was carried out for 23 days with a volume of 1 mL/L as well as the determination of blood cholesterol levels in broilers. The results showed that the weight of broiler s given prebiotics was 1230.75 grams with blood cholesterol levels 143 mg/dL. At the control of 1079.5 grams with a blood cholesterol level of 255.5 mg/dL. Antibiotics amounted to 1120.75 grams with blood cholesterol levels of 178 mg/dL. In prebiotics, metal ions of 0.4 mM are added; 0.6 mM; and 0.8 mM in a row of 1254.25 grams; 1192 grams; and 1167.25 grams with blood cholesterol levels 131 mg/dL; 132 mg/dL; and 145.5 mg/dL. This study showed that prebiotic administration affected broiler weight gain and blood cholesterol levels.
