This study aims to determine the effect and the best dose of Indian Pluchea leaf extract on artificial feed on the growth performance and survival rate of Vanname. The sample of this study was shrimp aged PL 21 obtained from shrimp farmers in Pekalongan. The study employed an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 (four) treatments with 3 (three) replications, A (Indian Pluchea leaf extract of 0 ml/kg feed), B (Indian Pluchea leaf extract 5 ml/kg feed), C (Indian Pluchea leaf extract 10 ml/kg feed), D (Indian Pluchea leaf extract 15 ml/kg feed). The addition of Indian Pluchea leaf extracts to feed had a very significant effect on the growth of vanname. The best dose was in treatment D with a growth of 5.61 grams, FCR (feed conversion ratio) around 1.17 and SR (survival rate) 100 %. The water quality parameters were found during the observation: temperature of 29-32°C, the salinity of 20-25 ppt, and pH of 7.8 - 8.2.
