The research on the manufacturing process and characterization of Centella asiatica dried extract by adding lactose was carried out. The ratio of “pegagan” extract to lactose is 2: 1; 1: 1; and 2: 3. Products in the form of dry extract can be used as feed additives in poultry feed formulas. The results showed that the ratio of “pegagan” extract to lactose in the ratio of 2: 1, obtained the best dry extract “pegagan”flour character. The results of the characterization of dried “pegagan” extract are: shrinkage levels of 1.52%. total ash content of 1.17%, acid soluble ash content of 0.95%, water soluble compound content of 83.32% and organic solvent soluble compound content of 13.01%. Based on the results of the characterization test, “pegagan” dry extract flour can be classified as a feed additive in poultry feed formulas.
