Abstract


This study was conducted particularly to investigate the effect of various level
supplementation of white turmeric meal (WTM) in the diet on overall performance and carcass quality of male broiler. The implication of different diet inclusion levels (l % and 2 %) of WTM on total feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion, carcass
analysis (slaughter weight, carcass weight, meat weight, weight of abdominal fat,
percentage of carcass, and percentage of fat abdominal) of broilers were tested
comparing to untreated control birds. A hundred and thirty five male day old broiler
chicken were used for a 35 days feeding trial to test the supplementation of WT. There were four different dietary treatments, namely RIS (1.00% WTM, sun dried), R2S (2.00% WTM, sun dried), RIW (1.00% WTM, wind dried), and R2W (2.00% WTM, wind dried). Daily feed consumption and weekly body weight were recorded to get the data of total feed intake (Fl), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and body weight gain (BWG). At the 5 week, 1 bird was randomly selected from each of the four dietary treatments. The birds were slaughter by cutting the neck through the jugular vein to determine the carcass parameters. The results showed that supplementation of 2.00% WTM reduce total Fl (P<.05) and FCR (P<.05), but didn’t affect BWG in all the treatments. At the other hand, there were also no significant differences among birds raised on diets with WTM supplementation up to hat levels on slaughter weight, carcass weight, meat weight, weight of abdominal fat, percentage of carcass, and percentage of fat abdominal. It was concluded that supplementation of WTM up to 2.00% can be used to increase feed efficiency but can not be used to improve carcass quality.
