Abstract

This study aims to examine the purchase of turmeric flour and papaya flour in the ration on the quality of broiler chicken meat. The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. Treatment with various levels of turmeric flour and papaya leaf flour consists of P0: ration without the addition of turmeric flour and papaya leaf flour; P1: ration with the addition of 0.5% turmeric flour; P2: Ration with addition of 2,5% papaya leaf flour and P3: Ration with addition of 0.5% turmeric flour and 2,5% papaya leaf flour. The parameters studied were the level of meat protein, meat fat content, tenderness of meat and shrinkage of cooked meat. The results showed that the treatment effect was a very significant effect (P<0.01) on meat protein content and meat fat content, meat tenderness showed significantly different results (P<0.05), but did not provide a significant difference (P<0.05) for moisture content of meat and to cook meat shrinkage. The conclusion of this study is the addition of turmeric flour and papaya leaves as feed additives in broiler chickens which have a significant effect on the quality of broiler chicken meat.

Highlights

Feed is an important factor and the main factor that can produce livestock production is meat
The parameters studied were the level of meat protein, meat fat content, tenderness of meat and shrinkage of cooked meat
The highest average protein content in broiler chicken meat is in P2 which is 16.64%, while the lowest protein content of broiler chicken meat is in P1 which is 14.23%

Summary

Introduction

Feed is an important factor and the main factor that can produce livestock production is meat. The feed given to the chicken will be given to the quality of the meat. Many farmers only provide commercial feed to broilers. The commercial feed needs to be added additional feed to increase chicken meat production. The feed additive itself is a supplementary material used as a source of providers of vitamins, minerals and antibiotics [1]. One of the various types of feed given to broilers there are those that come from horticultural plants, one of which is turmeric. Turmeric is an herbal plant that contains curcumin and can give color to processed products and has bioactive compounds that act as antimicrobials [2]
