Effectivity of liquid herbal and supplemented frequency on the body weight percentage of the carcass and abdominal fat of broilers

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of two liquid herbals and interval regulation on the percentage of the carcass and abdominal fat of broilers. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized factorial pattern design with factor A (combination of herbal ingredients) factor B (when giving herbal ingredients) in 4 replications. Liquid herbals supplemented to broilers consist of 5 herbal ingredients(A1) and consist of7 herbal ingredients (A2) that supplemented to broilers every day (B1) and every 2 days (B2). Measured Parameters were body weight, the percentage of the carcass and abdominal fat. Analysis of variances showed liquid herbals and interval regulation added in water did not have a significant effect (P> 0.05) on the percentage of carcasses and body weight even though the average rate showed a trend of improvement but a significant effect on the percentage of abdominal fat based on LSD test results.
