Abstract

<p>This study was aimed to determined fat content and saturated fatty acid profile (SFA), unsaturated fatty<br />acid profil (PUFA and MUFA) broiler chicken meat feeding with kayambang leaf flour (Salvinia molesta). This<br />research used 100 broiler chickens at 15 days old unsex with average weight 500 ± 6,99 g. This research used<br />Completely Randomized Design. Ration treatments arranged for starter and finisher periods. Ration treatments<br />were T0 (ration without Salvinia molesta leaf meal); T1 (ration with Salvinia molesta leaf meal 6%); T2 (ration<br />with Salvinia molesta leaf meal 12%); and T3 (ration with Salvinia molesta leaf meal 18%). The fat content<br />data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Variance at significance level of 5%. The fatty acid profile data<br />were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The results showed that Salvinia molesta leaf meal<br />treatment in broiler diet didn’t affect significantly (P <0.05) of fat content of the meat. Fatty acid profile showed<br />amount of saturated fatty acids decreased from T0 to T3 of the amount of saturated fatty acids 53.21% to<br />24.57% and the amount of unsaturated fatty acids increased from 39.94% to 68.79% from T0 to T3. Based on<br />the results of the present study it was concluded that Salvinia molesta leaf meal can to reduce the content of<br />saturated fatty acid and increasing the content of unsaturated fatty acid.<br />Keywords: broiler chicken, Salvinia molesta, saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid</p>
