Addition garlic extract in ration on fat deposition of broiler

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effect of garlic extract on the fat deposition of the broiler. The experimental design used Completely Randomized Design with four treatments, each treatment has of five replications and each replication consist of four broilers. The data using analysis of variance and when there were have significant differences, then further tested by Duncan New Multiple Range Test. The treatments were T0 (without garlic extract), T1 (2%), T2 (4), and T3 (6%). The treatments were started from 15 to 35 days of age. Parameters observed included: feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion, carcass weight, carcass percentage, abdominal fat weight, and abdominal fat percentage. The results showed that the addition of garlic extract did not affect (P>0.05) to feed consumption. The addition 2% of garlic extract in ration had a significant effect on body weight and feed conversion while addition 4% of garlic extract in ration decreased (P<0.01) abdominal fat weight, abdominal fat percentage, and increased carcass weight P<0.05 ) and percentage of the carcass (P<0.01).
